I getting ready to flat tow a 2011 Mazda3 hatch across 3 state and I'm looking for a place to attach the tow bar. Does anyone know what size the bolts are that hold on the bumper? Any help with this is much appreciated.

Just thinking out loud but what if you piped the egr valve to the intake tube after the maf? Would the car still run lean?

Sorry, I ment deleting the seals and valve body in the stock rack. My pump started making a pretty bad grinding noise a few days ago, so I pulled the belt and have been driving it like that. The car seems so much happier without the pump and I gained about 4 mpg. The only problem is my wife has...

Thanks for finding that for me. But as I stated before I don't have any interest in fixing the evap. I really just want to delete the entire system. I'm wondering if anyone else has done this and if so are you getting any evap codes?

I started noticing a raw fuel smell the other day. after looking around a bit I found it was coming from the evap system in the rear of the car on the driver side. Then this morning when I was getting gas the pump stopped at like a quarter tank. I figure the charcoal canister and who knows what...

Thanks for the quick response by the way.

Is there a write up anywhere? I dont ever have much luck this the search function on this forum.

Has anyone ever deleted their EVAP System? Just wondering if the car throws a code and if it can be flashed out of the ECU.

I just had a chance to measure the throttle body and MAF. The outside diameter of the throttle body is 2 1/2" The Out side diameter of the MAF if 2 3/4". Ill post some pics if anyone is interested in the final product.
