    Crushed spark plug electrode? VICS screw failure??

    Got everything back together today and the car is running. Only problem I'm having is that the EGR tube connected to the header is leaking exhaust fumes (I also get a tiny bit of a "dry" sound when accelerating). I then tried tightening the EGR tube nut as much as I could and no dice. Don't...

    Crushed spark plug electrode? VICS screw failure??

    Update; took off the intake manifold today. The only thing that remained of the VICS was the rod. Zero screws, no butterflies. It all fell off. I shook out 6 screws and 4 butterflies from the lower manifold, all dirty and carbonized. One of the butterflies has both of its holes enlarged but the...

    Crushed spark plug electrode? VICS screw failure??

    I never heard anything from the engine bay so whatever went in there probably went out moments later (also reviewed dashcam footage and couldn't hear a thing). Replaced the damaged plug and the car drives fine. Don't know about engine damage but hopefully wasn't too chronic considering the VICS...

    Crushed spark plug electrode? VICS screw failure??

    I didn't recall hearing anything unusual from the engine, but then again this was at over 3000rpm, radio on and highway noise. Since my VIN falls within the recall range, is there any chance that Mazda would replace my intake? I don't really want to put the time into taking it all out.. And...

    Crushed spark plug electrode? VICS screw failure??

    I was driving home from work today, and when I got off a small stretch of highway (60mph to 20), I noticed my P5 running like s***. Engine RPM was fluctuating +/- 300 RPM under 1500, and like +/- 150 at under 3000. Really bad idle and driving experience. Lots of vibrations... to the point...

    Hawk Performance (HPS) Rear Brake Pads - $45 OBO

    Last chance to pick these up. Price decreased to $30 shipped. Once the eBay auction ends in about 10 hours, it's not coming back up. My price is going low because eBay is offering an attractive bonus ($25 GC) that makes this sale worth it to me.

    HELP! P5 is HORRIBLY loud when accelerating??

    Found the problem.. the pipe right after the precat has its flanges rusted off. Exhaust gases leak out when the car is driving/shaking. I'm either looking at a new "front pipe" or going all out with an aftermarket header. I presume the $80~ ebay headers are no good? Anyone see any issues with...

    HELP! P5 is HORRIBLY loud when accelerating??

    I was driving my stock 5spd P5 to work today, and accelerating up a small inclined road. Revved up to 4k and something popped.. my once nearly silent P5 turned into a motorboat on wheels. If I didn't know better, I would say that there is a problem with my exhaust system.. BUT, the strange...
