latinopikachu Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 You, sir, are helpless. Even the resident assbanger (me) was able to figure it out. I can try and help... PM me for my number. after all that drama with trying to get past the TCS light, does your supercharger rattle and sound asthmatic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enginph Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 idk i wouldnt go to mazda anyway. It seems that if you keep this car you will have to invest more money. You may consider buying a honda/ toyota. Seriously going to mazda everytime will cost a lot. And your mechanic doesnt give a good impression as well..

Matt64341 Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 the diagnostic is where they pull the code which is general and investigate to find the cause. you'll spend a lot of money going to mazda, even to your mechanic in general, if you learn more about the engine then you'll be fixing most of your problems yourself, and you'll have more money to put into things you want for the car and not need. my dealer wanted 80 dollars for a diagnostic and when the found out out what was wrong parts and labor on top of that. I paid 20 dollars for the code, which was ridiculous, and left, I found the problem and got a couple feet of vacuum hose for free from autozone and fixed it.

latinopikachu Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 damn it, changing th ABV is not going to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renboy Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Has anybody had the problem i describe? The cars tsc light coming on and not being able to go above 3000 rpm's when reved??? Yes it's vacuum related, no doubt. Your mechanic may not be a retard, but he's no miller guru either. Either your hoses, the solenoids, or the shutter valve itself (doubtful) are fucked up. I guarantee mts or myself would have it fixed in less than 1/2 an hour, including a coffee/8eer break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latinopikachu Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 probably less, considering MTS guided ME through fixing it in about 10min... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street3890 Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 lol well as of now it hasn't happened in a few days and the engine check light isn't on and it has only happened when the check light was on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mts Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 If it is intermittent then it is a vacuum leak, but since you do not want to venture into the realms of vacuum line chasing.... count the days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renboy Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 probably less, considering MTS guided ME through fixing it in about 10min... That's true, but you didn't have to remove any plumbing to replace broken t's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
