I'll pull out my rockauto invoice tonight. They don't list them anymore, they just have the Beck arnley remans now. They had another one that was a little cheaper. Guessing I probably now why they aren't listed anymore. I planned to call them later this week.

I am glad to announce that the speed is up and running like it should. I'm disappointed to admit the replacement injectors were the cause. I sent my oem oens out for cleaning and flowcheck to keep as a back up while I assembled the engine. Thank you to Injector Experts for the work. Over...

No updates yet. I'm still struggling to get a pcm. Mynt said they don't have it, but are hoping to have it Monday. Reached out to the mazdaspeed person on Instagram and they had one that was close in number and is supposed to be compatible according to Mynt. That should ship today and then I...

Thank you, I will have to give them a call!

Well, I was encouraged to get a replacement pcm. Unfortunately, Flagship couldn't get it, Mazda discontinued it. No one else seems to have it that I googled and was listed "in stock". I haven't touched the car since the last posting. I'm going to try reflashing and poking around in the pcm...

Reading on the ForScan forums, it said to bypass this and attempt to write ...seemed sketchy. Tried it anyway and got a "Configuration Structure Missmatch". Going to talk to some of the controls engineers at work to get some feedback.

Logged into ForScan and tried to write as built and got an error: number of blocks in file and module doesn't match continue anyway? I click no because i don't want to brick the ecm. ForScan didn't give me the option to upload my as built it asked if I was connected to the internet and got the...

Found this thread https://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/how-to-ecu-replacement.10717/page-3 Downloaded my as built from the website to avoid any corrupted data. Will attempt to reflash when I get home later. Disassembled the battery box to get my PCM number L3BG 18 881A just in case. Did...

Sadly, I tried the denso replacement and it acted the same. It's a factory intake, filter, etc. When I feel more motivated, I'll try running it without being connected to the filter box. I've got the full Forscan now. Is it possible to reflash? I haven't tried to search what can be done...

So. A little update. No issues with the wiring from throttle body to pcm. Manuals States to replace tbody. Replaced and voltages and percentages improved but didnt meet the specs. Car still fired and died. Then tbody voltages and percent went back to now change. While I was in the general...

Throttle sweeps for APP looked good. Let us not talk about me paying attention to APP and not looking at TP. Anyway, following the manual with key on engine off and depressing the APP, see below. I am going to check the wiring to the PCM (it appears sheilded but no disconnects between it and...

The fun continues. Thoughts on the below? I was pouring over the various data logs I have (incorrect MAF at start and operating temp with throttle blips, correct MAF start attempt and after warming up with incorrect MAF, and various other ones). What I noticed: APP1 (v & %) never changed from...

I couldn't wait until tomorrow. It's driving me mad. Maybe something, see below. Open circuit check (continuity should be yes) Maf terminal A to main relay: 0.0ohm. Good Maf terminal B and PCM terminal 1P: 0.0 ohm. Good Maf terminal C and PCM terminal 1AK: 0.0 ohm. Good Maf terminal D and...

Will do. I won't be able to get back to it until Wednesday. I'll shoot wires and report back. I have been working through the troubleshooting, obd and controls chapters in Sec 1. I will tell anyone who is not a metal member to become one. These manuals are a must have.

Disconnected the battery. Left it disconnected while I swapped in the denso unit plus an additional 60 secs. The car cranks, fires and dies again. I've got be missing something here.
