Ok Gents time for an update. I've been making decent progress and the car is on the road just needing an inspection. It had failed because of the CELs mentioned before, and then the day after i fixed that, they muffler pipe came separated from the Catalytic converter mounting plate. Kind or a...

Just wanted to update you fine gents. I was able to swap out just the motor/blades/controller from a SPECTRA PREMIUM CF21003 from RockAuto. took about 2 hours to get the old one out, swap new parts into the OEM shroud and then reinstall.

Have you read through this thread?? https://www.mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/fuel-pressure-drops-then-stalls.5606/page-3

beats me, unless you put in another bad ITFP. I'd start looking from your tank. to your HPFP. Only thing I would think that would start dying the longer you run the car. https://corksport.com/blog/hpfp-troubleshooting/ With the key on and engine off (KOEO), you should have 55–71 psi registering...

16psi with the car just sitting there?

The little black box that sits on top of the manifold, or the vacuum controlled plunger that sits on the right of the manifold? I have the plunger connected to the rod and switch sensor, but no vacuum connected to it.

yes, i set the scalars for the MAP in ATR. not sure if that's a one and done type thing, or just to get you off the ground. i do plan on getting a pro-tune, but need to iron out a bunch of kinks before I start going down that path.

P2009 - I believe it's because of VCTS delete and all i need to do is uncheck in ATR? P0098 - i need to double check that the CS 3.5 BAR MAP is connected. i assume it is since the car ran great. U2064 - probably tied to another code. U2023 - read in the service manual it may be related to EHPAS...

Finally got some plates. Took it for a spin and seems I blew a power steering line. Also have a few DTCs I need to get to solving. But damn,... it's snappy! Definitely had a good grin going for a few hours

Using the AP, I monitored coolant temp get up to 225 with the fan not turning on at all. That's the main symptom. I'm reviving this car from sitting for 3 years, so it's not as if it was working last week and just started running funny. Lots of electrical gremlins. While the car was at 225, I...

Regarding the clunks, my money is on sway bar bushings. they're a bitch because they're mounted on the top side of the sway bar/sub-frame. .

Anyone know of radiator fans that will work with the Mazdaspeed 3s? looks like regular mazda fans are $100, and MS3 one is about $450. I troubleshoot my fan down to the controller. seems like it was not passing ground to the fan itself. I also verified i was getting a control signal and...

is there a link to this o-ring kit, or did you just order a bunch off McMaster Carr or something?

i had an old spare from a friend. looks to have cleared it up. pressure now rises after the car is shut off.

ok, need someone to doublecheck to make sure i'm not crazy. if i run the car up to temp and then shut it off, the fuel pressure relief valve should build pressure no? looks like i may need to replace mine. can someone review this log and let me know?
