Dang. it's already on CoPart. Online Car Auctions | Repairable & Used Cars - Copart

This is probably the worst post I have ever had to make. On Tuesday before Christmas, some kid ran a red light and smacked into me. After 164,322 miles, all driven by me (except for about 100 of them), after 2 months shy of 16 years, my Mazdaspeed is headed to the wrecker. I was doing about...

Got home and hooked up my boost leak tester. I could hear more than a hiss coming from around the turbo inlet. When I put my hand on the turbo inlet, I could change the sound of the hiss by moving the turbo inlet. So I pulled it off. I found the clamp that held the turbo-inlet-to-turbo coupler...

Last night I bought all the parts to make my boost leak tester. Will assemble it tonight but won't be able to test it for about 10 more days (on a bidness trip, then camping). I pulled my MAF to check the O-Ring. The o-ring looked fine but when I was putting it back together, my MAF does not...

Will do both this week! Heading to HD to get boose leak tester parts TODAY!

Year/Make/Model: 2009 MS3 Genwon Mileage: 160K Location: Boise ID Concern: See above DTC's: 2177 Engine lean at idle 2187 Engine lean off idle Modifications: See signature ECU/Tuning Software: Factory ECU, AP V3 Tuner: Justin @ Freaktune Is the concern intermittent?: Yes Can you duplicate the...

May be a stupid question but when you did your compression test, you ensured the throttle was wide open, right?

Gen 1, mods in my signature below. 160k Miles and all of them are mine (I bought this car new with 60 miles on it). Runs great, no misfires, smooth even idle but I get the occasional 2177 or 2187 but never at the same time, though. Lately (last 10k miles or so) those 2 codes are getting more...

Copy. I can't pull them for pics for about a month and a half. It does seem to be running much better now that I re-gapped them, though. I am road tripping from SoCal to Boise next week (via Mojave) so I am trying to make sure it is all ready for the drive. Just bought a spare OEM coil pack I...

I put a set of NGK Iridium plugs Part number 6510 in my dude at 135K when I put my S3 on. I am now at 150K (so about 15K on that turbo/plugs and about 5k on corn). I am starting to get an intermittent miss here and there but no check engine light yet. I pulled my plugs today and they look...

I used Youtube. The two videos I watched had the people unhooking 2 fuel lines under the car but I had a tough time removing those so I left them alone. Here are the steps I used: 1) remove rear seat, remove the black access panel. Pull the electrical connector, push the white button on the...

all buttoned up. Took it for a spin and so far everything seems good to go. I did one 3rd gear pull and fuel pressure stayed north of 1700psi so fingers crossed this was a solid fix. I have almost no fuel in my tank so I could not take a longer road trip to check it out. If anyone else ever...

OK, got all my parts (pump, Pickup strainer, and fuel filter body dealy). Dropped my tank without drama. Then I spent 2 hours hammering away on retaining ring. it was absolutely seized on there. Yes, I bent the little locking tabs out of the way. After 90 mins of hammer and punch (and even...

OK, so I pulled my back seat up and took a look at it. By my judgement, it looks like this is about what I would need to cut. I really don't want to cut that much so I think I am going to just drop the tank. It's more work but I feel like I will be happier in the long run. I'll just plan to kill...

Not a dumb question. I am not the smartest person in the world and have missed simple things like this in the past. I get the same results regardless of fuel level.

Yeah, he saw it first. It’s a little inconsistent. So I would run a log, he noticed it and gave me some suggestions to try, I would run a log, get good pressure on the log, he would send me a new tune, etc. i cleaned my dump, then replaced the dump valve, the removed the entire HPFP housing and...

That all makes sense. I have run the PRV test a few times and it pops off at 1850 psi or so. My car runs good 99% of the time but at WOT for more than a couple seconds, injector duty cycle starts to climb (like mid to high 90%s), and pressure drops to 1000PSI or less. If I do 3/4 throttle or...

OK, copy that. In the next couple weeks I plan to pull it out to check my filter anyway so I may just swap the pump, too, since I am in there. It would be nice to trim the panel before I open the tank (to keep metal chunks from falling in the tank). When I pull my seat up and pull the panel off...

I don't see anywhere on my Access Port where I can log my low pressure side. As I am reading around it looks like there are Deatschwerks and AEM in tank pumps that push 265LPH, 340LPH, and 365LPH. What does the stock pump push? Any advice on the quality of these pumps? I can pull the pump out...

My Gen 1 has just about 150K miles on it (I bought it new in 09). During my last tuning session we noticed I am not always maintaining 1700PSI on my fuel rail during pulls. PRV test passes at over 1800 PSI. I have cleaned my dump valve a few times. Could my in tank fuel filter, possibly be...
