Might be worth a drive down to Mazda Heaven in Mansfield. Give them a call and see if they have one.
If it tests bad, I suppose you could get a resistor to put on the connector in place of the ISC, then block off the tube in the ISC that the AIR passes through. Only problem is that your car would idle low when cold which could cause it to stall. One the car was warmed up, it should run perfectly though.Quote:

i really only need it to be ok long enough to get past the inspection then can go back the way it is till i get the time/money to correctly fix
you guys are the bomb ... i am sure i will need a ton of help for a while from you guys over time :D

Did you test the one on your car to confirm that's the problem? That's the first thing you need to do, then see if someone here can help you, or ebay. 55.00 isn't exactly a bargain.
it is compared to the 250 for a new one ;) ...... i couldn't get a consistent reading at all on mine. the gauge just went nutz ... my neighbor (whose gauge i borrowed) said it should never do that .... i checked EBAY none only for the 1.8, same with Jim and the fixit guy with the ebay store ... someone pmd me a couple different names and numbers but when i called them all they had was for the 1.8 not the 1.6 like i have :(, i did notice something else that struck me as wierd though i have to pull my clutch almost all the way out to get the rpm to come down , if i did that in my z it would stall,Quote:

Spray WD40 on the hose with the crack and see if it affects your rpm's. Check your other vacuum hoses this way as well.
In the case of vacuum leaks, there will not be any air escaping. In fact, the air will be sucked in through the crack. Be sure to check the brake booster hose, as this is a major component of the vacuum system. Any cracks in vacuum hoses will definately leak. The small ones are really cheap to replace, so it may not be a bad idea to get 6 feet of hose at vato zone and replace anything you can reach.Quote:

.... also i pulled the engine codes and i got a 17 ... engine detects to rich or too lean ...
damnit cleaning the TB just made it worse .... my IAC is on order though should be here within a few days ...
