:(:(Had a mechanic bang up a solenoind valve and put it back together with straws. It's a CSV or CRV solenoid, sits right on top of the engine.
I'd like to replace i with used but working. Anybody got one for sale or where is the best place to look near Richardson He also lost on of my head ligh:(:(t notor adjustment knobs. Mazda thinks these tings are made of gold
Can I get a translation on the above post in English please.
Thanks in advance!
WTF? :scratch:
Not a Clue??????
Year, Make, and Model of car please.
Also, if you have a picture of the damaged parts that would help.
Also, where is said bad mechanic who broke it but isn't replacing it?
Proofreading before clicking submit is a great idea if you want people to understand you and offer assistance.
Besides that, it might help to know the year model of your car. I'm assuming it's a 90-97 based on your mention of a "head ligh:sad::sad:t notor adjustment knobs" which I am assuming is a head light motor adjustment knob.
It still does not clarify your archaic typing.

You might want to start over....
It sounds to me like you need a PCV Valve and a head light motor adjustment knob. I can sell you the knob. The PCV valve is not something that you really want to go used with. It is a maintenance item that should be replaced every 60k miles or so. Stop by any auto parts store and buy a new one... should be pretty cheap.
sounds like that thing on the valve cover of the 01+ motors?
Its a solenoid...94 m
Sits right on top of engine on a 94
Hell if I know what it does...but he upt it back tiogether with soda straws
Supposed to be unique to a 94
Would part number or pic help
Where's the nearest salvage yard?
A pic would help.
There are many folks here with parts stashes that might have it.
The tricky part is that there really isn't much on the engine that sounds like what you are describing.
Well, as many of you know, I have a 94. Upon closer inspection, I noticed a little solenoid between the plasma capacitor and the exhaust bearing switch. I'll see if I can find out the name of this little gizmo...
Aww come on dont start that with someone who is this new to cars. At least he admits he doesnt have a clue. Its the people who think they know everything but dont that need to fill up their headlight fluid.Quote:

In front left is the throttle body with some switches and solenoids, but I wouldn't call that on top. Also, in front is a water temp sensor, but I wouldn't call that on top either.Quote:

Yes, a picture would help......a LOT!
...salvage lot..... It depends where you live! The metroplex is BIG. :rolleyes:
The only thing I can see that might somehow be rigged with soda straws would be the PCV valve.
Did he also put a little umbrella on it? If he did does it smell like pineapple?

Sammm has some very special TCB magnets for the sort of person who would buy a used PCV valve... Those things are $2.50 at Autozone... That would be hilarious.
I sent flicks to those in the know
I need good salvage references in the Richarrdson area...don't want to have to make the trek out to Mazda Heaven
I've driven the same car for 14 years...want to drive it 14 more
no offense but if you're too stubborn to post pics except to "those in the know" then most of us could really give a crap about your busted car :)
If you want help from a forum, use some common sense and post all the pics you can. MadMerv for instance has been road racing miatas since they came out. I know I"ve seen him in them since 1994 personally at least. I've been working in, around, and on them since 1992. And plenty of others have as well. :)
So I'll put this as delicately as I can. Post pics, or quit asking stupid questions about something you have no idea what it is or how to describe it!

Since you are in Richardson, why don't you just drive down to Town North Mazda and ask the parts guy to look at it and sell you a replacement part?
