I just put my base manifold gasket in, and I heard the littlest bit of air and I got scared, but its definetely coming from this plastic piece that the manual calls a pressure regulator, is it suppose to like leak air? does it kinda just bleed off the extra or something? does anybody know what im talkin about?

 

Come on somebodys got to know-if its suppose to do this youll hear air too, but only the N/A guys, I think turbos are different.

 

Damnit, someone has to know-its pissin me off

 

Oh man, someone help this poor guy! I think the RX7 Gods have retired for the new year or something?!...come on SOMEONE!!!!

 

The little Devil here does not know what exactly your talking about. Where is it?

 

its on the back of the dynamic chamber, its a plastice cylinder shaped piece with I think 2 tubes running into the bottom of it, its right by the throttle

 

It sounds like the cold start thermo wax.&nbsp I think the plastic "cap" turns when you twist it?&nbsp If so, that's normal.

I thought the manual called it the pressure regulator, but I think the cap does turn, so should a little bit of air leak out all the time while the car is running?

 

Nah, if this thing is like on the throttle body(?), then it's the thermo wax.

If you're talking about the fuel pressure regulator (one small hose and one larger hose), then that's something else.&nbsp If this thing is hissing, it's not leaking - it's bypassing gas, so it's perfectly normal.
