I have a 85 GSL-SE, and my intake was off recently to replace my injectors. I put everything back together as I remembered it, and it started the first day, it wouldn't idle (it would stay at around 3000 rpm) and I drove it anyway just to get it out of the shop, and I was going to adjust it in my garage. And on my way home I noticed a weird smell, and when I parked there was white smoke pouring out of my engine. One of my coolant lines that links up to the dynamic chamber had been leaking, and sprayed all over my engine. So I had to take my intake off again to make sure there were no other leaks, and to clean it up. I thought I had put everything back together, but I was working outside in the snow so I was trying to get it done fast. Anyway I spilt a little bit of coolant down my intake manifold, I thought it would just burn off, and I just bolted everything back up quickly. Now I know for a fact my throttle cables are loose, and not adjusted properly, but it's f-ing cold out, and I would much rather wait to get the car running and into a warm garage to adjust it. When I went to start it, it wouldn't start at first, it got flooded. I flood cleared it, and it fired up, but it was smoking like crazy (the coolant burnign off, plus running rich, and a little bit of ATF I poured in to lube everything up)and the car just wouldn't stay running, it wasen't doing this when I first put it back together. I don't really want to spend my time outside in the snow looking for this problem, and I need some answers about what this could be before I go tearing it apart outside. All the car does now is it'll start for a sec, jump to around 2.5K rpms, and then die, I can't even keep it running with my foot to the floor.

BTW, I noticed that something is missing on my exhuast manifold, not quite sure what it is, but its in between my intake manifold, and my O2 sensor, theres left over studs for something... Not sure if this is related to my issue.

bump, if anyone has any ideas, maybe rx7doctor can help out with this.

Ummm yes. There should be a auxiliary port valve there. there's one in the front too.won't run too good without those. major vacuum leak. you need to get yourself a mazda service manual and start reading. take it one system at a time.

Any chance I could fab a block off plate, or do i need that port valve, it's never had that valve and I've done a propane test to look for vacuum leaks, and it came up fine a few months ago.

i pluged mine with something like jb weld and there are no leaks what so ever. another thing that you want to seeis if the rod is removed b4 you determan if it the leak or not

Theres no leak there, I'm not sure what that is for, but theres deffenatly no place where vacuum can escape. Today I removed my whole intake manifold again, and nothing really came out to as why its not starting. Everything was installed back right. Although a plastic mount for a vacuum diaphram (links up to the BAC valve) was broken. I also noticed a hole for a bolt about 1 inch over from my fuel rail, not sure if anything bolts up to that either. Would fuel injectors make my car behave like this. They are 22 years old, and were leaking (reason why I had done this work in the first place), but I replaced the seals and o-rings (injector company won't ship to Canada), but they worked when I had them out. Could those be at fualt. Well tomorrow I'm testing my TPS, coolant temp sensor, cleaning my TB, if anyone with experience has any other suggestions it would be apprecaited.
