Help me identify the Mystery box (pics)
Hi!
While being busy with my EFI project on Sat,i found this mysterious box.
It was bolted to the passenger side of the footwell,underneath the carpet.(I have a RHD Rx7)
Do any of your guys have the same box?If you do,what does it do?
Here is 2 pics of it.
Thanks!

****, ya know what...I wasn't even paying half attention. Was thinking underneath the storage bin. But yeah, come to think of it...yes it could be an ECU, I've heard the 12a's do have them. heh

Here is the ECU pin out diagram if anyone is interested. I have not looked at it closely, but I think you should be able to remove it if you don't have a rats nest. You will have to at least bypass the fuel pump relay (for cars where the fuel pump only runs when cranking or engine running, '84 and '85). This diagram is for the '84 and '85 cars BTW.

It's the "ECU" in this case an emisions control unit, not really sure on what mazda called it. And yes if you follow the mass of wires from the rats nest they go to that little box. That little box also controls your fuel pump. I would say it's not needed (I threw mine away last year) but my car is not close enoff (sp) to stock to say. But again the only important thing it controls is the fuel pump off a oil pressure signal (if I'm not mistaken.) And of course it's easy just to jump the wires in the conctor that go to the pump.
