Online Manual Resource

I ran across this today...

https://charm.li/Mazda/

They have online and downloadable manuals and parts reference in a consistent format for many, many cars. I direct linked to Mazda above. I have no affiliation to the site. It looks nice in my 20 minutes of exploring.

Going through the 1984 GSL-SE section had some great factory information in there including how to diagnose and fix "Idle Surging", poor driveability due to sticking 2ndary throttle valves (*SE Throttle Body), and even some info on symptoms if your rear tail light harness is blowing fuses (...pull the bin and check the left side harness where it goes over the wheel arch!).

Thanks for the links!

There is some really good images and references in this thing. From what I've seen so far, it's better than the factory service manual. I was able to download the zip on my MAC and open it. Downloading to my PC the zip file didn't work.

Do you have 7-zip ?
Sometimes the extractor included with Windows doesn't work and I've had to use that program.

I tried WinZip but it also says it invalid. I'll try 7-Zip tonight.

There's a warning once you click the DL link that Windows built in extractor doesn't work
