i even just got temp. plates for my car yesterday.do u think i can rebulid it or i need a new engine. |
If it cranks, check the compression.
|
check for vacuum leaks too
|
i think i had a vacuum leak before already b/c my idle wasn't staying. but when it was like that the car will start right up. i think i need to find someone to check my compression.
|
Go to AutoZone, or similar, and get a regular compression gauge. Remove the Shrader valve, and you're all set. DO NOT take it to a Mazda dealer, they will give you false readings.
|
ok thanx i'll try it
i'm new to rotary so where is the shrader valve. |
Some are on the line and some are on the gauge body itself. If you ask the guy at the parts store, he should be able to help you.
