OK, I've looked through the files several times and I'm just completely failing to find it- is there a diagram someplace in the FSM (or elsewhere) that shows how all the linkages on the throttle body go together (i.e., the springs, stoppers, etc. on the 'axles/rods' the plates mount to)? I've taken a lot of pictures as I disassembled mine to clean it thoroughly and have a spare assembled one to use as a reference- but I'd prefer having a diagram to check thing against as well. Thanks!

 

having taken apart my S4 NA linkage completely, there really is only one way that it goes back together and works correctly. I had layed all the components out in the order and orientation in which they went back on, and then my dad moved all the stuff into a pile and mixed it all up. So if you have pictures of how it was, then you should be good. If you reverse a component, it just wont go back together right.

 

You might try the parts fische that is out there SOMEWHERE. IF you find the fische, save it to your hard drive. It does show the linkage in at least SOME detail.

 

That did it- S4 Parts Fiche (on the MazdaComp site), page 1-C5. Just what I was looking for. Thanks!
