When I did my injector upgrade I replaced all the grommets, and the Air bleed orings. IF u can spin the air bleeds around your orings may be old and dry, this caused a very minor vac leak in my car. may be the case in yours?

The fuel injector lower grommets are notorious for leaking...

I don't have cruise control anymore, nor A/C or P/S.
sprayed starting fluid on top, around the ic, between the TB and firewall, under the UIM, along the LIM, and around the turbo compressor.
I replaced the fuel injector grommets/o-rings/pintle caps with new ones from Mazdatrix.

I had idle trouble with my 84 gsl se, stock, i tried everything and it was random. So i pulled off the bac. All better, rock solid 850 idle. I also have an 87 TII. All emmisons removed, OMP, even the bac. Only maf, tps, intake air temp, coolant temp, Map, i'm sure i forgot something but only the bear essentials. It idles at 1200 when warm and 1000 when cool. I also did tb mod and secondary removal. In conclusion, try pulling the Bac and blocking it off, don't trash it just try it, if you haven't.

On a normal car, during a cold engine start, the airbypass solenoid opens for 17 seconds to feed extra air to that nipple next to the bac, causing a close to 3000 rpm engine speed for 17 seconds to warm the catalytic converter up. After the 17 seconds the air bypass solenoid closes.
You routed around the air bypass solenoid which in effect caused a constant flow of air from the intercooler to that nipple next to the bac. So block both nipples, the one on the intercooler and the one next to the bac.
USE the one next to the bac for a vacuum source for your aftermarket bov.
Air Bypass Valve is referred to as a AWS valve on the series five.
