Ok, so i have been having idle issues out the wazooli since i removed all the extra BS mazda put on these motors. Fixed everything under the sun that i could think of that was fairly cheap (sensors, plugs, etc.)

Well i found the dirty bastard of a culprit today-

1st culprit, one of the vacuum caps I put on the Intercooler had a slit in it, this would explain why my car "whistled while it worked"

2nd, The plate i mades for the ACV, it has a little ear on the top that covers a pretty strong source of vacuum, it was bent out a bit causing A WHOLE LOT OF TROUBLE....little bastard!

Now my boost is back to about 7.5 psi (right where i want it since i haven't got the FCD yet) She idles, not perfect, i think another plate may have the same problem just not as bad- I guess i should have replaced the blade on my bandsaw the first time it hung up-

New plates on the way anyway! WOOWOOWOO Feels good to have some victory-

 

Oops..Wrong thread. COngrats man.

 

Interesting.

A good example of how a little thing like the condition of a saw blade results in a big annoying problem.

More proof of how important it is to approach car work in a conservative, methodical way while following the kinds of irritating rules we didn't want to learn in Shop Class, like keeping your tools clean and organized.

Thanks for sharing.

 

The whistles go WOOOO WOOOOO

retardedness at its best.
