Hey guys, i couldn't find anything about this but heres my question. My friend broke the nipple off the filter that goes before the boost senser to filter the gas or whatever it does.

Is it ok to run without that filter? or atleast for like a day or somthing until he gets a new one?
let me know
thanks

 

are you talking about the MAP sensor?...in that case, no definately do not run it

I beleive the map sensor says boost sensor on it, i could be wrong though

 

I wouldn't do it. Mazda did put it there for a reason. You could damage the sensor running the car without it.

 

It is a solid element oil filter. Any inline filter will work.

 

Well i have an extra one that i can let him barrow, but i didn't know if he could run with out it or not.

I figured mazda did put it on there for reason.

thanks guys

 

DOH! So what happens if you dont use one ??
Kinda dont have one atm.

 

hmm looks like this thread can be helpful

 

Anyone? Know what could happen if you DONT put one on?

 

You'll plug it up with fuel/oil vapor. It's not cheap to replace wither.

 

So what do I ask for when I go to Discount? Type of filter will work? I know its a 4mm line

 

It will work. My car didn't come with one and I ran it for about 1 year before getting one.

But I still want to be safe
I know that the map sensor is WAYY to pricey =P
