Breather caps on solenoids available?
Does anyone know if the breather caps on several of the solenoids are available as separate parts? I recall seeing one or two of those caps on hose ends when I took out the old rubber lines, but I can't seem to locate them in the parts fiche.

Go to your local wrecker...all the solenoids aew identical and can be found on other 90ish Mazda's. So can water and fuel temp sensors, and check valves. I replaced all my brittle parts for less than 50 bucks.

dgeesaman: Thanks, I'll check tonight to see if the caps can be disassembled. If so, I'll just replace the filter elements.
Ledfoot: Good idea. I've seen plenty of FCs in the yards around my area. I'll try scavenging them for solenoids.

Yeah, I noticed. I took off the retainer over the felt. Looks like the same sort of material used for EGR valve filters in two layers. Either I'll clean them out or hole punch some air filter element to replace the felt.
