Hi. During this winter I have changed my twin turbo's to a set of new ones. Yesterday I took my RX7 for the first ride this year after changing the turbo's and immediately after starting the engine the "check engine light" starts flashing (it's not constantly on).

(There was nothing wrong with the vehicle before i changed the turbo's)

The car loses power during acceleration from time to time, not every time I hit the gas pedal, but often, and when it does it "dies out" and its feels similar as to touch the brake pedal when it happens.

I took a diagnose and this is what comes up:

Code nr 9: Water thermosensor
and
Code nr 38: Solenoid valve (accelerated warm up system)

The only thing I have changed and touched its the airfilters and the twin turbo's so I don't understand why I get these error codes...

Any ideas?!

The code 9 is the one which is most likely causing your car to run badly. Check the connection to the sensor on the back of the water pump housing. Make sure it's connected and not broken.

yeah, I just went out in the garage and guess what, the water thermosensor was broken.. So I hope a new one will fix my problem, thanks

Ok, so now I have changed the water thermosensor, but now the car blows excessive smoke everytime I get off the gas pedal when driving.
The smoke is slightly blue.

The twin turbo's are brand new and my engine was profesionally rebuild in late 2007 so can anything else except from a bad engine or turbo cause the smoke that is coming out the exhaust? Any type of failing valve or something?

Hope you guys can help me out
