Re: Re: HELP me with my emissions problem....PLEASE

Steve,

Wuzzup? I couldn't make it to the meeting on the 21th. I checked out the pics and it looks like it was a great showing! I'll try to make the next one if my car is acting right!

I would take the ride to A-Spec but I'm out of work right now and I don't have the loot to pay a mechanic right now...that's why I'm trying to fix the problem myself.

******* Mazda dealerships don't know anything. I called to get a price check on the ISC and they said that they didn't have a part by that name and that their part was called a IAC (idle air control) and that it would cost $683.00 plus tax for the part and $300 for the install because it was hard to get to. From the pictures in the Workshop book, the damn thing appears to be located just under the manifold cover NOT next to the firewall and the choke like they were saying.

I called another dealership and they gave me an entirely different part. At least it cost a lot less at $194 but they're calling it a throttle sensor. I'm pretty sure that the throttle sensor and the ISC are two totally different things! Also, the service codes in the manual that I were reading off to the Mazda parts departments were like a foreign language to these guys. They didn't know what I was talking about. Mazdatrix doesn't carry any solenoids and they never heard of an ISC either.

Every single thing in the manual leads to a short in the ISC to correct the idle problem. The way it sounds, I don't have to buy a new one....only re-wire it!!

I need to get this done ASAP. You wanna help? I'll come out to your crib early one morning. I can also kick you down with some cash once I get another job and get on my feet!!
