Hey talk to me on AIM I've done two jobs in the las few months


My SN is DocWankel

 

my AOL name is Lastrican7 by the way

 

Just cut it off & replace it . There are also two smaller hoses on the bottom rear side of the manifold, did you get those along with the three electrical connectors back there?

Other things at the rear that needs removing if you haven't already done so: Throttle body coolant line (IN)
Map sensor hose
Small hose running to roundish actuator thingy on throttle body
(sorry my manual's outside in the car right now, can't recall the
proper name)
Coolant hose running from bottom of throttle body (OUT)

 

you broke a check valve
you can use a generic one in the meantime
i wouldnt glue it back together.....

 

thanks for all the help guys.......i got the manny off....time to get messy now... where can i get a generic check valve or what would be wrong in gluing the heck out of the valve i broke another one before it was black/green glued the hell out of it and havent noticed any leaks from there.

 

If it were me, I'd just replace the check valve with an original from Mazda. I think they're like $20.

word of advice, be vary careful with all the hoses attachted to plastic nipples. everything is easy to break. use an xacto knife to slice the hose and dont try tosnap anything off. ive alraedy broke four solenoids. good luck, brad
