Well it started pretty simply. I orederd a FMIC, new intake, and a Greddy Puley Kit. So while I am waiting on the parts to arrive I decide to remove the air pump since I have a midpipe anyways. So I remove it and then I decide to remove the two pipes that went off the back of it.
I also removed the UIM to get it polished but I broke two little plastic check valves. They were stuck on the vacumn lines. Where can I get replacement ones? One was connected to the bottom of the UIM towards the rear of the car and the other was with the 4 vacumn lines that enter the UIM from the front driver side.
Also I plan on blocking off the ACV and the AWS. Does anything special have to be done for the AWS or do I just cap the elbow nipple and block of the the AWS? Where exactly is the ACV? I think it is where the upper pipe off of the Air Pump went, is that correct? Now I am also going non-sequential using Ryan (Don't be a Rikki) instructions. What else can be removed while I am this far in my disassembly? EGR, etc...? Scott

For the check valve, get some check valves from the HELP section of your local auto parts store. They are like 4 bucks a pop, I used them on my car before. But they are one way valves, like the stock ones and make sure you put them in the way the other ones were going.

i disagree.
Checkvalves are one of the things that you SHOULD get mazda replacememnts... They are designed for the heat and such of the FD3S

Does Mazdatrix sell them? I finished my non-sequential but now I have to get my BOP's made for the ACV and AWS. After that I believe I can start to put the UIM back on and get back to working on the FMIC installation.

do you have a power fc? if not then you have to put resistors in your electrical wires to trick your ecu. . . when removing all of the emissions equipment.

Ok then get Mazda replacements at like 25 bucks a pop. I'm just telling you what I used. For all I care you could use Kazoo's in place of your check valves..

It took me about 45 minutes to complete the non-sequential setup. I do have the PFC.
