RX7 Gen3 13B-REW - So many vaccum hoses! Can I remove any?
Hi there,
Last week I purchased a 1993 Mazda RX7 13B-REW Twin Turbo.
Today I was replacing some of the rubber vacuum hoses with silicone hoses as they were hard and cracked due to their age and extensive heat in the engine bay.
When I was removing the standard rubber hose from the "Switching Solenoid Valve" I accidently snapped the top nipple off.
(Can be seen in this vacuum diagram, solenoid C: http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...umDiagram1.jpg )
I did some research and it seems the solenoid rack is known as a rats nest. What solenoids, valves, hoses etc can be safely removed that are not required? Is this solenoid required?
Thankyou very much in advance, Paolo
