tell how bad this is ...??
 

:o: :o: :o:

yeah tell me about it,this is what i scooped out by hand in the tank.. this pile came from inside the barrier for the pump itself.

holy crap?!? looks like someone poured dirt or something in your tank, lol.

pretty much or i have a small police force inside there dumping their coffee grounds????? but most of it is cleaned out. from the sock area

any particular reason you posted this in the rtek forum? :confused:

because ive been having fuel issues.. and the symptoms were relavent to the other rtek users. i.e. take alook around this forum and u will see tons of issues and m one of them and this goes along with me having fuel issues. this topic didnt cure my problem though so must be within the program still..

please feel free to read all the other topics before chiming in.

EWwwwwwwwww. I will have to look at mine while I have the car down.

hey wankler im still haveing the light throttle 2-3k leaning out though so must be something else

boost_its_what_for_dinner - Have you done a compression check? Hate to say it, but I think mine was a sign of soon to be side seal failure. I popped my engine. 8 or so months ago i did a compression check. The front was a bit low. Lower then 90psi. I had a pretty fresh rebuild and was told to keep driving it because the apex seals may have not worn in yet. I was boosting pretty good and at some point had popped a seal. Was not noticable until I hit idle and the car was bouncing a bit.

I am convinced the 2-3k lean sign was my engine about to go. Could be wrong though. Guess I really wont know until i slap a fresh engine in it.

Try a compresssion check, let me know what you find please. I tried everything to get rid of the tick.

wankler, when it popped, were you still running the stock timing map? how much boost?

Christ I hope it's not the fucking engine.Wankler..when did you get your rebuild done?

I was runing 10-12 pounds of boost. Yes I was runing the stock timing map. I feel it has nothing to do with the RTEK.

1.5 years ago and 2-3k miles later or so. I hope it is not either. But for me, I tried everything under the fucking sun to correct my problem. When it "popped", I felt relieved in some ways. I still have 65psi on the front rotor. No completely blown.

Can you do a compression check for shits and grinns?

ill see if i can get my hands on the mazda comp. tester

i pulled the same shit outta my tank, it runs better but i still have the same problem

not me any more but i think all the problems arefuel related on my end. need to go thru all lines and filters and replace.
