haha,. thats how you get peoples attention

Paimon, you could have a leak at the SSV gasket but that would be very rare. Are you buy chance driving in rain?

Nope, no rain yet, just cold.

SSV gasket ... would that be gasket at the center 2 ports on the UIM (big oval gaskets)? If so, i suppose it is possible since I have removed my UIM twice before. But, I have sprayed that area quite liberally with MAF cleaner to no change in the trims.

There is a gasket at the actual SSV. It sounds dumb but is your filter clean?

Yup, filter cleaned w/ the K&N cleaner (dryflow) a week ago. MAF is brand new (just replaced it with a brand new one, Delphi, to diagnose). Intake piping is as straight as can be. Worm gears nice and tight. Honeycomb straightener.

Hmmmm, when is the last time you reset the sensor profiles.

oh also, this is going to sound real freaking dumb... but i was doing the hilbilly smoke test with a cigar to see if i can pinpoint a leak ... shitty cigar so it didn't smoke too well. Anyway, I used the brake booster line to puff smoke....

Blowing into the booster line I could hear a hissing coming from around the TB area. Now ... this could be completely normal, but just curious if someone is bored and wants to go test that out for me and try the same and let me know if they hear hissing.

My assumption was just the air bouncing around the UIM

edit.... spraying around the tb did nothing, so that is why i lean towards "normal"

Did a full trim reset (battery DC, brake stomp, [per s2 procedure]) after my maf replacement. (2 days ago)

Hmmmmm. Yeah well the TB is not air tight so that makes sense, you need to cap the TB and then try blowing smoke into it or making a leak tester like this:

RX-8 Hymee Supercharger Install - Smoke Tester

Yea i wanted to make sure there were no leaks around the TB gasket too, but I did block off the first intake pipe to the TB so that smoke didn't escape there.

Random food for thought from a thread that OD had:

"1- on the S2 model the ssv is activated whenever the secondary fuel injectors are activated, they are not rpm/load activated like the S1."

hmmm hissing noise around the throttle, I know on the S1 there is a nipple for Vfad kinda under and back behind the throttle body on the UIM.

Yup same with the s2, I have that capped.

So if the intake was capped and you heard hissing near the TB then you have a leak somewhere.

K so suggestions on where to look while I am in there?

= Vac lines on intake (checked already, will check again)
= Check valve on UIM (already checked that, will check again)
= UIM Intake ports (large circle in the middle, 2 ovals at the top to the SSV)
= Solenoid behind the alternator that connects to the UIM (OEM catch can solenoid i think?

Purge valve, and yeah that could be a leak source as well. I have seen some seriously small leaks man, so listen carefully or use smoke.

the purge valve is my nemesis

niceee thanks buddy

The pipe dent was likely caused by over tightening the hose joint clamp

Has anyone had to replace the engine wiring harness?

I was told I need to and it costs about $4K....

I am considering trading in for a 3 if that's true. :crying:

Update: Probably going to buy a CPO 2012 3 but keep the 8 too.

I doubt it is the harness, what kind of problems are you having? A 2012 what?

Oh,

I was getting several CELs and then she died on me.... Before that power steering was locking up as well. I decided to trade it instead of fix it. 2013 Mazda3 Sport SkyActiv MT6. This is my 3rd Mazda now... And I like what I see with the SkyActiv 3 so far.

Gonna miss the SARX group... But I likely will not be getting another 8. An RX-9 when/if it comes out is possible....

Hey guys, a few of us are meeting for cars and coffee tomorrow morning if anyone wants go join. I will be there are 0830 if you need any info shoot me a PM.

grab video of shenanigans...

I was just thinking about this. I might have to go again this year.

Anyone know anthing about the '10 GT for sale at North Park Corner Lot? Would anyone feel like driving by and checking it out for me (Im in Denver). There are several 8's I am looking at, just want to get the best one for my money since I have to fly out and drive it back.

You can PM jzamarripa, he works there as a tech.

Nice, thanks for the info, I will PM him.

I have persuaded the other half to come over next year for our vacation. Her only condition is she wants some pink cowboy boots.

That can be taken care of easily :)

Anyone doing the WHiV 7 this year?

Nope, I want to plan for next year though. Too many trips this year.

Gents,

I have a custom LS2 ignition set-up for sale.

Kit comes with all 4 LS2 coils, mounting plate, harness, ground cable and 2 sets of custom ordered plug wires.

**Disclaimer** - I belive the kit has one bad coil in the set-up. the coils are very inexpensive (less than $20.00) but I just never got around to testing to find out which one is bad. Other than that, the kit is sound. This is the reason I am selling so cheap. I paid $350.00 for the kit last year.

I will take all the pictures you want. Just e-mail me @ jewagr007@gmail.com or feel free to call me @ (985) 856-8085. I will answer any questions you have.

I forgot this place existed. I've been more active on FB lately

:lol: We are all on the FB page now.

Where can I find a rotary mechanic in San Antonio capable of doing a rebuild/replacement on an 89 NA?

message me at amegason@gmail.com or look us up on Facebook Sarxgroup....id be glad to send you a price sheet

:)

Crashed! Freeloader freeloadin' up the place!!!
