here's the stealth mod of the day. stock 04 washer fluid bottle modified to accept water/meth output and level sensor. it'll also still work to wash the windows!
and the best part? the AEM pump mounts perfectly behind the bottle out of sight..

Jingle Ballzzzz!
Shaun did a compression test for me last night (thanks Kev for the loan of your tester). Looking like I'm a candidate for a new engine. Rough idle, power loss, hard starts when it's hot (but not often yet). Worse since the Vegas drive after I had all those problems driving in the heat across death valley.
My numbers were a little better than Shaun's though

Power!!
That was one thing I was wondering as well. Is there a way to make sure the tester is calibrated and not just reading low? Just trying to make sure there is no doubt that U Mazda could get a "better" reading.

When the Quick-Connect fuel lines come apart many people become understandably confused on how to properly reassemble them. I have been able to reassemble connectors with seemingly unuseable red and blue lock rings. They really are not that complicated nor fragile IF one has higher-than-usual mechanical aptitude.

I am glad yall have reached that level of talent. Ya'll have worked hard for it. Congrats.
For me and the rest of the struggling shade tree, redneck want a be's I still think it is better to change out that part. Its not cheap at around $30 but it is one hell of a lot cheaper than having your motor blow or car burn. Unfortunately there are multiple examples of this happening.
Its a bad design for a high pressure fuel line.
Sorry for the thread jack OP, lets get back to the subject going on-- fire that baby up yet?

I kinda expect feast or famine. Easy's is kinda famine right. Something catastrophically wrong right out of the box. This was a motor that was strong for the last 2 years and then all the sudden went south in the last 6 months in a major way...
