Caribean Rx-8,..Need help,.. S.O.S !!

Hello Sirs,..
I live in the Caribean island of CURACAO, and down here we dont get any support for anything that has an Rotary- Engine from the so called Mazda dealer. They have a policy: If we didn't import it,.we will not fix it !!
And nearly all rx8 on the Island are imported from Miami.
Mine was imported with very light front damaged,..Car is fixed,..painted,.but
my only problem is that wire that plugs into the Oil=metering Pump is cut !!
no plugs,...I only have wires on the engine harness side,...and wires on the Oil-metering side. And you can guess it,... they dont have matching colours !!

On the engine harness side I have "6"-Wires : 2x White/Red stripe
1x Full Red
1x Black/White Stripe
1x Full Black
1x Light Blue/Yellow

On Oil-metering pump side I have "5"-Wires : 2x Brown
1x Full Red
1x Yellow
1x Light Blue.
Now if someone can help me with this, or send me an Rx8 wiring diagram,
I wil appreciate it very much. Every day wife keeps reminding me that we
should have bought an Kia Sportage !!
I just want to fix my dream car, put some Bob marley music, a beer and drive my rotary and escape.

Checkout my Island : www.curacao.com
Thanx, Rafa.

Start here.

Send me a PM with your E-mail address and I'll send you all kinds of good info you can keep and use. If not that, then do some searches related to online manuals.
Everytime I run across a site, I either bookmark it or download the info if possible.


Oh yeah...............can I stay on the couch, so I can go diving?

My car is an 6-speed , 2004, High-power 13B.
And if youre visiting the Island,..check out our floating bridge,..connecting two side's of the Island together. Nice place for diving, beautiful beaches, buying parfum,Curacao-Liquor and lots of Casino's.

Go to youtube and search: Rafael willems mazda rx7 and see what we do with cars here on the Island,..that was my rx7 still alive before the next owner total it !!
Thanx.
