If you are able to move the valve by moving the rod, then the valve isn't stuck.

Not a bad idea.
This will eliminate the actuator itself from being the problem.

Shouldn't be necessary if you were able to move the valve by hand.
But, it'll be a good learning experience.
I took mine off just for the hell of it, and it helped me out later when I had to "un-stick" someone's SSV.

I'm thinking its not the solenoid.
The SSV has a switch that tells the PCM when the valve is open or close.
Might want to check that using the attached procedure:

 

yesterday buy the vacuum pump test it. The valve work great with out any problem and even with a little vacuum.

if the ssv switch is bad mazda sell it only switch or they sell you all the intake?

and can you make me a favor and tell me what wire go left and right in the plug because because my male plug is missing somewhere in my engine long story.here a pic how connect my wire

AHH thanks for all your helps.

 

1] I can move the SSV with my hand and with a vacuum pump
2]I check the ssv switch terminal A & B continuity when the rod above and no continuity with pushing the rod.

So that make my think is the solenoid stuck or malfunction or the PCM

Today take out the UIM and clean it but it was clean after all. Clean the trottle it was a little dirt of carbon and the ssv solenoid gave it like 4 spray of seafoam deep creep. Let see what happen my hope are not too high

But at least the code P0171 is fix it ,how? friday night clean the MAF Sensor and yesterday scan the car and the P0171 disappear well I hope so. here is my freeze frame

here is.......=s

 

WTF junior x?
Few questions about that pic:

1. What is that red spot?
2. Where is your intake duct that is usually behind the bumper?
3. That little hose is strange. Makes me think it was for the VFAD (been awhile since I've had that installed... can't recall if that was a clear tube).

Now if you don't have the air duct installed (which houses the VFAD flap), I can see why that hose is just hanging there.
But if you don't have a VFAD installed, you should cap off the nipple that connects the VFAD to the intake manifold (which is behind the throttle body).

I'll post a pic of what I'm talking about, but I'm running Windows 7 and haven't installed PhotoShop CS4 yet.
Give me a few minutes to get that installed.

 

that should be attached to the servo that activates the vdaf. you likely have a vacuum leak.

it has been a while.

beers

 

1) i dont know what red spot, i think that its the

 

or can i just cap off the hose? (more easy)

 

Behind the throttle body you'll see a vacuum hose.
Disconnect that and cap it.

 

alright, thanks (Jon316G), i will do that.....

 

mi mechanic check the wires and harness and nothing (all was fine), also he check the ssv and he told me that it was fine too.....finally he told me that the problem it would be the ECU of the car....what can i do?, i think that i will take my car to MAZDA dealer to be sure of this, also can i loose power because of a bad spark plug or a bad spark plug wire or a bad coil?.....im desperate

 

before of this problem my car was flooded, so when a rx-8 its de-flooded, do i need to change the ECU of the car or what?, the loose of power it can be because of this?

 

How do you clean the ssv solenoid? Im throwing a p0661 and it says its circuit low on 2. Is it easy to replace. are there any DIY's on this procedure or on how to replace. any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Yes you can lose power from back plugs/coils. When is the last time u changed them? Replacing the plugs/wires/coils is a must for this car, probably best to replace every 20-30k miles.

 

Replied in the thread you started:

thank god i get rid of this mother fuc%$& car!!....never found the engine problem, i was very =@!! because of the engine problem, it was a pain in the *** warming the engine at all times, it was slow, hate checking the oil at all times, and a gas eater, and much more things!!.....now im a very happy 350z owner!!.........never will buy a rx8 again

 

and my friend (another rx8 owner) its thinking about selling the car because of almost same reasons (no CEL problem tough)

 

So does this mean you're going to stay off this mother fuc%$& website
Serious man... what was your goal in writing this and junking up this thread?

 

sorry but i did not want to insult nobody (that was only my point of view about the car, also i do not write the pros about the car: love the look, love the engine sound, love the interior, and some other things)......sorry about that, but i was very angry with that car (mine especially) lol

 

I don't think anybody was insulted by what you said... I was just wondering what the point was coming on here and saying it.
But then I realized its your own thread, so I guess you can crap on it if you want and go off topic.

 

lol i read the whole thread and it was like a soap opera with the cheating husband leaving at the end. rofl!!!!
