I have searched!!!

there are not many ssv threads at all.
and the only reason i am posting is because i read that the ssv
only opens around 5-7k rpm? and it woulf feel sluggish if it didnt.

Well once my car hits 5k it rockets. and i can let off the gas and floor it and response is right away.

My problem is take off's my car struggles to get over 3k.
around 25mph, then once it does it's fine.

so now starting to think i may have bad coils?
they were last changed 30k ago when reman engine installed?

 

Just checked coils. They all have the white burn marks,

On another note, WTF Is wrong with mazda trying to charge 900 for coil job?
i read it was easy diy, but did not no it was this easy.

 

White marks don't mean ****. Search.

 

I know you read where I said to change the coils/plugs soon and often in the SARX thread. JESUS CHRIST

 

Yea there is hardly any info on the SSV....

Well the 1 sticky thread by nycgps or whatever clearly states if your coils have white burn marks,
they are on there way out.

So feel free to correct him.

 

You know what your right, replace your coils and plugs.

 

Just incase you want to read more

 

Hmm.

Thank's well i will replace them to see if that fixes my problem.
i cleaned maf sensor, throttle body, took off upper intake ssv is not stuck it's shiny as hell.
not a lick of carbon on it or any were.

so i think after coils, if problem persists my motor is trash after all.
Will get a compression test done tomorrow.

 

From your description, I could have told you the SSV was fine. It was like saying I am running on sharp glass and it doesn't hurt, but I want to check if my shoes are on.

 

Exactly, and it specifically states that in the factory service manual as well (or TSB, can't remember which). The coils needed to actually tested to confirm they are bad. But honestly for the price of factory coils I always just replaced them prior to going with the BHR kit.
