hi, i am a new member, i have cleaned the ssv valve, it was stick closed, after that the ssv started to make tiking noise, if i put my finger on the valve it stops to make noise... how can i fix that?

Thankyou very much.

ps: sorry for my english, i'm italian.

 

Come one Jon316g you got this one

 

I've got this problem now. I'm replacing the actuator itself...I'm thinking there might be a small leak in the diaphragm causing the SSV to not close fully when at idle. If this doesn't fix it, looks like I'll be replacing the entire LIM.

 

LIM? Do you need parts?

Oh yeah forgot about cleaning it out. In the mazda diagram it tells you to put a shop rag on a screwdriver and clean it. I find that kinda hard

 

Thanks Team!

 

LOL... looks like TeamRX8 got it all covered
