What did you do to your BG(part 8)

[Mazda_Powered]

Oh man have I been in situations like that before!! It took me 3hrs to drive about 20km, and I made it about 60ft from my house before I had to start up the snow blower and clear the road haha. The car was waaaay too low even though it had meaty snows on her...I remember I had to keep reversing up a small incline to make a left turn, but the car wouldn't turn at all and continue sliding down the incline haha...even a few times where I'd let the clutch out in 1st and push the car too!! Oh memories :/

are you using the skeleton case with the holes in the back ? should give you better audio, or just get an external mic. also tighten the thumbscrews with screwdrivers. this is turning in to what did you do with your gopro today haha

Ah some good advice. Ill have to try the skelly door out.

Didn't know they made a skeleton case, I have the waterproof jam. I usually tighten the screws with a screwdriver, but there's still enough play (had it mounted to the inside of the roof) that it was banging around pretty badly.

There is a rubber spacer that goes around the lens before you put it in the case that prevents that. Most people I know don't use it because they don't know that's what it's for.

I don't know if mine came with that.

changed spark plugs, bumped the timing up a lil bit, decreased the idle and put some oem miata lugs on the car.

edit: got a question

when i jumped the gnd and ten, the cel would flash 1 slow and 8 fast, (18) but that does not come up in any cel code that I have looked up. I counted it multiple times and i always came up with 8.

This is what i have found:

Codes:
02 Distributor Ne-signal
03 Distributor G-signal
08 Airflow Sensor
09 Coolant temp. sensor
10 Intake air temp. sensor
12 Throttle position sensor
14 Barometric pressure sensor
15 O2 sensor
17 O2 sensor has detected a rich or lean condition
25 Solenoid valve (fuel pressure regulator)
26 Solenoid valve (purge control)
34 IAC valve
41 Solenoid valve (VICS)

so maybe it was flashing 8 fast for the airflow sensor?

[MD323]

probably 10 08 since thats the codes for the VAF and the air intake sensor in it.

[93BlkOnGreenPro]

SO I need a vaf? That would kinda explain my dropping fuel mileage

[MazdaNoob]

i would check the connector to it and get out a multimeter and check as per the fsm before i change it . cel's arent always what they seem to be

[93BlkOnGreenPro]

its funny bc it pulled a cel, but the engine light has never came on since 2006.

[MazdaNoob]

yeah it can store cel's without the light . mine didnt give a light with my disty dying ( no G signal ) and it will run in a form of limp mode like that .. still no light but the code was there when i pulled them

Got a new speaker box and amp for winter beater 323. The old sub was really old and loose, the amp was a 21! year old Pryamid. LOL Got this 12" MTX box, amp and sub all on sale for $149.99 at future shop. $100 off boxing day sale.





The stereo is kinda a mixed bag of stuff that was on sale. I have Sony front speakers, Infinity rear 6X9"'s and a basic Pioneer deck. Should be plenty to pump up the jams all winter long ;-)

[93BlkOnGreenPro]

when my disty died, it just died. left me stranded. $357 dollar later, up and running.

soooooo... ideas on how to get this ****ing air meter door to stop ****ing jamming itself open?

ps if your advice is along the lines of "less boost" / "smaller turbo" / "go megasquirt" save yourself the trouble and save me the effort of typing out "go **** yourself"

[Mazda_Powered]

I'd pop the bottom plate off and clean the living **** out of it...I polished mine afterwards and I've never had it stick open on me before.
