What did you do to your BG(part 8)

[MazdaNoob]

02 is my WB .. i'll be calibrating it tomorrow after work

That's how mine was for a while then it started giving me the opposite as you, super lean idle so I disconnected it and It's been fine ever since ang got better MPGs

Got the wagon running
Now I'm running pig rich at idle though. Like 7.7-8 rich with a bit of a hunting idle. ( when warmed up).

N/A bp
N/A harness
4wire tps
Bp26 ecu
Running recirc
Vj20



Any ideas where to start looking?

I'd look into the TPS. I had issues with my tps and it would run super rich no matter what.

yep I'm suffering from the manual belt gaps too lol, need to find some half decent adhesive then I can re-do the headliner and fill the gaps haha...just not sure how the sun visors and sunroof cover will be executed :/

New rear brake pads yesterday. I had done them last year, but the inside pads were down to metal again. I took the calipers apart, and removed all the corrosion from the pins. Then polished them to a mirror finish. I filed down the casting where the inserts go, just to remove corrosion, and have them perfectly true. Lubed it all up, and everything seems to be sliding very nicely now. If this doesn't work, I'll just buy new calipers.

Installed an rx7 fuel pump, a fair difference in size

think my o2 sensor is bad tried to calibrate and it just keeps flashing
disconnected it from ecu and it seems my idle has smoothed out but without seeing my afr' s wtfk's

Did you remove it from the exhaust to calibrate? I think I have the same one, it's been giving me trouble the last few days, turns off randomly, then shows 7.4 for a few seconds, then reads again. I run a separate O2 sensor for the ecu though, so drivability isn't affected.

Innovate lc1. Yeah free air calibration.

I'm going to try a dell heater calibrate + free air again once I can touch it.

Just get someone in the states to buy it and ship it to you. Throw them a few bucks for the effort, and you're still ahead.

I just got home with my BG, noticed my exhaust was sounding really horrible as I rounded the last few bends. Checked for leaks, and found my manifold leaking... Again.

No, the welds aren't broken again, but either the manifold studs have backed out of the head, or the nuts came loose. This is twice now. The first time I just figured I forgot to torque them properly, but this time I know with 100% certainty they were proper tight.

When I installed them, I slathered on a good layer of anti seize compound, as they tend to get rusty. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm thinking I should just take off the nuts and add a lock washer. I should have checked if it was the studs themselves, or just the nuts. Didn't think of it at the time, just wanted the leak to stop.

Tightened up a loose Bumper bolt yesterday, hahahaha. Really wishing I was home to make some things happen!
