No ports or anything. I just wasn't sure what mazda uses to rebuild. And I didn't think it was worth the risk. I called NUCAR mazda where I bought it and they had no idea and noone that they could send me to to find out

First try it with the short range TPS unplugged. If it's better then that's your problem. It could also be that the AFM is a little loose.

my car did the bucking when i was gogin really slow and the rpms where down low like 1g. When i always pulled into me garage or alleys it would do it. But never going above 5 miles per hour. I got an racing beat engine torque brace and it whent away. it feels like drving a bob-cat going really slow.

13bace.....I will try that tommorrow. The only thing it will take awhile to see if it worked cause it doesn't happen all the time. It is sporatic.



I am not sure if I want to run the cleaner through the engine. Don't know if that is good for rotaries or not.



1Revvin.....I am going to get the torque brace anyway. After I pay for the springs, sway bars and links I just bought from them...



Thanks for your help everyone.....My goal is to get it running, driving better then it did in 1990....so hopefully it'll work out

Try the easy things first. You may also want to check the timing too. One time my CAS wasn't tightened well and it was moving while I was driving. :wow:

Sounds like a good way to blow your engine. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Luckily I didn't go fast, and it wasn't my car.
