Well, I just bought this car tonight, it runs fine, it idles very... awkwardly. It revs high, and then it cuts out.. then it revs high again. repeat this process. I dont know whats wrong with it. Any ideas?
Also, when I accel, the rear end ( or at least I think its the rear end ) clunks real hard. Am I right? Anyways.. Thanks for the help! ~matt |

Thanks for the help! ~matt http://www.mazdatrix.com/pictures/b-engprt/bpav.jpg The clunking is your front differential case mount. You have two round ones on top and one odd shape one on the bottom, the bottom one will be near whare the driveshaft connects. You hear it clunk on and off the gass. http://members.aol.com/solomiata/RX7pinion.jpg It's a good place to start anyhow, also check for any other vacuum leaks under the hook. |

I think we bought the same car, Make sure all the hoses to your By-Pass Air Valve is connected and the plug with the two wires are pluged in. http://www.mazdatrix.com/pictures/b-engprt/bpav.jpg The clunking is your front differential case mount.

Are amazing.thank you very much for your help. |
I do what I can.

So it needs to be replaced, yea? Where can I get new mounts and how much are they?
I have a similar issue, but I thought it was the transmission mount. |

I just went to the dealer, the mount was around $95. Mazdatrix sells a stiffer one for a little more money, but i perfer to stay with factory direct replacement parts for that stuff. Or get lucky and find a somewhat good one in a salvage yard. Wait, I'm confused. I thought there was 3 total? Two on top and one on bottom? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.gif |
The two round ones rearley go bad, the front one that actually hold the diff down is what you have to worry about.

Yeah, i just bought one infact, correct two round ones near the back that rarely go bad and the one up front that tears appart. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...0336&rd=1,1
