I just recieved a new one from mazdatrix for my 87, but it's a bit pricey ($170 or so i think?) You might be able to find some in a junk yard, just bring a multimeter so you can test it. I also got some fresh life out of mine by removing it and submerging it in electric parts cleaner for a few minutes while moving the plunger in and out. But it started developing dead spots a few months later, causing bucking on/off throttle, the dead spot was right past the idle/no throttle position, really annoying.

pengaru i like your quote

mine idles up and down between 1000 to 1200 or 1300 rpms during idle and it makes the car really jerky under low acceleration but suprisingly enough it goes away if u put the a/c on or the lights doesnt really matter to me

I think I've been quoted saying similar things, 3 cars (rx-7, fiero, 323) in my name yet I'm riding a bicycle to work now. Reliable cars, bah.



Actually, the 323 runs, it's just not registered, and needs a clutch.



I even broke my bicycle 2 days ago, now I'm on foot.

you might have a vacuum leak. spray some carb cleaner see if the idle gets smoother

rotary88

ill try that because u think a vacuum leak might cause the a/c vent not to open that another prob i got

vosko

what do you mean ac vent ?
