Title: I broke something and dont know what it does!
Post by: Dempo on January 10, 2011, 09:33:31 PM
Have a couple of questions here.
Was trying to find out what injectors i have and while taking off the inlet mani and hoses, i broke this green part (arrow pointing to it i picture) What does this do. Its a vacuum hose i take it and i think its a one way valve! Its broke now  :o  so im looking for a replacement part if anybody has one could you please let me know.

Next off its a longshot but my secondary injectors (thats all i got to tonight) have a red tip when you take the connector off so does anyone know if these are a standard set of injectors or aftermarket? Didnt have the multimeter home with us so will find out a bit more info tomorrow on them.
Cheers

Yes your right its a one way valve, you can simply link the pipes together for now and will be well,

Rather than mess about getting the Mazda part some people have even popped into their local pet shop that sells aquarium parts and brought a fish tank non return valve instead,

It\'s a good while since I had all that stuff, but I /think/ that may be the double throttle pipework - just means that now you can floor it when the engine\'s cold. If you\'re a muppet!

I have some spare vitton 1 way valves. Apparently they withstand the heat better than the stock parts but I cannot confirm this as I have only been running mine for 4 or so months. If you want some for a small fee, drop us an email.

as a temp fix you can sometimes sucessfully superglue the valve back together, whilst waiting for the viton ones to arrive
