hey,

was at donington a few days ago, all was good, heard a rattle/popping from engine bay then all of a sudden it sounded like i had an induction kit on the car...:eek car drives fine, all goes properly no issues..
had a look today and can see where it has gone wrong, and it looks like the car is missing a bit (looks to me like it was a hose) but not 100% sure and don\'t know what it is i need to replace (order)..

car is an 88 egi..
can anyone tell me what the missing bit is and what its called so i can head to mazda to get a new one or whatever! also if it is a hose, does anyone know why this would just pop off???

( you should be able to spot the issue looking at the pic, can circle the point if need be )
cheers

no idea to be honest - it looks like the hose has come off

or are both ends metal ?

Doesnt that hose feed direct from the air pump? Should be a case of refitting the hose and finding the clip

both ends are metal, looks like a hose came off to me but i cant be sure, and to get the right replacement need to know for sure lol,

on a side note i\'m part of the mk1club (mr2s) and kirsty said she knew you, took an fc for ya down to jae i think, sound about right? i was like say waaat

Brett · July 12, 2007, 03:34:25 PM

She certainly did :yes :Thumbs-up

mosguido · July 12, 2007, 03:34:37 PM

im pretty sure it came from the air pump, then the other bit goes into the exhaust manifold ( i think)... any idea what the hose is called and what clip lol, neither are anywhere to be seen...

mosguido · July 12, 2007, 03:36:10 PM

yeah she said she loved the car, just not the amount of gas it used... her s/c can\'t be much better on gas though :evillaugh

Thats the feed into the ACV - it injects air into the system at various stages to create afterburn and thusly reduce the emissions - with that hose off you wont be passing an MOT :yes

i cant see how such a small hose came off

?

and Kirsty - im sure she came down to the north west meet once - didnt get to speak to her though

mosguido · July 12, 2007, 04:25:22 PM

ahh emissions goodness, heh, is it just a simple hose then or has it got some gubbins inside there it needs..don\'t want to have to go through mazda prices to get one before next sat (going to france)
i cant see how it could have come off either? my clutch pedal felt quite spongey the second i heard the noise change but aside from that nothing else happened.

best thing - is to find someone with a EGI and see if they can get a photo of the same thing ??

mosguido · July 12, 2007, 04:26:54 PM

does anyone have any pics of what its supposed to look like there btw?

cheers for all ya replies so far too

mosguido · July 12, 2007, 04:27:38 PM

d\'oh posted at the same time lol
anyone here have an egi?!

mosguido · July 14, 2007, 06:46:56 PM

still been looking around ALL over for pics of this but cannot find anything anywhere. have scoured all forms of service manual for this also, only thing i can find that looks even remotely similar to it is called an \'air chamber\' ? does that sound right?

please if anyone has an egi could they go an take a quick pic of this part of the engine and post it up? (or any other engine if it has similar bits).

cheers

There is suppose to be a piece of rubber pipe about 2" long that connects those two metal pipes.The pipe delivers air to the thermal reactor to cool it.
