Engine problems

[BlitzBoy]

check for boost leaks anyways as this would/could cause the 2nd turbo not to come on line.
I see you are from the Isle of Wight, Reworx are nearby in Portsmouth so if you cant find the fault in the end they are very good garage to take your rotary to

yeh i have sent geff an email already, its just a pain to get it over there as the tax has now run out and also the ferry\'s a stupidly expensive, oh how i wish there was a bridge lol

i wanna keep trying things before i take it to someone. i really want to know some more test\'s to do to find out if its a tip gone or something

[BlitzBoy]

you can check for a tip problem if yyou have a boost gauge, if at idle the needle goes up and down quite a bit in vacuum then most likely a tip.
No from your symptoms sounds like aboost leak or a fuelling issue

[Jeffers_21]

yeh my boost guage is nice and steady at idle.

[BlitzBoy]

good news well you dont have tip damage so you can rule out an engine problem,when I popped my engine the engine could hardly pull any vacuum at idel the boost gauge would go up and down like a good un, yep its either solenoid,fuel or electrical problem

My side seal going showed no vacuum fluctuation at idle, either on the boost gauge or PFC.

The only way to really know is to take it to an expert, you can spend lots of time and money as I did, trying to diagnose and treat the symptoms.

what other symptoms did you have?

Hi, its Ben from lindop motorsport, were currently doing free compression test\'s for this month and next if any one wants to pop down for a test,we can also do a print out for you to prove your engines health (also available in graph form) we are located in the chester area, opening times are 8:30 till 5:30

[Jeffers_21]

i would take you up on the offer ben, but its a little far for me to pop over lol. i find it hard to get off the isle of wight at the best of times

[Jeffers_21]

ive got a further with this today. ive checked the spark from my coil packs and the trailing on the 1st rotor seams to be very weak and a bit erratic. so im almsot postive this is my problem.
 
so bring me to my next question where can i get a set of coil pack\'s, i want to do all of them just so i know they have been done.
 
ive only manged to find the leading pack at the mo not the trailing ones

[FDAsh]

what other symptoms did you have?

BIG flatspot on WOT, fluttering noise on boost, otherwise normal. Sparks burning clean as usual.

[Jeffers_21]

overall it seams like it has less power not as responsive but not actull flat spots, and no fluttering noise\'s. but like i said im pretty sure its that ignition coil. fingers crossed. i just need to find someone that sells the dam things lol

[Jeffers_21]

im really having issue\'s trying to find these sodding coil packs, someone must have got new one\'s before from somehwere?

You can always get new ones from mazda but its always pricey and you have to wait for them to pitch up from Japan. Best thing you can do is get a 2nd hand set to diagnose the problem. RX motors are always good for parts mate or find someone breaking a Rex on e bizzle! lol
