Do you have an O2 sensor, and meter?
I have Tracy's air fuel gauge. Not sure quite how to interpret it yet.
I'd go through the procedure of reloading the default calibrations, and go
from there.
Reading the manual again tonight
The surging is just a mixture tuning issue, you'll fix that soon enough.
thanks. Makes sense.
Did your engine rebuilder install a high pressure oil relief valve?
I don't know. He's long gone. How would I find out?
get a better gauge
I did. An expensive westach quad. It reads 90psi before I start the engine.
:(
place your hand on the radiator tanks. It will be noticeably hotter from
the bottom up to where ever the coolant level is.
It has been totally cold after every short run.
I presume you are using a stock Mazda Thermostat
Yes
The engine cycling like that makes me thing of a "lean surge"
Sounds reasonable. I'm using 4 of the purple 550 injectors. Hopefully
programming will solve this one.
Regarding the oil pressure - are you certain that you have the oil filter
rigged properly?
Hmmm. I'm not sure. I got guidance from a local Mazda guy on this issue.
Maybe he told me wrong. How would I know?
Where is your oil pressure sensor located?
in the aluminum pad where my oil filter used to be. I now have a remote
filer mounted on the redrive plate fed from the same pad.
I presume you have the stock oil pressure
regulator and not one of the high pressure racing ones.
I hope this is something internal to the engine. I never heard anything
about an oil pressure regulator.
Thanks for the ideas guys. Please keep em coming. I feel like a blind man
trying to run though the woods at night. I keep bumping into trees. Ouch.
Does everyone go through this, or is it just me?
