Just finished installing some parts. I installed the vent, arm rest pad, steering wheel, sunroof crank, and the K&N filter.

Did you get all the parts you got from me installed?

Thanks to ecam8000 for all the help.

I got everything on the motor back together at about 6pm last night. I tried to start the car but was having trouble getting the fuel pump to prime. Today I'm going to install the new fuel filters, shark plug wires, and muffler. I will also do the tranny mount and drive shaft if I have time.

My rebuilt injectors:

They flow well one is 692 cc/min and the other is 702 cc/min at 43.5psi.

Well, is it running yet?

The car is now running. It actually started right up this morning. I think it just needed a rest after yesterday, lol.

I replace the spark plug wires and installed battery hold down this morning. I also got the muffler replaced. The muffler was a complete nightmare. The two bolts that attached the muffler to the midpipe were completely rusted on and I had to use a cutoff wheel on them.

Next on my list is the fuel filters.

So it is ready for DD duty again?

Yup it seems to be doing good. I need to adjust the idle, mixture, and TPS a little but otherwise it seems to be doing good.

Filters? Again with the fuel filter?

Really Chris, really?

Yes I replaced the filters. I figured since I was replacing the injectors it would be a good time to replace the filters. I have one between the tank and the pump and the stock one after the pump.

The car has been running good. I seems to be getting better mileage and doesn't smoke at startup.

Fixed. You're welcome.

I worked on the car on saturday. I replaced the last coolant hose that needed replacing.

I'm very happy with onlinemazdaparts.com. They sent the wrong hose (it had the right parts number but was bagged wrong) so I called them to get it right. They sent a new one right away with a return slip for the old one, no questions asked.

I also did some more cleaning under the hood. I pulled the battery tray and painted it. I cleaned a bunch more grease off the motor.

Finally changed out that pesky coolant hose, eh? Nice dude!
