Clogged cat = new cat, magnaflow CARB $300
Old O2 sesnor = new O2 sensor today (have not retested yet) $155
......the reason I waited on the O2 sensor is my wideband says 14.8 and looks pretty solid so I thought the stock one was working...updates tomorrow.
PCV valve = Mazda 323 Turbo PCV valve - brass, brand new (weeks old)
Dirty Injectors...yes, could be true, these sat on a shelf for two years while i have been runing the 460 RX7 injectors....i just put them in to go to the smoggy guy....darn
leaking vacuum lines= no leaking vacuum lines...i have a near perfect 22inches on two gauges.
AFM = good idea, wrong car :-( My AFM is a MAF....all electronic and stuff. I wonder if I put it in backwards...i should check.
SeaFoam, Acetone, SMOG CHECK GTP, IPA......bla bla bla,.....that shtuff should be clean by now.

thanks for the ideas though......will let you know what happens at tomorrows goround.

--------
VTEC, all the turbo lag without the bothersome boost.

New O2 sensor = no help

does anybody have a GOOD set of tan top 1.8L injectors I can borrow for a week?
