Hi all,

Just returned car to stock after getting defected. (well everything except the exhaust)

Removed the FMIC and put the SMIC on

Removed the pod filter and put the stock airbox in

Removed the PowerFC and put the stock ECU in

Removed the Z32 and put the stock AFM in

No longer have BoV, just the stock one.

I start the car and it seems to idle funny and is blowing black smoke, does anyone know what could of caused my car to suddenly start blowing black smoke on idle?

I am at a loss.

Matt

a. did you rewire the plug properly when changing back to standard afm?

b. did the wires on the afm touch while doing the rewire? as a short circuit between them can blow a main engine control fuse which makes it run like shit

c. do you have standard injectors? because aftermarket injectors on the standrd ecu will also cause this

d. did you check the hoses, joiners etc for cracks and tighten all hoseclamps properly as vacumn leak can also cause this

a. the plug for the standard AFM was never removed, the plug + wiring was spliced off the original one (if that makes sense, it was done by an auto electritian) however there was a 4th wire added, which is an earth, which i currently have earthed? should i just unearth it and put tape or something over it and see if it works?

b. see above.

c. i am pretty sure i have standard injectors, i've only had the ecu + afm in the car for 2 weeks, injectors have not been touched during this time

d. all the hoses are tight and the clamps are also done up tight.

Do you think i should check my fuse box and see if i have had a short?

running rich, i guess leave it until you get it off defect and put everything you had back on it.

It is a factory stock standard ECU, how would i reset it?

easy to reset the ecu. pull the negative terminal from your battery over night (couple of hours should be fine)

then start up your car wen you have wired it up in the morning and let it idle for 10mins. dont press accelerator at all.

Hey guys,

I went to try your suggestion this morning however it now the car will not start.

I hear the starter motor winding, and the car is trying to get ignition, it kind of half gets the ignition but then dies and just keeps winding. I suspected maybe my engine was flooded so i pulled out the sparkplugs and sure enough they were completely black and covered in carbon, i cleaned them off.

I have been doing some reading in other threads etc, if my engine is indeed flooded, i'm sure by now it would of been with all that trying to start it. Should i put everything back together, re-seat all of my intercooler piping (making sure the insides are all clean before i do so) then try and start it with a WOT? From what i have read this will burn up all excess fuel in the engine.

Then let the car idle for 10mins (battery has been disconnected for like 8 hours or so).

Am i missing anything from this plan of attack?

I do greatly appreciate all your help.

PS: I think i found the original problem though, it was one of the seals connected directly to the SMIC, it didn't appear to be fastened properly :)

did the seal fix your problem? to me i dont think it would, it wont cause overfueling, it will just give you a boost leak

Hey, Just posting an update, took the sparks out, cleaned them and put them back in, cleaned all the seals and piping for the smic, however i think i have my vacuum hoses in the wrong spot, the one i have marked with yellow on the pictures below looks wrong.

If anyone knows what hoses i shhould change based on the pics below it would be greatly appreciated.

Sweet, what about the thing the line i have marked in yellow, what are the things it connects to on both ends called?

- The thing down next to the Left Headlight

- The other end, and what is supposed to go into the other end? It is just connected to a tube with no further connection at the moment.

With regards to the Tee's i dont know why they are there, i guess they were used by a previous owner for an aftermarket boost gauge or something, they have been there this whole time and the car ran like a dream, until the defect and i pulled it all apart lol

    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
    • If I drove to a typical petrol station, what would my choices of fuel be? 
    • Just cut the bottom of the guard out. It's no longer got a big duct, to a sealed box, or a restriction. It has all the cold air from outside. Also, that cai you showed looks terrible. Bends are NOT good for go gos!
    • Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 🤔
