2004-2007 Mazda RX-8 ENGINE CRANKS NO START Service Bulletin

Some vehicles may experience difficulty starting (cranks no start). This may occur after driving the vehicle a short distance without engine reaching normal operating temperature. Examples: starting a vehicle and moving it to wash it, engine stall due to mis-application of clutch then restart. This commonly occurs at port facilities or dealer lots where vehicles are frequently started cold, moved for short distances and then turned off. This concern may also occur due to low cranking RPM during engine starting.

A cranks, no start condition may be caused by fuel flooding resulting in either fouled spark plugs or lower than normal compression. Carefully follow REPAIR PROCEDURE “A” and refer to VIN application to determine necessary repair action.

NOTE:
• After repairs, provide customers with CUSTOMER INFORMATION on the last page of this bulletin (for customers to try after a “CRANKS, NO START” condition, before towing to dealership).

Connecting Rod
1. Install one piston pin clip into the clip groove in the piston.
2. Assemble the piston and the connecting rod, a ligning the oil groove in the large end of connecting rod opposite the “F” mark on the piston.
3. Apply clean engine oil to the piston pin.
4. Install the piston pin from the side opposite the clip.
5. Tap the piston pin in with the SST until the pin contacts the clip. If the pin cannot be installed easily, replace the connecting rod.
6. Install the second clip into the clip groove in the piston.
7. Check the oscillation torque of the connecting rod. If the large end does not drop by its own weight, replace the piston and/or piston pin.

Piston Ring
1. Install the three-piece oil rings on the pistons.
(1) Apply clean engine oil to the oil ring spacer and rails.
(2) Install the oil ring spacer with the ends upward.
Note
The upper rail and lower rail are the same.
1. The rails may be installed with either face upward. (3) Install the upper rail and lower rail.
2. Verify that both rails are expanded by the spacer tangs as shown in the figure by making certain the rails turn smoothly in both directions.

TWM Performance Short Shift Kit 2003 and up Mazda 6 Installation Manual

Installation of this product requires the stock shifter to be cut, and re-installation of the stock shifter requires welding. It’s preferable to park on a flat surface, as you will have to engage and disengage the hand brake and shift from gears to neutral. If you can’t do so and are obliged to install the short shifter on a slightly inclined surface, place wooden blocks in front or behind the wheels to prevent the car from moving while you’re working.

Tools required:
- Flat screw driver (small and large)
- Philips head screw driver
- Flash light
- Needle nose
- 10 mm socket and 10 mm wrench
- 12 mm deep socket
- All purpose grease
- Hack saw
- 5 mm or 3/16 Allen key

1. Carefully unscrew the shift knob by rotating it counter-clockwise.
2. Take the inside of the shift boot and grab the cup holder beside the handbrake and gently pull on it until it unclips. Don’t try to get the two parts apart or you may break them.
3. Locate the plastic caps on each side of the central console in front of the front seats. Remove them by lightly inserting a little flat screw driver and prying the cap off. Take the cross screws out with the appropriate screw driver and keep them in a safe place. You will need them for re-installation. TWM Performance suggests using your empty ashtray to store the removed hardware during installation.

Mazda RX-7 Turbo Timer Installation

This document details the installation of my GReddy Turbo Timer, and also gives a brief set of instructions that explains how the device is used (since the instructions are in Japanese.)

Tools Necessary:
• Phillips Screwdriver
• 10 mm socket wrench
• Coat Hanger - Only if installing Parking Brake security
• Electrical Tape
• Nylon cable-ties
• GReddy Turbo Timer (Surprise!)
• Bracket and wire-splicers provided with Turbo Timer
• Turbo Timer Wiring Harness (specific to RX-7) - Optional

Background:
After having to sit through idle down periods for more than a year, I decided that it was time to get a Turbo Timer. The idea behind a Turbo Timer is that after hard driving, or other conditions under which the turbo is active, the turbos (predictably enough) get very, very hot. If the engine is shut down under these circumstances, the engine oil stops circulating, and the oil in the turbo bearings ‘cokes,’ shortening the life of the bearing (basically, the oil sits in the bearings, cooks, and turns to gritty sludge.)

Leaving the engine sit at idle for a minute or so after the car’s shut off allows the engine to circulate through the bearings enough to cool them down to sub-fusion temperatures, preventing (or at least reducing) bearing wear.

Unfortunately, it’s often a big pain in the butt to sit in the car for a couple of minutes after a session of driving. Thus, the good people of HKS and GReddy have invented “Turbo Timers” which idle your engine for a specific amount of time after you remove the key from the ignition, allowing you to leave the car, while the engine idles for a while, and then shuts off.

I select the GReddy device instead of the HKS device because the GReddy unit is significantly cheaper, and the HKS device has features which I probably will never use (stopwatch, etc.)

RX-7 Logicon Repair/Replacement

Symptoms:
• Ducts do not redirect airflow when different positions are selected (i.e. Defrost, Flow towards feet, Flow towards face etc.)
• Fan does not respond to fan-speed control, or full range of speeds not available.
• Temperature slider does not adjust the mixture of warm/cold air

Solution: Resolder ‘cold’ solder joints within modules/replace parts

Tools Necessary:
• Phillips Screwdriver
• Soldering iron
• Flathead screwdriver or thin prying device

Background:
Many cars develop this problem with age. For some reason, the electronic components in the early second generation cars leave much to be desired. My car developed these symptoms slowly. Originally, the buttons would not respond immediately to button presses, necessitating either a ride over a bump on the road, or a tap to the faceplate of the logicon to engage my actual vent selection.

Eventually, the vent selector stopped working entirely. This was fine for most cases (it happened to stick in my preferred position, the ‘face’ position) but was a major problem when the windows started to fog up. So, I ended up doing the resolder job listed below.

After a while, the temperature potentiometer went south on me, as well. I ended up buying another logicon from a junkyard, and installing it as listed below. Note: It’s been mentioned to me that the symptoms of a bad logicon are almost completely indistinguishable from a bad airmix motor, which also likes to fail on these cars. If following these procedures does not help your cause, the problem could either be that you have actual component failure on the logicon PCB, or your airmix motor has gone to the great scrapyard in the sky.) Mazda likes to replace both of these when a problem arises, costing the poor consumer a huge amount of money (they like $500 for the logicon, $200 for the air-mix motor…plus labor!)
So, my recommendation to you is, try the following! It’s really not that hard, and could save you quite a bit of cash!
