Thanks Karl for your 20 cents worth, now we have just a few more help lines that need to be to be answered concerning my anti-smog controlled car. Can I block off the Air control,andleave the wires unpluged ??? And can I also throw out the Bypass air valve ??? If any one cares enouigh to answer my silly @$$ questions, maybe we could just simplify (my) life and tell me " exactly" what to make this girl run again, and what do I send to the land fill...and lets try not to get too SCCA legalistic !!! Thanks guys (or really cool mechanically inclined chicks that did some lets make our boy friend's Mazda "not" run tricks ) for all the input ! Rick
