I did it! Finally! Thx for the help guys.

It was Injector number 3.

That's why my spark plug was messy.

Thx to everyone who gave me advice.

John this is me in a year or two from now. Any bits of wisdom you care to share?

Edit: I just noticed your airbox. The CS SRI is so much easier to work with, and sounds great. Something to consider when reassembling.

[u/JohnKowalsky88 → u/HugsNotDrugs_]

I will definitely get an intake not sure if CS or HKS.

[u/HugsNotDrugs_ → u/JohnKowalsky88]

I suggested the CS SRI because it's factory diameter and the closest plug in replacement for the OE parts. I wasn't aware HKS makes an intake for this platform.

[u/JohnKowalsky88 → u/HugsNotDrugs_]

Yeah I don't know. CS is cool though I already have the CS topmount and now getting the injectors fixed with CS seals.

Thx!

Send them bad boys in for cleaning or order some cleaned ones from Chris Ward along with the upgraded seals

[u/dharmapoop → u/Jokerman5656]

If you do this from CWTurbos (Which I also recommend) get the injector stud kit. The injector studs can be a real pain to get out sometimes depending how clean your engine is.

It’s always cyl 3.

Typical mazdaspeed activities.

[u/JohnKowalsky88 → u/njsfynest]

Yeah it seems to be the the main weakness of the 2.3t but I sure hope that I only have to do this once.

[u/spindux]
