#4 of 8 HELP, my GTX has been sitting for 2 years, and now im having problems by speeddemonchk

May 30, 2009 (4:57 pm)

My Mazda, familia, GTX has been sitting for just over two years, i started it from time to time but never drove it.. I have changed fuel pump and spark plugs..
 
When idiling after being warmed up, the idles dont sound right! Maybe timing?? Vacum Leak?? Im a female so i am really puzzled, and i dont want to waiste money i dont have! Does anyone know how to check and find vacum leaks?? I got told brake cleaner sprayed lightly around the hoses will make the cars idle rev a little... I dont understand this?? Is there any other way?? Also i got told it could be air flow sensor?? Im puzzled... And yet when i compared to my m8s hatch gtx, all my hoses and plugs are jimmied up different!
 
When i am not thrashing it and using high rev's... It surges!! But when it goes, it goes real fast! Its got a TO4 Garet turbo, GSR Chip! Yeaha i luv my baby!
 
I just want to brainstorm what could be wrong, before it got parked up ... I had no problems...
 
Any help or advise will be appreciated!

could be spark plugs or leads. or fuel pump. could be water in fuel. or worst of all electrical problems. where do you live?
