  • My Mazda MX-5, or Miata, is back on the road after over a year of being stored in the back of a workshop. While it run, it doesn't run well, so I'll be cleaning up, fixing, and replacing parts of the intake, engine, and exhaust system. This is the first video of a couple of engine-related videos I have coming up, in which I take off the air intake system: throttle body, EGR valve, and intake manifold.
    I have a 1.6 liter, Mazda MX-5 NB. I'm fairly sure these were only sold in Europe and in Japan, while the US Miata's came with the 1.8 liter engine by default, which has a different intake manifold layout. If you have a 1.6 BZ6E engine, this video should work for you, whether you have an NA or an NB generation.

    00:35 Intake duct removal
    01:00 Throttle body removal
    02:30 Freeing up the intake manifold

    Closing notes:
    As much as I think that working on your car is both great fun and very cost-effective, any work you do on your car is at your own risk. I made a best effort to correctly state all torques, tools, etc, but double check these before you follow any of the steps shown in this video. Please work safely - I've been saved by good safety equipment more than once. Don't do stupid things - don't work under a car supported only by a jack, don't use sharp tools without protective gloves, and do get yourself a nice pair of safety goggles.

    I like your well-documented repair. Definitely one part of what I will be doing to my Miata in Spring '24 to get it started/running after sitting in garage like 6 years. Keep up the good work 👍

    Very nice video. Thank you.
    You packed a lot of information into 14.5 minutes, almost too much. So many TH-cam car mechanical videos stretch out the simplest work into a series of overly long videos. It’s refreshing to come across someone who values the viewer’s time and is doing the opposite.

      I think they are very similar but there are some differences it seems… I’ve also seen them with the EGR on the back of the engine, and with no egr indeed… I think the 1.6 wasn’t even available for the NB in the US. Love the NA, simpler is better haha, but they’re rapidly increasing in price here… Thanks for your comment!
