Recently purchased a 1994 Mazda B3000. Not driven a lot last couple years. Had a hard lifter tick when cold, but once it warmed up, that disappeared. Ran ok, but lacked power.
So, I replaced the following:
MAF Sensor
Throttle position Sensor
Idle Air Control Valve
Disconnected the battery for the whole process. (Over 30 minutes to reset computer).
Now when started cold, RPM jumps to 3100 for a while (scares me). Still ticks, not hard/loud like before, higher/milder tick. As soon as RPM drops to normal, tick is gone. I know its not a carb, but if i tap the gas after a 30-40 seconds, the RPM's drop to 700-800. Nice and smooth running, no ticks. Still lacks power above 45 MPH. Bringing in for tune up, but can't get it seen for a few weeks yet.
I'm wondering if I missed something special I should have done installing those 3 items. Throttle cable is smooth, no sticking.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you !!
