Um, it is pretty easy to get to man. On my 91, it is as easy to get to as the oil filter. Just undo both clamps and pull. Easy a pie!

Ok, follow it. If it is the one I am thinking about it connects to the middle of the firewall and down to the driverside of the engine right below the oil filter, right next to the spark plugs. if that is the one just use some needle nose pliers to remove the clamps. IF THAT IS THE ONE go to a mazda dealership, the price should be around 25 bucks +/- a few for shipping. use the clamps ect.. to reinstall.

If that isn't the hose try to describe where it goes ok.

Or he could be talking about the one that goes from the top of the throttle body to the block, in which cas the upper and middle intake need to come off.

Um..

That's a bitch

You've gotta remove the intake, secondary injectors & fuel rail, throttlebody & intake plenum to get at the hose on the block.

That's also a Mazda only hose, gotta order that one. I've never seen an autoparts store with it.

ECU is under a shield in the passenger foot well under the carpet.

You can do the TB mod while you're in there, port the intake plenum, and you're a hop/skip and a jump away from pulling the lower intake plenum and putting in a set of pineapple racing 6port sleeves.

You might have a real close look at your pulsation dampner, and look for deterioation of fuel lines and vacuum lines.
