MX-3.com

I have a similar problem. I wandered if it was worn engine mounts causing the engine and tranny to be off set and binding the cv's.

could be a feul filter. I've just had to relearn the hard way to check and recheck the simplest things...

lol

as pretty much proven already by previous replies.

The probe would be "faster" in terms of top-speed because of its taller wheel/tire combo.

The MX would accelerate quicker b/c of its lighter weight & shorter overall gearing (in combination with the smaller wheel/tire combo).

Overall the MX3 ...

yeah i found the problem. and thank you all again

I found the problem. The stupidest of things to overlook. plug wires were faulty. I bought another set. Apparently while I was tring to install the cone filter, I first took the box out and didn't plug the maf back in (yet another stupid mistake) and i thought that I did something wrong with ...

heres another one i couldnt find. Anyone have the problem that if you take the oil fill cap off while the car is ruinning, the car dies?

got another question that has prolly been answered in these forums but I couldn't find it. Has anyone had there stock mx-3 (k8 i think) block taken to a machine shop (or done it them selves) and bored the cylinders out? If so, what to? Any hp gain out of it? etc...

does the car give codes even when the engine light doesnt ever flash except when the key is turned on for a few secs?

I promise as soon as i figure out the problem, I'll be posting just in case anyone is hanging or has the same problem. This site is going to open up lots of new doors for me. hell, I'm thinking of getting a second job to fund doing the stuff to my car like what you guys are doing. Im tired of ...

lol no. At this point, im part swapping. Though, I pulled individual plug wires loose with the engine running and noticed huge differences in idle with the exception of one with only a slight difference in idle. As I looked to see if spark was getting thru the end of the wire and it was. I bought ...

I was thinking of getting nology wires. I know they have a lifetime warranty, but other than that, do you guys think this is a nice functional upgrade?

Thanks, you were right. It wasnt the plugs. but in checking them out, I understood my symptom better. Seems the power loss thing happens only after the engine reaches operating temp. I'll seach the forums for answers.

I believe its a k8. The only numbers ive found were on my throttle body. Im pretty sure the car is stock mx-3 gs v6.

Im curious as to what you are doing with the prop rod when you close your hood. Are you leaving the factory air intake thing on there or fabricating a different thing to clip to or just letting the prop rod dangle.
