Re: [WTB] mx-3 spoiler
Maybe it's cheaper from Canada? I have a red 93 GS spoiler just chilling in my storage shed, same style as Mx-3Luxembourg posted. It was scratched when it got removed for the MazdaSpeed spoiler, but aside from that it's good to go. Check out how much it is for shipping and then we can work out a ...

Re: mod to replace distributions
Is there somewhere this mod is explained like a how-to? Reliability mods are awesome

Re: CEL Comes on then Off
I'm not kidding you...it was a 900$ bill. I almost had a heart attack. Needless to say I'm NEVER going there again to have any work done on the MX

CEL Comes on then Off
Hey guys, I have this weird thing going on in my MX, the CEL is usually off now, but sometimes (and I can't base it on anything specific, like it only comes on when I'm doing this speed for so long or w.e) it comes on, and then a little while later it'll turn off by itself. I TEN and GRD the ...

Re: klze not running well.. sputtering and popping under thr
This is the little guy I been talking about here. It's a little Allen screw underneath the throttle body, down by the fuel injector rails. My friend said he drove his MX3 for a year before he figured out that was the problem, said his engine ran like crap the whole time. So yea, check to see if you ...

Re: klze not running well.. sputtering and popping under thr
Well maybe that's the issue then. Your wiring loom is looking for a reading from an EGR that isn't there. That's why to make mine happy, I reattached the EGR where it's supposed to be, but then we just pinched off the line that's supposed to go to the manifold and plugged the EGR back to it's ...

Re: klze not running well.. sputtering and popping under thr
Goddamned EGRs, always making life difficult on these engines....do you have an aftermarket exhaust on this bad boy? I only have OBD1 so this code seems a little strange to me, but it sounds like it's not getting any air through the EGR to route back into the engine. Did you plug up the hole where ...

Re: Mazda MX-3 ECU Swap Help
Goooooodd morning sports fans! I can happily say the swap went well (for the most part) and the car is running again and behaving MUCH better! She's at a nearby Speedy getting an alignment as well as having the exhaust gaskets changed. When buttoning everything back up, we didn't have any exhaust ...

Re: klze not running well.. sputtering and popping under thr
Maybe a vacuum leak somewhere? I think a friend of mine had a similar issue, there's a small allen screw on the side of the engine somewheres that has to be there else the engine runs like crap. Hard to explain where it is, my MX-3s currently getting an alignment done, when I get it back I'll take a ...

Re: Mazda MX-3 ECU Swap Help
Small update for those that care :P It was raining like crazy Monday and Tuesday, so I pulled the codes last night when I got home...and she's throwing some really weird codes that don't really make any sense. The 2 codes that make sense are O2 sensor (LH side I think) and EGR valve, but then it's ...

Re: Mazda MX-3 ECU Swap Help
Your O2 sensors won't just throw codes for no reason. They are most likely shot and in need of replacement. Had the exact same issue with my O2's. The ECU does not change sensor wiring. The only thing that can change from what I have seen is the distributor wiring.

Re: Jimbo 1992 MX-3 GS
These cars are getting super rare, so no doubt you had the only one there! I love the look of your MX-3, so shiny!! 8) I'll have to buff the crap out of mine soon, I want that shine! :P I'd bet people are amazed when you say the car is 23 years old too :P I know whenever someone asks me about my car ...

Re: ProjectB10 - 1993 Eunos Presso HI-XS Special Edition
The red one is not road legal at the minute. The next step is the engine and gearbox upgrade. The engine is back from the engine builder....and I am recovering from price shock!!!

Re: Mazda MX-3 ECU Swap Help
Just an update guys, my friend and I swapped the exhaust (which was a pain in the a--...had to dent in the oil pan a little to get the down pipe to clear...it's sitting tight against the oil pan now) and I discovered why it idled so poorly. I've attached pictures this time! In one of the spots on ...
