If I want to hook up my horn to the car alarm, where do I found the "horn output" from the car?

Hi All,

Thanks for your interest in MX-3 Slim Visors. I just wanted to make a few points so that you guys will hopefully see our side of the situation.

The driving force behind the design of Slim Visors, which were originally created for Integras and Civic, was to create window visors which were a ...

Sorry, I have no idea. He got the plug from his buddy at mazda. I think he said it was in the same general area as the other plug. That's all I know.

Thanks.

Hello?

No no, MAZDA MECHANICS were the one that screwed up my car. The last work that was done on my car was a service checkup a couple of years ago. I still have the receipt that said they changed the gaskets during that visit.

THIS mechanic is my personal one who works out of his home on the side. He ...

Thanks for all the input. I just wanted to let you guys know what happened.

I got my car back a couple of weeks ago. The oil on the sparkplugs thing was due to the valve covers being tighted way too much, squishing the plug rings and allowing oil to leak onto the plugs. Once new gaskets were ...

My mechanic plugged in his computer to get the codes off the ODB-II. At first it said MAF sensor. Then he cleared it and took it for a spin, then plugged it in again. Now it gave him FIFTEEN codes :S

He said there are actually 2 plugs for the ODB-II. He had worked on a Toyota one time where he had ...

Yeah, I looked around this morning, and didnt see any loose hoses. I'll check again after work. But again, when I tug on the TB lever under the hood, it fires up pretty good. I dont hear any wheezing at all.


DOH!! Sorry man.. I missed that your ride was a 96.. yeah if its OBDII then the paperclip ...

Yeah, the pedal is the same whether the hood is up or down.

I was under the impression that I couldnt do the 'paperclip trick,' since my car is a 1996, with OBD-II? I thought I could only hook it up to an ODB-II reader (which my mechanic has, if I can get my car there).

Thanks man.


They are ...

Thanks man. I guess I'll definitely change out the front 3 spark plugs, cuz the new gasket is in place. However I'm weary as to whether I should change the back 3, cuz there was a bit of oil on them back there. Wouldnt wanna ruin the brand new spark plugs... I'll change the front 3 and see if it ...

OH, another thing I noticed was when I pressed the gas pedal, the car would choke a bit. But as soon as I let go of the pedal, then the car would lunge forward a bit. Kinda backwards

The check engine light was on the last couple of days. I figured out there was oil on the spark plugs, so yesterday I went to my mechanic to change the valve cover gasket. He only had time to do that one, so I was going to go back today to do the IM gasket. Drove home ...

Thanks, Kev! It was a loooong time in the making. About 2yrs! Been slowly collecting the parts from here and there. Then a few months ago I finally decided to buckle down and get it done.

The main objective was to regain the trunk space in my car. I havent had a spare tire for the longest time ...

Yeah, that's why I was still using it sparingly until I recently got the grill (it was back ordered for Ages from JL). Now I wont have to worry about anything falling on the sub. It's actually recessed into the floor, so after the grill is put on, it's almost flush with the floor.

I didnt use any ...

BTW, I've got a credit for Ralph's for $50CDN. If anybody needs something from there, I'll sell it to you for $40. Else, I'll just hang on to it. Thanks.

Instead of double posting, I figured I'd just like it to the original thread:

Would have liked to have shared this in person with everyone at the MX-WEST meet, but I couldnt make it out there this year.
