Re: cylinder #5 spark plug becomes very loose

i'll double check both those things, but cylinder #5 is always the biggest problem even after a plug change. my plug wires are pretty old too and i don't think they're all sitting quite right so i'm going to try and pick up a new set. thanks for your help!

cylinder #5 spark plug becomes very loose

last winter i noticed some of my plugs tapping. that was easily fixed by tightening the plugs back in. #5 was loosest of them all then, and now it's incredibly loose again. it became so loose that when i popped the hood you could see and feel the plug wire moving. why does this keep happening?

Winding Narrow Road = Fun :(
Random Loose Sand on Roadway at Most Devastating Spot on the Road = Not Fun :(

I wouldn't be so upset if it weren't for the fact I was actually going the speed limit for once and I put on new tires the previous day. Haha ...

Re: downshift into 1st

Yeah I just got home from work and on the way there and back I tried forcing the shifter like SE-Man suggested and it does work quite well. Just a little weird because it goes against anything most people are taught about shifting. Thanks SE-Man... it's a nice change to be able to shoot out of the ...

Re: downshift into 1st

I have no problem matching RPMs in any other gear on a downshift, but no matter how well I get them matched up it just won't go into 1st. I didn't mean for this to become a post on technique, but I was looking for something more technical as to why my car is doing this, and if anyone else has the ...

downshift into 1st

Why can't I downshift into 1st unless my car is near a dead stop? I've already switched out shifter and extension rod bushings. While my shift gates are tighter, and shifts more crisp I still have this problem of downshifting into 1st. Is this by design on the mx-3? A car like ours that relys on ...

Re: NEW KLZE website

a reference site with clear clean cut non-conflicting information on the klze would be sweet. it'd save lots of people lots of time, and possibly money.

Re: overflow tank not holding coolant

allright that's probably what i'm going to do. i thought i'd check on here real quick to see if there was a common hose or point in the system this happened at frequently that i could fix/replace before spending the $.
