It's funny when someone does something creative and diffrent some people always scream out photoshoped. I personally like it but the car needs some mesh up front.

Think I found it.

16 Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system

Awesome, I think I found code 16 in the fatory service manual but Im not sure if its the right code. Its for the EGR sensor, I cant see how that would kill my gas milage though. I'll see if I can find Grants site also.



thanks
Tony.

Ok here is the Code, I realized CEL meant check engine light but it was after I posted, lol

Its one long, then six shorts. Like this

---------______--_--_--_--_--_--_

_ is the Pauses, - is the CEL



Tony.

Ok I know about the 10 and ground jumper but what the heck is a CEL?

Lol, sorry for being stupid.
Tony.

Forgot to mention on my last inspection a couple weeks ago I failed NOX. The mechanic said my car could be running to rich and thats what causes high Nox readings.



Thanks again guys.
Tony.

Cyl 1 - 183, Cyl 2 - 181, Cyl 3 - 183, Cyl 4 - 179

Hot:
Cyl 1 - 182, Cyl 2 - 182, Cyl 3 - 182, Cyl 4 - 178

Are these ok???


I have reset and cleared out the ECU, also set it back up when I cleaned out ...

Thanks for the speedy feedback Tunes. I'm picking up a Compression tester in a bit and will run the test tonight. I'll post results soon as I have them. My car is a Manual so that should help milage a bit. My car idles awesome the only problem with any idle issue is sometimes it will idle at 1k then ...

Hello all, I bought a '94 MX-3 with a 1.6dohc about 3 months ago and I am getting very poor gas milage. Last tank I got 14mpg and the tank before that was about 16mpg. I only drive about 8 miles per day. I have done the following maintance fixes with no change in the cars mpg.

New Plugs
New Wires ...

Heh? Those times seem way to quick.

I thought 95' and up were OBDII?

I have the same noise on my 94' 1.6 when I rev and idle down. It's kind of hard to explain and sounds almost like a pump or belt. Perhaps its our water pumps???

I'm looking for the same exact part for my 94' . Mine was painted by the last owner and I need to get rid of the color. If I find anywhere that has one I'll let you know. Would you happen to know how to strip paint off plastic saftly?

Thanks so much for the help and replies. Yes it is the rubber seal that is in between the throttle body. I want to rip everything apart and clean it up and in the Chiltons manual it says replace rubber. It seems everytime I take something like this a apart if I dont have spares something rips ...

Hello everyone, I'm going to take apart my entire intake this weekend and clean it up. I have all the gaskets I need with the exception of the ISC Gasket. Does anyone know where I can pick one up online or possibly know a part number so I can go see if Mazda has any?

Thanks in advance.
