ok I will do that in the morning. Thanks

My MX-3 died on me about 1 month ago. The battery was dead and the alarm system had a shorted wire. Had a buddy at a dealership remove the alarm system. I replaced the battery. It cranked fine for a few weeks. Then one morning it was sluggish. That evening it would not crank. I jumped it off, took i...

Hey there Mxer's I need some help, I have a 94 Mx-3 4cyl DOHC B6 When I depress the brakes (no matter if it is to stop the car or just pressing them while in neutral) the engine surges, also once I'm at idle, after a second or two the rpm drop down to about 400 or less. If I pump the brakes the RPM ...

Hello, The issue is when the car is at idle is surges every couple of seconds. Not enough to make it die, just enough to notice. It has done this for some time. Due to failures in the past (6 months)I've changed out the disty, cap, rotor, plugs, wires, alt, battery, radiator. THen just recently my f...

I borrowed the drimmel and it worked great to remove the cat. Thanks again It's been running good so far, so I think I got the tension correct. I still have that small idle isse after it has been runing for a while but that was happening before this problem. It runs good, it is just aggravating to h...

Hey guys I finally replaced my alt. it wasn't fun but I got it
Thanks to you guys, Bumpsbro and Tunes

It is running pretty good. Thanks again and I hope I can help ya'll sometime to pay back the help.

OK I see what your saying, hey thats pretty good. I dont have a dremmel but I can probaly borrow one. Yeah if you got pics please post them. Thanks for your help. I was going to try to heat it up with a torch today. I've already broke a pair of vice grips trying to get it off. Thanks a lot for you h...

Well I started to try to remove the cat today, so far I got the nuts off and both spring and one stud. ONe of the threaded studs is stuck keeping me from removing the cat. I've used Wd40 to try to get it to losen but no luck. Any suggestion? Thanks This sucks major, I need to get my ride going. :?

Thanks a lot man. I will be doing it just as soon as I get off work this morning. I will let you know how it goes. The new ALT is a 70amp, I hope this keeps my lights from dimming when I apply the brakes. THen again I will just be happy if I get it running smooth. Heyhave you ever had this problem: ...

ok so unbolt the cat (two bolts) and move it to the side. THen is should come out, thank you. Any advice about installing the new alternator would be a life saver. As fas as the belt goes? Getting the tension right?
Thanks for any help

Hey guys my car finally just would not crank. I took it to autozone and the alternator and battery were both bad!!!!!!!! SO I have installed the new battery and then I took the old alternator apart from the car, the only problem is: HOW THE HELL DO YOU GET IT OUT? I can't get this thing out for noth...

thanks I will be changing it out myself for sure. I normally do all my repair work myself. I have changed the disty and the radiator on this car so far. It's just that it is a smaller engine to work on. I had a 1970 mustang with a 351 cleveland and a 91 Chevy with 350, so I'm used to more room and a...

thanks i will check out the belt,
is it hard to replace the belts on this car?
any tips or tricks to changing them out?

thanks

Just recently after the car sets for a period of time (8 hours or so) it will squeal for a minute or two when I first crank it. Then it stops and dosen't do it again, until it sets for a while. But as far as cranking it up after it has ran, it does not squeal. Also tonight I cranked it and cranked v...

The yellow mark is on the right and the white is on the left. They will be with in an inch of each other. The left is the one you line up with the 10 and the right you line up with T. Mine did not have any color so, I used chalk to mark them so I could see. Inspect your cap inside for marks of any k...
