Re: Please help!!! (Noob Warning)

Re: Poor Gas Mileage On A Four Banger???

Re: Please help!!! (Noob Warning)

Re: Please help!!! (Noob Warning)

i was thinkin the TPS but i dont think that wud make the revs jump up and down between 2000 and 2500 though.

thanks though!

Re: Miata/MX3 Clutch Compatability
