Hello guys. I have read through the postings here on MX-3 about removing the drive axles and i am a little confused as what is involved. So far i am at the point were i have gotten the axle bolt off(that was a hell of a job), the brake caliper and rotor are also off. So i have attached a few photos ...

Yah i know... Since i will be pulling the motor out anyways and replacing it with electric i figured i could get by with out replacing the pulleys. Oh well :D Well at least for 60 miles i did. I have found a set of pulleys and tensioner for about 150$ bucks, pulleys were 50$ and new tensioner was 10...

Thanks for the tips. The car has 266,000miles on it. I replaced everything around the timing belt except the tensioning pullies and auto tensioner. I have now driving the car 60 miles and right when the odometer clicked over to 60 the car shut off while i was coming to a stop sign. Wouldn't start ag...

This weekend i proceeded to replace the broken timing belt on my new to me MX3 v6. During the install of the new belt i some how cross threaded one of the tensioning pullys that sits just behind the front heads cam. Stripped it clean out. Well crap with out that pully on there i dont get any tension...

I just wanted to take a few moments and post and update. This weekend i set out on the task of changing out the broken timing belt. I had very little knowledge on the whole process with most of my experience limited to head gasket changes, and clutch replacment. Well i am happy to report after about...

Well i just found out what the main cause is (Still dont know if there will be a dizzy issue) The timing belt snapped on the side closes to the front bumper. The previous owner said it over heated and then wouldn't start so it seems that would be the reason it wouldn't start for him. I am hoping tha...

So i think i have narrowed the problem down to one of two things. Timing belt, or bad distributor. I did another check that didn't accure to me at first which was to take the distributor cap off and turn the car over to see if the rotor would spin. Well the rotor didn't budge at all when the car was...

So i just notice that one of my air filter senors was unplugged. Plugged that in and now i only get the error code 4 No NE1 signal.
I just bought a new cap and rotor and made no difference. Guess the distributor is bad?

I just did the engine code test and got the following errors

4 - NE1 singal crank angle
8 - Airflow meter
10 - Intake air thermosensor

Close this please

Hello, first off my name is Derek, I just bought my first MX3 2 nights ago for 300$. I got a 1992 mx3 v6 5speed. The car is in great condition inside and out. The only issue with it is it wouldn't start. Here is the back story i got. Previous owner driving home one day had the car over heat. Since t...
