If its not a fuel problem (filter or pump) I would try another distributor, just for fun. Also check the resistance in your plug wires if they are not new.

Someone told me if you get caught without a cat its a $10,000.00 fine. Isnt the north already melting fast enough?

good luck

Since you have it apart I would do the cam seals and also the front & rear crank seals, can save u a lot of grief down the road for about 20 bucks.

Often when a motor sits the above seals can dry out and are a major pain to change with the motor in the car.

good luck

I know that the 1.6 is non-interfence but I thought the 1.8 was. Glad to hear it is not.

Thanks guys

There are no pick & pulls around here, But often they will let you have a look. There are 3 places with MX-3 near Granby, Roxton is the best, they have 4 or 5, Samson not bad, they got a few & LF, he s got some but the guy is a bit of a crook. Dunham also has 4 or 5 but the place is hard to ...

sounds really nice!

I ll look for it for you in my area, I m actually not far from albany. Richford vt is like 5 mins. It will cost you if I find one,

I think I m gonna start taking pictures of MX-3 around here, there are quite a few.

good luck

Go scrap yard hunting, its fun...

One city or the other should have it!

How much cash do you have all together with car? I live in Canada 5 mins. from Vermont border, I have 2 MX-3 but want to buy another one for the KLZE in it (its in Ontario). I want to upgrade my 1.8 to the KLZE but my 1.8 & tranny ect is still good. I was going to do an engine swap, I already bo...

That switch somehow sounds like a problem. What I would do is go to a starter/altenator place (I got 1 locally, you can yellow page it) have them test your altenator & battery, takes 2 mins. If tthat checks out can be wiring or starter.

good luck

Yes he s definately right, get your stock system going before trying upgarde. Do you have an electrical problem, check your fuses, grounds and wiring).

good luck

For sure its just the valve seals, mine does the same and doesnt even take much oil. I have a small leak in rear valve cover and only use 1/4 litre 2000 km after oil change. I find it uses a little more as your oil gets old. I always like Engine Restore from crappy tire, its a bit pricey but seems t...

Can you go back to your stock distributor that you know that works well? MX-3 distrubutor ect. are finiky and anything wrong will really ruin your day.

When Nothing else works, go back to basics

Glad to hear i called it from the start (I should be more modest).

hah, i luv being right.
