Re: Probably did some serious damage...fml.

I worked on it last night, and found that it was in fact, the rubber end of the spark plug wire. So I got that out with a small metal pick, and changed out the spark plug finally.... Then I took back out the TB, and put that PCV line where the coolant line was, and put it all back together and fired...

Re: California Meet for summer 2010?

nah, would be cool to have a nice new paint job, but nah, mine is a nice blue color, and i really like it.

Re: Probably did some serious damage...fml.

Probably did some serious damage...fml.

Well I got an FML for you.... I was working on my car today, adding on that inline PCV filter mod, that I found in the FAQ. I got it installed, lookin cool, and pumped about it.

I am in need of the entire idle air control unit, with the motor and everything else, maybe even the wires. If possible I would also like a TPS, because I think mine might be causing a surging idle. either that or the IAC, if I could replace both, that would be great. please PM me if you have one av...

Re: Not sure how to Give My 93 mx-3 more power...advice?

How much do you think a used KLDE or ZE would cost? I looked at the site, got some neat stuff. But do you know where I could get a cheap DE or ZE engine maybe?

Re: Idle problem... well maybe...

Just did a makeshift diag test with paper clip in the TEN and GND, and my engine light did a long pulse, and 2 short pulses. From what I read in the online manuel, that means my throttle position sensor either, "Throttle position sensor connector, Wiring from TPS to the ECM, Or TPS itself"...
