Re: mx-3 4cyl DOHC remove speed governor ?

I hope you mean 180km/h, which is approx 110mph. In my sohc I touched 120mph at one point in time on a slight downslope. All stock with a fart can.

Re: odd klze prob

Plug the hole and adjust your idle, the idle air screw is on top of the throttle body youll need just a phillips screwdriver.

Re: Failed nevada smog help!!

First thing would be to fix the valve cover gasket, you can find a set on ebay for real cheap. And just do your basic tune up which consists of air filter, plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor button. And it might not hurt to change the oil while your at it. Are you throwing any codes?

Re: nearly stalling... any ideas?

spray some carb cleaner around the areas where there are vacuum lines, the idle will raise when you find a leak as the the fluid will burn off when it gets sucked in.

Re: 93 MX-3 GS with KLZE wont start.

The tapping noise was most likely the lifters as they are noisy on these cars. Does the engine have good compression? What about the timing, make sure it is spot on.

Re: Check engine light - Need help

First, test for 12v on the white/red wire. That wire is connected to the main relay. The other 3 wires run to the ECU. Test each for continuity to itself and to each other wire. Also test all 4 wires for continuity to ground. Each wire that you test should only show continuity to itself. If any wir...

Check engine light - Need help

Hi everyone, I am new to the board but I have been looking at threads on here for awhile now. I bought a 92 1.6 SOHC MX-3 as a new daily driver and I am having some problems with the gas mileage and the power band.
