I think the 4cyl is 60amp but you can get an alternator from a GS and swap your smaller pulley from your alt onto the 90amp GS alternator. And the battery is dead because it is not getting charged by the alternator, check your wires too. yep ok so i charged up the battery put it in the car, she fir...

ok so i boosted it with another car and it started just fine, everything turned on and it was running... now my only problem is is it really just the battery? its a yr old and it was running fine without any issues before the alternator went...i probably drove the car without the alternator charging...

ok so i JUST got my car back from the shop, he changed the heating core pipe that was leaking coolant and he changed my alternator that both just happen to go at the same time! so i drove the car home from the shop fine, drove it to work in the morning and as i was comming back home, i have a sub in...

Ok i have another Mx3 problem, its a 93 also the 4CLY 5 spd, Well my coolant slowly leaked out and i drove it unknowingly untill i was going and the CHARGE red light came on, on the dash and there was a whining sound comming from the engine, my 1st assumption was that it was the alternator, maybe it...

Looks like you started a dry engine. I like to take the plugs out, oil the cylinders, roll the engine over to bring up the oil pressure, install the plugs and then start the engine. Is there any oil in the engine? i was assuming the engine was not getting oil since the ticking started so i stopped ...
