oh yeah sry. its an 1.8 k8 v6 from 1995 got no complete history, but the cars is imported at 118.000 KM , got the cam belt changed and some minor stuff. I bought it at 160.000 KM and now it has run 165.000 Kilometers, so about 100.000 Miles. No clutch repairs noted. all stock i guess. But the sound ...

Whever iv'e driven for a while, and press the clutch its making this noise:

if i release the clutch and press it again its gone.

what is it, or whats causing it?

not uk. The Netherlands (Holland)

My car is originally from Germany.

so iv'e checked the ECU, it has 3 yellow plugs, plugged into it. On the passeger side(right side). Also the diagnostics connector is under the hood, behind the battery. And the indentification plate says EA90, wich is produced from 1993-1996, according the allmazda.net If you have 3, than you can ma...

apperently the k838.18.881a is different, because u someone at my mx-3 club says he has chipped this ecu. he's running KLZE. is searched this forum too and there's some talk about this ecu, its really confusing. In the UK: '93 - K838-18-881A '94 on - K857-18-881 that would mean k838 where build 1993...

hi, so my K8 Engine has some issues a lot of enige noises, not sure if harmfull but cant be good either. U can feel the engine shaking a little on stationair, also it shakes on low rpm when accelarating. Its not real bad, but still so i got -valve ticking -some ticking from the camshaft, that thing ...

yes thats the yellow/blue signal wire. That comment made me laugh hehe. I'm no expert either that wy i asked :P. but B and C should be the same signal. both come from the coil negative. so i should be able to use either one of them, using a 1000 ohm resistor on the red wire or none on the y/b wire a...

by the way, im not doing an HEI mod (yet), so the stock Ignition Coil has already an 1K ohm resistor build in. Right? yes but that signal is interrupted. And the guys from my mx-3 club say it should be wire B on this diagram: http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/5594/dijnges.png Uploaded with ImageSha...

hehe, okay il try this.

now i only have to find the correct wire, as my 3pin plug is colored different than other mx-3's.

see if i can find a test light.

12v is connected to a igniton on source.

ground to body just under the A-pillar.


so i have to buy an 1000 Ohm resistor and put this between the coil negative and the signal wire of the tach?

yeah i know it should not be difficult. my tach has 3 wires 1 for 12v source 1 ground 1 signal so i looked in the manual for the correct wire, wich should be on the 3pin plug. I tried ALL 3 wires, but it is just not working. 1 of the 3 should work because 1 of the 3 IS the tacho signal. I don't unde...

okay, maybe i can connect the wire behind the instrument cluster?

The yellow/blue should be te tacho signal yeah, but the manual says connect to coil negative which should be the red wire.. but either way all wires aint working. I cant get a solid rpm rate. The original tacho works fine (so i dont actually need it, but its fun with the shift light and digital numb...

Hi, I want to connect an aftermarket tacho on my 95 K8 V6 mx-3. Now everyone says that u need to use the red wire closest to the front bumper on the 3pin plug. However my wiring is differt. from front bump to rear: Blue Red Yellow/Blue so i tried connecting it to the blue wire, Rpm stays @ 0 Tried h...
