Would it be easy to replace myself? And in my town my car isn't common at the junkyards so i'd probably have to purchase it new locally or maybe from rock auto.com unless anybody else has another suggestion And this is my maf/vaf right. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b58/flipdascript/2011-09-2318...

ok, so it seems that is an easy fix/replacement, but like ryan said those cel codes shouldnt be any reason why my is cranking but not turning over. does anybody think it could be a distributor related problem like the ignition control module or coil?

The engine spins. I know because when I turn the ignition my engine shakes a bit. I also need new motor mounts. But I haven't tried taking anything apart other than removing the fuel line to the motor and disconnecting the spark plug wire from the spark plug to check to see if they were getting anyt...

My 93 mx-3 gave out on me the other day while driving, no smoke, not hot or anything, just jerked a bit, engine revved down and it came to a slow crawl. Luckily I had enough momentum to pull it into a parking lot and have it towed. It wants to start but won't turn over. Checked fuel lines, and fuel ...

Well, temporarily and for the moment, i HAD to have that part fixed somehow some way. It was being a bugger and wouldn't come off so i had a welder fix it temporarily until i can find a replacement. gonna post a WTB and look in the for sale posts for a replacement. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/...

Progress so far and since I haven't found any spare parts at any j/y i've been informed the next best way to go is to weld the bolt back and have it reinforced with a metal sleeve. So far we're a bit stuck getting both sides off by hand tools so we'll be using an impact wrench to get the bolts loose...

Ya? That sounds very plausible, I think something is up with my suspension on that side anyways because when I got up to atleast 70-80 MPH on the freeway there would be some unstable wobbling. Are there any other mazda models that might have that part or similar replacement?

I don't think so. Although im not entirely sure. Haven't taken the bolt out yet

I know right!? that also just doesnt look like a reliable place to put a bolt, should be one piece metal all the way through, but hey, what do i know about designing cars? It broke while i was on the freeway going 65 MPH, while switching lanes. The rear wheel started to wobble and i thought i had a ...

OK, thanks, now when i go to the junkyard or pick-a-part, what exactly would i ask for? Its a mazda mx3 lateral link? or lower control arm, because the pics of lower controls arms i been seeing on google havent looked like that part of the car thats broken. I cant just replace that broken bolt in be...

Thank you for the quick response. So would i have to replace both sides in which that broken bolt connects the two sides together? Or does it come as one part? And do you think it would be an easy find at a pick apart or salvage company?

Hi, new to the forums and also a recent MX-3 owner of the 1993 base model, purchased recently with a salvaged title...ya. But so far the car has run very well even after figuring out one of the plastic side tanks on the radiator was cracked. Got it replaced and now something else has come up. http:/...
