Re: Mazda MX3 Hesitation Problems

Alright...

The firing order checks out. The Car appears to run smoother than when I purchased it... except for the fact that I changed a bunch of crap and now my idle is out of whack. What I mean is that when I come to a hard break to cuts off because of the energy use and shifting at a stop. After ...
