Re: Strange Voltage at Coil Pos (+) HEI Mod w/ EXT Coil

Hello I have this exact problem too. The tach jumping I mean. I have done the HEI mod and it worked perfectly for a while. But my biggest problem with it is that sometimes it wont start. Usually after standing for a few days it won't start even if I charge it. Then maybe it won't start every day for...

I disconnected the IAC and the car runs great. Is it Ok to run without it?
Mazda wants almost 2000$ for a new one. And I am not paying that.

When the engine reved itself to 3000 rpm. the TB didn't open at all. Is it the IAC than lets air in that can be th...

Hi. I checked for leaks and i did not find any. Then I checked once more with the same results. What and where is the sir sensor? how do I check if it is bad? I might be wrong but I think the thing with the idle almost just happens when I bring the car to a stop. At a light or parking. But the engin...

When I stopped at a red light the rpms went up to about 3000 and stayed there....

Maybe a little out of topic, but I'm going to order ZX2's from oemfordparts and was just wondering if I should order the "metal strut bearing" part: "F8CZ-18198-AAA" while I'm at it?
And I was thinking og ground controls, but should I order for the MX-3 or the Escort?

Thanks

Re: my mx smells like ****

I have tested emissions and it was fine. When friends drive behind me they say that they can smell it inside their cars. I thought 1000$ was quite expensive. Maybe Mazda tried to ripp me off. If I buy a high flow cat thingy, will I still be able to pass emissions? because a friend of mine bought one...

my mx smells like ****

Hello

Can anyone tell why my exhaust smells like ****.
espacially when I'm in reverse.

I have a custom cat-back system by the way.
Could it be a clogged cat converter?
