While in neutral for some reason it makes a grinding noise and when i slightly step on the clutch it goes away ( like 1/4 of the way down) The grinding noise comes and goes. Does anybody have any idea what this means? btw it's a 199...

Re: Will a radiator from automatic trans fit a Manual MX3?

Thanks guys! It was actually the rad behind the condenser shooting a spray of coolant straight forward through the condenser so it looked like it was leaking from there. So all is fixed now. The radiator for automatic trans looked a little different but with parts from the old one it fitted the manu...

Re: Will a radiator from automatic trans fit a Manual MX3?

Ok so there could be coolant leaking from there. Is that right?
OR is that absurd? because it's refrigerant and there shouldn't be any coolant in there?
I just have to know
Thanks

Sorry I shouldn't have used the terms rought start.What I mean by that it that it is hard to start(3secs crank or so and usually only starts at the second crank.) Not that it idles roughly.It idles just fine once it'n on.

Hi all! Well I really don't know what else to do. I got a brand new disty and ignition cables. Now the car starts every time (but will still take about 3 secs before catching and CEL will come on and stay on) but once in a while it will start just fine and no CEL light on. What should I do? What cou...

Thanks guys I'm now sure it isn't the fuel pump. I will change the fuel filter anyhow because it's been ordered. Now my distributor was changed 2 years ago and do you think it might be the same problem again? Is 2 years or 45,000 kms the average lifespan of a distributor? I called a garage and they ...
