hello i just moved to Calgary, i was looking to see whom else has mx-3s in calgary...

there are a few of us here. usually it is a bbq at my house. let me know if you need anything, and we will post up if there is a meet.

well i would like to meet up with some ppl and see if anymore can help me figure out how to fix my couple problems with my car....

what are the issues? and v6 or i4? I have a garage with prety much any tools a person would need. I di however live in okotoks (15 min south of calgary) I will be away this weekend, but during the week in the evenings is usually good

Let me know whats up

i'm also in calgary but recently i've been going between here and edmonton for work and such.

jesse (rece) is great help if you ever need help on your mx-3, he's done much for me, i back his work 100%

wish i could of made it to the BBQ, but i was in edmonton >.<

There are lots of us in Calgary. Inc, Mi|<E and I. But anyone on here should be willing to help with any questions you may have. I am pretty sure Calgary has the largest Mx3 ratio on the road... just most of them are not on the site.

it is the 4 cylinder DOHC and every time i come to a complete stop my rpms drop to about 500 and then i have a 50% chance of it dieing or it just says at 500rpm...... and the second thing... i did i diognostic on my check engine light and it said my vavle positoning sensor (16) but i dont know exactly where that is or how to fix it

i think all you need to do is increase the idle using the idle screw

just jump gnd and ten turn the scrwe clockwise

on your first post, you were told to check for vac leaks and to spray some carb cleaner around your intake to check for leaks. Did you do this? This is a very common problem and the fixes normally include a short cold air intake or some duct tape on the tube. We are all willing to help, but you must be willing to try somethings on your own.

Sorry for being blunt. Just giving you enough respect to tell you the truth.
BTW
What part of the city are you in?

forest lawn.... right on the corner of 17th ave se and 36th st se...

that's not too far from me ^_^
if ya ever need a hand on something shoot me a pm

cool thanks... so i checked what i think is my idle screw and i think someone stripped it.... the idle screw is an allen key right?

correct

ya well it is stripped

if you have a dremil, cut a slit into it and use a flat head screw driver to remove it, and get a replacement one either at the junkyard or whereever you like
