v6 mx3 spark problem

[zackqw]

Okay.. i have a MASSIVE headache over this so please help me out! I got a 93 v6 mx3 for 500 and it runs and drives.. but the trick is it losses power randomly.. sometimes it take 20 minutes for it to die.. other i cld drive for an hour.. i let it sit for like 10 minutes then starts back up... then after awhile does it again.. when it happens everything dies then comes back on... idk why.. now im having a studder problem like shes running 5 cyclanders.(at low rpms) im thinkin i accidently put bad gas in her(found a 5 gal of gas maybe was old)or spark problem.. but this dieing is kinda stumping me.. ALSO! i have looked for 3 hours and i cannot find a diagram for the spark plug wires(1-2-3-4-5-6) i know where they go on the dizzy because its numbers but not onto the motor.. could someone help with that also? I would appreciate it.. thanks

Another spokane mx-3 owner? What a coincidence.

[zackqw]

hey thats coo.. what part of spokane you live in? i might have seen you drive around.. i used to own a rx7 but it got stolen and smashed so i decided to pick up a mx-3. i live right by rogers high school

Im up north. I have SE, so it's easily noticeable. I only know of 2 other SE's in Spokane. One usually sits on Rowan and other one is by Banner bank on Division.

If you can get a new disty for $130, I'd hop on that. I haven't found anything cheaper than 200 for 'new'.

[zackqw]

ebay had a few new ones.. I dont have that kind of money with bills and house payments plus car payments.. And up north? you wouldnt happen to be in the camelot area would you? Because i know of one there. not sure if its a se. I have a gs.

is it giving any codes, CEL on? check distributor cap and rotor

Im not sure about codes. havnt looked. CEL? and cap and rotor are fine. a little worn but i took really fine sandpaper and cleaned the points around the cap up. rotor needed no cleaning. im thinking coil wire...

Ill check right now and be on periodoctily all day.

[mitmaks]

mine was hesitating. I changed cap/rotor and it runs much better now. Napa has good prices on these parts

[zackqw]

im just going to change the dissy.. i think that should solve the problem..
