MX-3.com

On the way home from purchasing my MX-3 the car shutdown on the highway. Once I towed the car home it seemed to have lost all compression. I checked the spark and the timing belts, both are OK. A compression check turned up almost no compression in one of the cylinders. Any suggestions?

ya go shoot the guy that sold u a lemon, i would be pissssed as hell, if you bought it from a dealership, there is sumthin called the lemon law, that they cant sell cars they know to be POS, so i'd check that out, later

Eibach springs, ground effects, straight body and paint, 17'' wheels, 1993 loaded for $900.

sounds like you droped a valve (maybe ring)<BR>you need to get the heads rebuilt

DUDE 900!!!!! that sholda been ur first clue, OMG have u done any reserch bout these cars >/???/ have u ever bought a car before

haha I paid 3000 dollars.... put 2500 into fixing it ( within a month of having the car)... Now you wanna know a lemon..now one of my cylinders has bad compression. What a waste of a car... fx designs kit, sparkle blue paint, new clutch and many other mods... Im forced to sell it cuz its too much trouble to do a swap.<P>-eD

Thanks 4 the replies! I didn't research the car because I own a used car lot, and I know the car is still worth the money I paid. Anyone interested in buying the car, great project for $1000?

If you still got it when taxes come back, I'll buy it for the $900 you bought it for.
