distributor questions

My girlfriends mx-3 is throwing the code for cam angle sensor. Since I've got to get it to pass california smog soon, i'm thinking of replacing the distributor with a used one.

changing color

Anyone know how I can change the color scheme of MX03.com? The red and black is difficult for me to read.

Thanks

Re: CEL 13 8 or 138?

Thanks for the CEL info. I've changed out the MAF for a junkyard one, and I no longer get an "8" when i pull the codes - YEA. I've still got two questions: 1 When I jump ten and gnd, then turn on the key, the CEL stays lit for about 4 seconds, then goes dark, then three short flashes, then...

Thanks for the info. I was caught up in house projects and didn't get around to doing anything about this- and the cel went out! It still goes on when the key is in "run" before car starts, so i know the light didn't burn out. Is it normal for something to "fix" itself? Maybe jus...

CEL 13 8 or 138?

93 mx3 4 cyl base model- the cel light has been flashing, so i used a paperclip to pull codes. I get 1 long flash, then 3 short flashes, then 8 short flashes. There is a 4 second delay between each flash. I found a forum thread with some codes, but none of them seem to have 13, 8 or 138. I guess the...

broke my maf/ air flow sensor

Girlfriends 93 MX3 4 cyl. I was doing a quickie cleaning of MAF (just did it on my 4runner) and messed it up. I removed the two screws and pulled. Of course, car wouldn't start after i pushed it in. I cut the silicone holding the top on and found an extra metal strip that's supposed to be soldered o...

93 mx3 4 cyl ac fuse?

Air conditioning pump is not engaging when I hit the ac button. I think it's completely out of freon, so this may be why it's not engaging (worked a month ago). Thought I'd check the fuse, but can't seem to find it. It's not listed on the box on the drivers kick panel, and not listed on the box on l...
