so, how hard would it be to get a rebuilt altinator and swap it with the old one, on a K8D?

my air intake is dead and so im just looking for a cold air intake, instructions would also be a plus

ok, i have a voltage meter, and i check the alt, and it seemed to be fine, i ran all the electonics i normally run (ac, ran fine; music, played well with subs; lights, bright like they should be;) and im not sure, but yeah, any thoughts would be nice :-/

sorry, forgot to mention that, but yeah, the charge light was on, just got money for x-mas, so im getting it tested, and probably a new alt/battery

so... my guages go nuts, lights really dim, cd-player died... pretty much no power... these are signs of a bad one? (just makin sure), bairly made it home :-/, yeah

ok, ill get on that once i have a little bit of money saved up... right now my biggest worry is this oil leak, its gotta get fixed, but after that im goin to go for the CAI, thanks for the heads up

my engine's idling returned to normal, when putting it into gear, it feels normal instead of like a going clutch, and it doesnt die in neutral, which were all the problems i was facing at the time, and i tried the junk yard, there were mx-6's and probes, but i couldnt find a single one

ok, so i fixed the tube that goes from the air filter to the engine (and i presume thats where fuel is pushed in also), with duct tape... mostly cause i cant find another one... doesnt anyone know where i can get another air intake tube??? (dunno if thats the name, might be mass air intake or someth...

i may be new to the MX-3, but im in the midwest, right in the middle... omaha bitches (nebraska...)... mine looks like crap, and im workin on saving money for an oil leak (which seems to be the most major problem with it enginewise), and getting massive body work done (considering most of it is bond...

i did the searching before doing anything (after getting it back from the mechanic who missed this one thing for a week strait) and i checked the air intake where it comes from the air filter / fuel pump? and goes into the engine... it has massive cracks and leaks like a mother trucker... so im gett...

is it possible to pull the exterior off a MX-3 and replace it? mine kinda looks like crap (well, not kinda)... its got alot of bondo (spelling?)... its supposed to be white, but is spray painted black (how i got it... looks fine at night :-/ lol) but yeah, im goin to the junk yard tomorrow and if i ...

yeah, i had the same problem, before i figured that out, i took it to a "mechanic", whom had the car for a week, didnt figure out what was doing it... so i got it back, got home and within 10 minutes, read this topic, and figured out that the mass air intake tube (i think thats what its ca...

thanks, ill try that, but this is really confusing... i took it in to get the clutch looked at (cause im a newb, and dont think i wanna mess with the clutch quite yet), and it wasnt the clutch... this is the problem... when i shift into 1st or 2nd, it shakes the car violently back and forth, and im ...

might help if i tell you that my enginen is a K8, lol, still learning

would anyone have a picture of their engine they could open in bitmap and draw an arrow to the throttle control screw... i think i found it, but i dont know enough about cars to be completely sure :-/... i just wanna make sure that i dont mess with something without knowing what it is
