I had the same problem man! I spent about 900-1000 dollars getting my mx-3 up and running again and that still didn't fix it! After awhile it just started to lose power and then one morning it just wouldn't start, i replaced the spark plugs even though they didn't need it and it still didn't work......

Its on the outskirts of Twin Falls where the speed limit is 55-60mph(depending on where you are at) on hwy93 its 60mph. You enter it by getting to a stop sign so thats where...

Nope, a 2004. Sorry man but it does. I've tested this thing on the country area of Twin Falls. and it's only on a good day i said it can take 5-6 secs on a good day, 7-8 seconds most the time but if you use the lower gears just right you can do it. I'll take a video camera with me and leave it right...

One problem then another and it sucks because its winter and i have no other car! I've driven a 2.2L Malibu classic, it was freaking awesome! 0-60 in just 5-6 seconds(on a ...
