hgallegos915: I dont know if it where a timing problem or not, I took the distributor out, changed the spark plug wires and put it back in. The engine seems to be mutch beter now, however it still seems to be lacking some power becouse it still sudently givs more power out. I think I need to just fi...

This is just a gues and may not be right. I had a similar problem to this a few years ago, but my engine would also die (on rear ocations) when I was driving and put it in idle. It also wouldent start when warm. I found the problem to be a hole (or diconected, cant remember) vacum hose near the air ...

Ok so I've changed over the distributor like marcdh said (thanks :D ) and it starts, the clutch pedal broblem also got solved by airing it. But when i started it it ran fine, went for a test drive and there were a massive power loss and it were stalling (dont know if it's the right word). Seemed lik...

Hi hgallegos915, I'm not sure what the difrence is with the OBD1 and the OBD2 I would recon it's the alternator like marcdh said, cant say about the sensors. Problem is that in Norway, as far as I have managed to find out, all the engines ranging from 91 to 98 came with OBD1.

I noticed that they where difrent but I dident think that it would mather.
I'll try changing it over tomorrow, tank you

Also any takers on my clutch pedal problem?

Hi, becouse of oil consumption I changed my engine. My old one was a 97 1.8 and the one I put in is a 91 1.8. I know there are some minor difrences but I cant imagen that there should be a problem. Now my problem is this; Everything I can think of is hooked up and pluged in. The car crankes and turn...

So, I did a compression test to se what i got. I'll do a recap first; I'm struguling with an abnormal use of engine oil, I've replaced head gasket and valve stems w/new seals. So the nubers: 150, 130, 145, 145, 170, 165 psi starting from 1 through 6. so all is fairly low. I did pour a smal amut of e...

Not sure if this help is going to help you, but i'll give a try. I had that same problem you have once. It starts nice when cold and then the Rev drops to low, making the car sort of jumpy when it gets warm. Im guesing you need to give alittle ekstra gas when you start driving from a standstill so t...

Here is an update for those who want it. I went down to the DMV (Biltilsynet) to ask what it took to do a legal swap to the KLDE or other. From what i understod this would be neer inposible, he said that I would need to get some papers from Mazda or Germany (?) the stated how much weight the engine ...

Altho I rely vant this question answered, it is no rush since I just bought 1 1/2 new MX-3(s).

I bought them for the engine, one with and one without. I'll try to fix them so i get 2 working perfectly and scrap what i'll have left of the last one.

Well the sad thing is that in Norway (and i gues some other countrys), the car has to be approved with how much HP it can handle. This is why I need some sort of document preferably by mazda, wich i'm told they dont give out, thet states that the car and it's parts has been approved for a specefic H...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone from Erurope (or anywere) has any legal documentation on how much HP this car can have. My car is a 97 1.8V6 but I realy want a 2.0 or 2.5 (since i have to change it annyway) if I can find any legal papers from mazda that says this car can can take the extra HP. Anyone ...

Well, thanks, for the tip ;) it's cheep but no postage on it, only local pick up :( My car is runing, but it uses about a liter of oil pr. full gas tank. (for the love of me i cant figure out how it can). I'll search until i find one that I like ;) well I've found one for £400 stated as new (guesing...

WARNING: Rambling and booring reading below as I have no time to edit... ARG the Video store is closing in 30 min... Must rush... I'm guesing you'r right in that importing a low km, engine is the best (I would prefer a new one tho). The tax if import one my self is 25% of the engine cost (not sure i...
