On my 95 dohc the filter is on the firewall right behind the motor. My warm idle is almost 1k but I think recomended is 800-900.

I had to unbolt the exhaust by the oil pan, and then shove it down between the steering and axel. 3 times! 1) stock with bad bearings 2) new one from autozone - dead 3) new one from autozone - 15 amp output and lasted 1 day. SO the 3rd one they got for me works great. Total PITA for me. Hope your ne...

Got it from http://www.racepages.com it's Part #: SILLA7519. $136.71 shipped (well total because you get free shipping on $50+ orders). And I got it exactly 72 hours after ordering. It has brackets on the mounting pegs that make it a little harder to install, mine complicated by front end damage. Th...

If you are charging at 18v your regulator is bad. That is definatly high.

It's in the housing the upper radiator hose connects to. Right under the distributer.

And that's why I should read the whole post before replying. One of the mechanics at the shop that did some body work for me said that I should do it and get a little more out of the 1.6. But mine is a dohc.

I have a 95 as well! Does it leak any antifreeze? Any leaks in the coolant system will have that effect on them. The other thing is the water tempurature sensor it has two or three wires and screws into the head. It's not the water sensor with one wire - that one is for the gauge. I had both of thes...

As far as I know, the only alternative is one from a miata. But with those you have to get the coil pack and find a place for it because it's not all together. Heard it's an upgrade tho because you can mount it away from the motor and keep the coil cooler giving better performance from it.

Not bad I think and I can put that...

And then went to Autozone for new hoses and clamps $30 there and everything needed for $270! Oh yea I placed the order on...
