Re: engine hum, electrical

It is the one right at the top of this same section about cleaning and adjusting the throttle body (TB).

engine hum, electrical

My son-in-law was trying to adjust his idle. He now gets a faint hum. Heard when the engine is not on. It seems to be coming from the throttle position sensor area. Will changing its adjustment cause an electrical hum? Is that what he messed with? will following the two part post with pictures on th...

1.6 wont idle

I just completed my first clutch job on one of my MX-3s, a 93 1.6L 5spd. Put it all together and everything worked but now the engine won't idle. I do not see any hoses or wires that are not connected. Have only been able to keep it going by shortening the accel cable. What am I missing?

v-6 a/c compressor replacement

Need to replace the a/c compressor. Looks to be a real tight fit... if not impossible.
Any useful advice or words of wisdom to help in the replacement?

92 tranny swap 4 to v6

Is the manual transmission in 1992 the same between the v-6s and the 4 cylinders or are they different?

Re: 92 v-6 now has spark Now running

The car is alive.!!! Went looking for vacuum leaks... how about the large tube that sticks out of the side of the tube between the air filter and the throttle body. I can't figure out its purpose, but I had taken it off to swap the distributors (cause it is in the way). Still don't know what it is t...

Re: 92 v-6 now has spark but wont stay running

I put the replacement distributor in the same position as where the old one came out. Can I check the timing without it running? and how? I do have a timing light. I am very capable mechanically but this car is a bit new for me... :)
I will check for leaks and report back...

92 v-6 now has spark but wont stay running

I swapped in a know good v-6 distributor and now have spark. the car will start but will only run for about five seconds. If I pump the gas as fast as possible, I can get it to sputter for a bit longer. Any ideas?

Re: 92 GS v-6 with no spark, now spark but dies

So I swapped in a know good distributor and... the car will start up but dies after about 5 seconds. If I pump the gas pedal as fast as possible, it will sputter a lot and stay running a bit more. Any ideas?

92 GS v-6 with no spark

I just picked up a 92 GS with the v-6 that I am trying to revive. I have a running GS to compare it to. My problem is I am getting no spark. Plugs and wires have been replaced. Primary winding resistance on the coil appears okay (although a little more than stated in shop manual but I am testing at ...

Might need a distributor for the same 92 v-6. Let me know if you have one of those also and how much. dougbee@co...
