Re: belts wont stop sqeaking! - tried everything! - help!

Guys I don't think there is an answer to this. I have had this problem for 4-5 years, have replaced my belts 6 times, new pulley, new water pump, etc. I have probably spent 1500-2000 just trying to fix the damn squeel and it still does it occasionally. Mine happens when the air is on or the rear def...

largest wheels and crazy noise

First of all, what is the largest size wheels I can put on my 94 rs? I wonder if 17's would scrape up under the wheel wells. <p> Second, does anyone else get a crazy electrical buzzer/grinding noise sometimes from the engine compartment when it is really hot outside (above 95 degrees)? It is loud as...

Fuel guage/fuel pump

About a month ago, when my fuel guage gets to about half a tank, it either beings to swing wildly from half to empty as I drive (due to the movement of gas in the tank) or it just drops all the way to below E and stays there. Does anyone know how to fix this. Does the fuel pump have this guage attac...

car chip

I want to add this carchip http://www.davisnet.com/drive/products/carchip.asp ) to my 1994 4 cylinder but the mfg says it works on 1996+ cars. Anyone know if there are any mods available to make it work? Anything similar on the market for our cars? Thanks.

Re: new weird stalling problem

How would you reset the ECU? Is this something that should be done from time to time?

95 V6 to 94 RS?

Will parts such as the air conditioner compressor and starter off a 95 V6 fit on a 94 RS? A long shot but I thought I'd ask.

Anyone ever done any LP or electric conversions?

I'm probably the only one on here that isn't interested in racing. I am more interested in gas mileage and maybe some fun conversions say to LP gas. My MX-3 is more of a toy, I wanna do some fun stuff. You guys ever trying anything like this?

Re: brakes clicking?

I had the same problem, same wheel. I think it has something to do with the caliper. There is a technical recall or something on it that I printed out (it's on here) and took to Midas and they finally fixed the problem for me.

Re: A/C causing engine to hesitate??

I've been battling this problem for 3 years now. I have a 94 RS and every time the A/C compressor kicks on, the belt squeaks for a second and the car lurches. I have spent over $1500.00 and 10 trips to various garages, including the Mazda dealer, and nothing helps. I've had the belts replaced 6 time...

ecu port?

Hey All:<P>I have an 94 RS and I understand that the 95 and newer model had a plug that you could tap into to read the engine stats with a computer such as the clarion autopc. I'm interested in doing someting similar. Can you verify that info and know if I could put a 95 port or computer in my 94? M...

a little summer help

I love my 94 RS. Just turned 150,000 today and runs like a charm (most of the time). When I run my A/C in the summer though, the car barely has any power at all. Is there a switch I can install that will kick off the A/C compressor when I really step on the gas? I think I heard of that once. I'm tir...

Re: Belt Squeeling - Nightmare. (PLZ HELP)

I hope you figure this problem out. Sounds EXACTLY like what I have been going through with my 94 RS. Finally had the Mazda dealership replace everything (belts, pulleys,water pump)$900.00 and it still squeals, exactly like you described it. All I think left is the alternator and air conditioner com...

never-ending belt squealing

Ok guys, to make a long, long, long, story short. I've spent over $1,200 and 8 trips to garages (3 to the Mazda Dealership) and my belts still squeal everytime the air conditioner compressor kicks on or sometimes in the mornings when it's cold. Supposedly the Mazda dealer replaced every belt and pul...
