after much angst, reinstalled the KL01 VAF, chipped KL07 ECU. The car idles and runs now, so it seems I had a fulty stock KL07 chip.

Would you believe the radiator sub-tank (where the radiator cap goes) exploded! More later after that is all put right.

Thanks for the tips guys!

Gentlemen, The last post hit a nerve, so I looked up some crankshaft test literature from the Univ. of Toledo, done for the American Iron and Steel institute. It's a long report, but very definitive. The entire report is at this site: http://www.autosteel.org/~/media/Files/Autosteel/Programs/LongPro...

I will change back to the JE50. Thanks guys. Just by the way, I started to remove the injectors for a check, found one of the rail bolts WAY loose, and apparently (though I suppose I could have knocked it into the valley area) NO O-ring on the #1 injector. That might just be the major vacuum leak so...

I am just finishing up a swap using a Millenia engine with KL31 heads, Millenia intake, 01 cams, KL02 VAF, EGR removed and blocked, K8 disty. The swap went reasonably well, with low mileage belt, tensioners, etc, all in proper time, I swear! It starts and runs. However, there is NO idle, just spitti...

Thnks for the tip. Now, do you have a source for a 2-bolt MTX shaft, or better, have one yourself. My new KL block has the full complement of usable threaded holes, but I'm not proud, just desperate. I HAVE to have a shaft in hand this week. Do you know for sure what donor cars carry a 2-bolt MTX sh...

PM'd Terry. His joint shaft seems to have the wrong bolt pattern. He's checking. If anyone has another shaft, PLEASE let me know!

thanks,
Steve

I finally found a local part, after asking for and getting help and suggestions. This site and the people here are the greatest. Thanks for the help! If I can be of help to anyone, please let me know! I apologize in advance for asking on this forum, but I am in dire need of a joint shaft/intermediat...

Help please guys and ladies! I also placed this in the WTB forum, but I am in semi-desperate need of a V6 intermediate shaft or jackshaft. Mine welded itself to the CV joint and is now total junk. Contact me at: 727-459-4781 stevesei@seiterfamily.com Thanks, Steve THANKS FOR THE RESPONSES AND HELP. ...

Hi,

Does anyone have a source for the transmission change rod boot? (the rubber bellows over the shifter rod where it goes into the MTX) Mazda wants $43 for this little rubber boot!

Thanks
Steve

Resolved, found a part locally. Thanks to the several people who scoured their parts shelves and offered suggestions. Hi! My passenger side CV joint welded itself to the intermediate shaft. I have a replacement CV, but REALLY NEED an intermediate shaft. Please call with a price and other details. Th...

Dibs on KL07 ECU! PM'd. Please call or text me at 727-459-4781!

Want to buy a KL01 ECU for a manual transmission MX-6, for KLDE swap for my 1992 MX-3 GS. I believe that the last digits of the part# should be 18881C or D. This is an ODBC-I ECU. I am located in the Clearwater, FL area. Please call 727-459-4781 or email me at stevesei@tampabay.rr.com.

Thanks!

I'll take the clutch line. PM'd 7/3/12

I brought my GS back from a hulk to a fully functional daily driver; A/C, automatic seatbelts, vents, VRIS, and all. I love it, but I have to agree with Ryan on several things: 1. The McPherson supension. Mazda did a good job with this, and it works great up to about 8/10ths cornering. At 10/10ths i...
