Re: Got my own MX-3... with problems.
Ok... I know that the distributor cap is where the wires plug into from the engine, but what is the rotor?

Re: Got my own MX-3... with problems.
It smokes but it is just white/gray, typical for first start up. I wear the seat belt, she wears the other seat belt... it still goes off... it's possessed. I think I will look into that sensor underneath the seat.

Re: Got my own MX-3... with problems.
Oh ok, is the fuel filter on these cars inline with the fuel lines or are these gonna be in the tank. Sorry I was involved in an accident three days ago. A lady decided to park her Cheerokee into the back of my Forenza... so I havent checked anything on it except for the easy stuff. Thanks for your ...

Re: Got my own MX-3... with problems.
Well, the dipstick looks like it is good but it doesnt seem to be getting enough oil on it, maybe it is just me, but I think I will still change it simply because the air filter scared me ![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)

Re: Got my own MX-3... with problems.
It is really hard to say with the oil level, I will probably change the oil anyways because the previous owner was cheap. The air filter has a date of 04/96 Fram on it... this is going to be a long project I forsee... From looking into the motor via oil cap the engine has a golden color to it and ha...

Re: Got my own MX-3... with problems.
Also, after changing the plugs and wires (which looked really bad btw) I have noticed that the car is ticking louder than ever, sounds like it is coming from the valve cover or injector area. While the car warms up, the oil light will flicker on and off. The ticking does not stop regardless and can ...

Re: Got my own MX-3... with problems.
The windows are the manual crank type though. Yeah, if they were electric windows, then I would definitely expect problems... but these crank down real easy but you have to use two arms when it gets past the middle. Supposedly the car has never been in a wreck. I will investigate the thermostat with...

Got my own MX-3... with problems.
Hello all, Thanks for the help on my previous postings for my wife's 95 mx-3. Purchased a 93 MX-3 with B6-ME mated to 5 speed tranny. Changed plugs and wires today... plugs all had a good amount of oil on them. There was some kind of sludge on the second one to the driver side. Engine bay is pretty ...

Belts squelching at start.
1995 Mazda MX-3 with B6-DE mated to Auto tranny. Belts have been replaced, timing belt replaced as well, however the car is still squelching at start up. Car wasnt doing it before Mazda replaced the serpentine belts (all 3 of them...) could they have overtightened the tensioner? Is this something I ...

Knocking into second gear
My wife owns a 95 MX-3 with what I think is the B6-DE motor mated to an automatic tranny. While driving, the car seems to just stay in first gear unless I let off the gas for it to shift into second or it tachs out and knocks into second. It doesn't matter if the AC is on or off. I have not checked ...

Sticky Shift Lever
My fiance owns a 1995 MX-3 1.6L with a Automatic Tranny. Every now and then, the transmission lever is very hard to get into a selected gear no matter what gear you want it to go into, from Park to Reverse, Park to Drive... and vise versa. What can I do.. hearing the nag na nag nag nag nag of her ha...
