Some more problems

I have a 1993 mx-3 gs. the car runs good for about the first 5 minutes, but after it warms up it leans out and just kicks and shakes if I try to give it any throttle.

Where's that o2 sensor!?

Looking for the o2 sensor(s) in my mx-3 GS but can't locate one anywhere near the catalytic converter, should there be one there, or is it/they somewhere else on the car?

Re: High idle, drops rpm's when giving it the gas

Ok I did the idle drop test and every wire caused the idle to go down the same amount, I put some injector cleaner in my gas and ran the car around for a bit, when I parked it again though the my rpm's stuck at 2500, I restarted the car and now the idle keeps bouncing from 1000 to 1500

Ok finally an update on my problem (didn't get to go anywhere with it due to being busy with school and work) I had a mechanic friend of mine check it out and he said he thought it was the fuel filter, so we replaced it and though the old one was nasty it didn't help much. He then figured out how to...

Re: High idle, drops rpm's when giving it the gas

The cat. that came on the car got plugged, but when I had it replaced I had a brand new one put on so there shouldn't still be a problem with that :? though at this point I'm not ruling anything out.

I had this problem fixed but when I got the car back it had some new issues. For one it doesn't like to start unless you crank on it for a while :shock: the next problem...
