Re: Mx3 Heat Problem? Thermostat

thats weird, i dont see how 1/16th of an inch on a rad hose would make a difference... was it clamped securely with hose clamps? im assuming it was sucking in air which was causing your problems? yes I had hose clamps on tighter than I would have normally gone but I kept getting a slow (real slow) ...

Re: Mx3 Heat Problem? Thermostat

OK finally got this problems figured out (knock on wood). When I got a hole in the initial radiator hose I got a new one at an auto zone. Well it was too big. I got the right one from advance auto and measured it to make sure. The old one that I put on and had the problems was 1 and 1/4 inch. The ne...

Re: Clunking Noise And Pulling To The Left Side

Thanks for all the help..Long story short, the guy said he would hold the car with a deposit so I can talk to some people about the issues and I would tell him my decision in the morning. Well I wake up to a text message saying that he sold it. Thanks anyway, still in hopes of finding a v6!!

Re: Clunking Noise And Pulling To The Left Side

first is to jack it up and take the wheel in your hand, move it back and forth, and see if the control arm is damaged in any way. I had the rear bushing completely snap in half and caused an issue like you mentioned. you can see a picture of the control arm in my gs worklog. if everything on the co...

Clunking Noise And Pulling To The Left Side

Hello everyone. Looking to purchase a 1994 GS 1.8 K8, replaced engine (seller claims it is a JDM import, has proper paperwork..don't know if this is a big deal or not since I don't spend too much time following the v6 models). Anyway, When I drive the car straight, not problems at all. Cruising arou...

Re: Mx3 Heat Problem? Thermostat

I jacked up the front of the car, opened the rad cap and lightly applied the throttle. Eventually the air bubbles started rising to the top, and alot of them. Lowered the car, refilled, and off I was, with heat and a normal operating temp gauge. Thanks everyone.

Re: Hesitation / Bogging Problem

I found out that sometimes it would get spark and other times it wouldnt. I was told you replace the coil and go from there. All the coils I find are listed for the 1.8 except for one which lists both engines will work. Are the coils the same from the 1.8 and the 1.6? This is one of the sites that l...

Re: Shipping MX-3 across the US.

I forget the name of the company which its through but trucks that have open spots put the spots up for bid. They are fairly cheap. My uncle bought landscape equipment and used this method to ship. He had 2 or 3 tractors and it only cost him around $400 to ship from florida to nj. I guess youd have ...

Re: Mx3 Heat Problem? Thermostat

Re: Mx3 Heat Problem? Thermostat

Back to this problem. When I did my clutch, it was at a friends garage. Final days were approaching and my heat still wasnt fixed. My buddy replaced the thermostat and all was good. Mind you, I already replaced the thermostat about 2 months prior with a new one and it didnt help. This time it was go...

Re: Hesitation / Bogging Problem

Distributors are a common problem. How are your spark plug wires? Spark plugs and wires are brand new, just replaced them a couple days ago when the problem started. Inspect/replace disty cap and rotor and spark plugs The cap and rotor on one of my mx3's were replaced about 6 months ago so i know t...
