Is this Old Engine Chart Accurate~???

I found a chart of the KL engines, it was made pretty early, so I was interested to know if you think it is essentially accurate. Particularly, the power listings for the 2nd KLEZ and the 3rd KLDE, and the missing ECU information. Also, there is no p/n for the 2nd KLEZ and the 3rd KLDE "Air Met...

Re: MX-3 V6 'No Start,' no code situation . . .

Thanks for the reply. Here is the update: I determined cylinder compressions were only 120 psi now instead of nearly 200 as of not long ago. So, I went after the timing belt. Turned out the belt was fine, but had skipped 17 teeth! I assume the automatic tensioner failed. Then, soon as I fired it up,...

MX-3 V6 'No Start,' no code situation . . .

Actually, I do have one code, code 16, which I believe is for the EGR valve, but all that is new, and besides, would not cause a 'no start.' I started losing 20-30% of my acceleration/power a few weeks ago. I noticed some minor sputtering at idle, but didn't think too much about it yet. Yesterday, t...

Re: Need Diagnostic Help w/1999 Millenia 2.5L; 2 cylinders '

Well, whomever buys this car will have minty clean injectors I didn't intend for them to have; lol. What screwed me up for a long time too was the anti-theft system that disables the fuel pump if the key and remote are not together. In all of this stuff I did all at once (and never again) I also too...

Re: Need Diagnostic Help w/1999 Millenia 2.5L; 2 cylinders '

Aw shyte; on hunch just swapped ignition wires of the two bad cylinders. One now works! Yes, I must have been sloppy installing new ignition wires. Didn't pay attention to the numbers on the cap, bottom of cap, counterclockwise, is 1-2-3, so I assumed wrong, the top would be 4-5-6, when in fact it g...

Re: Need Diagnostic Help w/1999 Millenia 2.5L; 2 cylinders '

They supposedly did all that you mention. Looks like rails coming out; I did spark plug out test; no smell of gas from #4, do smell gas #6. Will use WD40 as you suggest after prying them up a bit, hadn't thought of that. I included a pack of new O-rings for them, and they returned rails with the ol...

Re: Need Diagnostic Help w/1999 Millenia 2.5L; 2 cylinders '

Before I shipped injectors out, I tried to remove them from the rails, found it impossible, which was one reason I decided to have them serviced (they had trouble removing them too; they called me and told me, because they said they would have to charge me an extra $5/injector for their extra time a...

Re: Need Diagnostic Help w/1999 Millenia 2.5L; 2 cylinders '

Disty cap decent; scraped off only a bit of residue. Will pull 4 and 6 plugs to smell for fuel, thanks. Yes, pulling Ignition wires 4 and 6 spark strong to the sidewalls of the valve cover all the way out. I think I smell fuel in exhaust, will try after running longer. Don't think there is smoky exh...

Need Diagnostic Help w/1999 Millenia 2.5L; 2 cylinders 'out'

Removing plug wires at Cylinders 4 and 6 reveals no loss of performance; Engine starts barely and will stay lit; removing plug wire at 2 will stall engine. Spark strong when pulling 4 and 6. New plugs, some soot on 6 and nothing on 4; 4 plug is totally clean when pulled. I think I smell some unburne...

Leaking MTX Shift Rod Seal ; Anyone here changed one B-4?

I have in possession a new seal and boot (the most expensive piece of rubber on the planet...). I looked up procedure on online manual here: It shows that the shift rod gets removed, which entails cracking the tranny in half to disconnect it internally. Doing this is too mysterious for my taste, not...
