Was the coolant smell post flush or any work? If you spill even a small amount its possible for it to smell bad for quiet a while. If your are positive it smells of burning cooland and not just coolant pop you hood and start smelling around after driving, this will give you an idea of where on the m...

Better late than never eigh? If your HHC ppm is to high your car is either having trouble igniting all the fuel or your cat is not functioning well. Even in a rich running situation a cat will clean up a lot of it, but it can only do so much before it starts to take a tole. If your getting smoke on ...

If a belt is too tight it will whine, it sounds almost like a supercharger. When its too loose it will squeel, OR if the belt is too old and the rubber has gone to poop. If the belt has squeeled more than once or twice its best to replace it, think of it as your belt having done a burnout everytime ...

you do not need to take it apart, just be sure the diaphram works (you can suck on the valve) and be sure there are not obstructions of the flow. Last EGR i worked on I used a bent fork to clean out. Usually when you work on a car and then there is problems afterwards you need to inspect every part ...

If your going to do forced induction down the road I would not bother with it. You will not get eye popping results so I would just set the money aside you saved from this to get a turbo/SC setup faster.

I have a 95 mx-3 1.6L DOHC and i was wondering if there is supposed to be a flex pipe after the header? I also just discovered that my header is almost cracked in half. Some parts of the exhaust were replaced before i bought the car and i was wondering if they did not put the flex pipe back in plac...

I had to replace my header because it was cracked and i was wondering what the big cylinder thing is that the header is bolted on to? I was told it was a catalytic converter but it doesnt look like one. :?: If you have a 94+ or a california model yes its a cat. If your manifold has short runner and...

If you want to play with the stock rev limiter do a search, in an old thread I posted about how to raise your rev limiter. The link was from a miata forum and i have since lost all my bookmarks and really do not feel lik digging it up. Basically they replace the crystal in the ecu and raise the rev ...

It does give a lot more juice and would help with emmisions and add a few hp, just you woudl have to either convert to a standalone or change over to a diffrent ecu to pull it off properly. If you used OEM equipment you would likely have to convert the car to obdII which would be more trouble than i...

Its really easy tp get carried away and over tighten them, after its tightend you want to be able to twist the belt about half a turn, if you cant its usually to tight. Too loose is better than too tight as well, it destorys the blet, if its too tight it will destory the alternantor.

If its stripped use some vice grips on it or some form of heavy plyer that can get grip, from there just pry the pan off. Grinding off the old bolt will mean you have to remove whats left of it from the old motor as well, or risk haveing a potential weak spot for an oil leak later. You might smack i...

the stock temp gauge stays in the normal right in the middle, but i think my timing is off cuz i can hear a whining sound. no i dont mean from working on it, i notice when i check my oil or whatever. We need a better idea of what your asking, motors operate at over 200 degress F. Also the harder yo...

You should be fine, just dont crimp the hose or have to excessvily change the hose lengths.

i never played much with tips speifically, although mufflers is a diffrent story. You can get withresults with a 20$ glass pack that will not sound too ricey. The motor makes the sound so its hard to get away from what people think of as "rice" sounds.
