My 95 1.6L seems to be randomly dropping a cylinder, both at speed and at an idle. It lasts for 5-10 seconds and then full power is restored for 2-3 minutes. You can feel it drop out at highway speeds, like it just lost its power. Then it'll kick in again and off you go. If it drops out when stopped...

I've been kind of thinking that the Del Sol looks a lot like a MX-3 without the hatch, from a profile shot anyway.

While I was replacing my radiator this weekend, I managed to break off the little vacuum nipple on the side of the air box. I've plugged the line for now and it seems to be running ok. What is that line for? Perhaps I should have left it open since it just feeds into the airbox which is open. This i...

D'oh. I saw the cap, but I didn't even think to try to pull it off. Don't I feel silly.

I found a GS at the local junkyard that still had the rear tie bar, so I want to grab it for my RS. However, the entire bolt spins as I try to take the nuts off.

I'm might also switch the front emblem, or totally de-badge it since I've got a bit of rust starting in the...

Hi All, Finally, after wanting one for 15 years, the planets aligned and I found myself with a '95, 1.6L Auto in my driveway. While I would have preferred the 1.8 manual, MX's are so rare around here that I wasn't going to be picky. It's for my wife anyway, but I still get to play with it. I've been...

I just picked up a '95, 1.6L a couple weeks ago and have been in the process of bringing it up to snuff (ball joints, tie rod ends, fluids, belts, etc). All going easy enough so far. This is my first MX-3, so I'm pretty green on some of the particulars. Is it normal to be able to compress the rear s...
