Engine Identity!

So I was doing some research and came across an engine type chart. I know it's in the FAQ, but there are some things in there that people disagree with. I was wondering if there is an acknowledged difference between the American spec K8 and the Japanese spec K8. The chart showed a difference saying ...

Re: My Second MX3!!! 1993 SE!!!

I'm currently in Salt Lake if there's anyone nearby. I'm going to be moving to Rexburg Idaho so I'm out here signing the best contract I can get. Starting college soon so my work on the mx3 might increase although I can't say how much with two kids and a beautiful wife. Biochemistry degree here I co...

Re: more kl swap questions...

Yeah... I was just looking at the oil light on the dash :wink: assumimg that whilst it was on there was no pressure. It went off though after letting it run ten seconds at a time till it turned off. I'm not sure if that method works the way I thought it would. But it runs ok now. I might do the oil ...

Re: more kl swap questions...

Alllllllriiight... I got it to idle smooth for about an hour and drove it about a mile to see if it can keep it's idle after a bit of load. But, before I did that, I tried to get the ignition timing perfect. And to my surprise, rotating the disty does nothing to adjust the timing. Maybe I'm doing so...

Re: more kl swap questions...

Still reading no oil pressure :cry: I think it's the sensor but I'm not sure how to tell if there is still pressure with no gauge. And go figure, one of my coolant lines has a slow leak. One of the thicker ones under the TB. That'll be fun to replace. But, any experience on the oil pressure? I tried...

Re: more kl swap questions...

I would love to have time for that :P maybe I can squeeze it in before I go to Idaho in October.

I'm sure it was on top of the IM. And trust me. I'm just as confused. I'm hoping some daylight will help me figure it out.

Re: more kl swap questions...

ha, I just realized we live about a five hour drive apart. Just thought that was funny. Anyway... I changed the distributor and as soon as I cranked it it started. My oil pressure gauge didn't read anything after ten seconds so I turned it off and waited a minute and then cranked it up again. After ...

Re: more kl swap questions...

Awesome! It turns over like a top! But there doesn't seem to be any spark... I had a spark plug tester but I cannot locate it. There are exhaust fumes (or some type of vapor that smells like fuel) and the engine just spins

I will check them as soon as it's light outside! I'm to the point where I'm starting to think that it was a bad idea attempting this by myself and without any prior experience...

Re: more kl swap questions...

ok... :twisted: that's how I feel at the moment. I turn the key and not even the fuel pump primes. Nothing works except for the beeping when the door is open and every time I take the key out the oil light comes on and will not go off until I turn the key to start the car again (which still, does no...
