Try run one of those power house injector cleaners next tank of gas. It sounds more like fuel to me than spark, especialy being as you have replaced almost all of your ignition system, the only possibility left there would be computer related (not likely with no code) or coil (you could check for a ...

Hmmm, try F2-048 of the online manual, could be a different fuel problem other than the filter. My car has a similar problem 94 v6 140Km. It sometimes stumbles and has less power on acceleration but usualy kicks in when revs get higher, but is still a bit short on power. Other days its a flying mach...

If you check the mileage ratings for MX-6 and 626 you'll notice little difference, the MX-6 geering is more performance oriented though.

A little larger may give you some top end too large will just loose you your bottom end. There are figures based on how much HP you create, but I couldn't tell you what they are. I remember reading them when I was into Austin Mini tuning. You see within a certain margin, it takes a given amount of f...

If you use genuine Mazda oil filters they are supposed to have a valve in them that stops the oil all running back into the pan while sitting. I expect that if I left it for a while it would still drain though. K&N filters are supposed to have the same thing. If you do experience the dry start p...

I put THICKER oil in my engine and it quitetened my lifters QUITE a lot. 15-40 Mobil 1. The theory is that thinner oil gets in better, but thicker oil stays in better. Also the bottle recomended that weight for high performance engines. bonus

I don't know if you solved this yet, but low compression in one cylender can do that. if that's you problem it might not get any worse quickly though, in which case you could just live with it.

Hi, I put a K&N stock replacementy filter element in my car, (the stock paper one cost $60 and the K&N was only 90 and never needs changing) It popped in perfectly actualy easier than the stock one because it is a little thinner. I didn't notice a significant power increase though until I re...

funny how that when working on a car that you can install a deck chair under the hood in all the extra space, it takes less time to get parts out! Perhaps you should go for a 82 Chev pickup, there's lots of room to work on those too, and parts prices, you can't beet a Chevette, pleanty of jokes to m...

That's great to warm up your tires if you are racing, but not if it's cold out and you are late for work. [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

If you read on in the manual you will find that you can check that they work without load, but to test accuracy you need load especialy for the 3500ish setting

The deal with pipe size is that if you run bigger pipe than your engine needs, you will gain nothing at the top and loose some bottom. I'm not sure what the best size would be for an MX3, I guess it would all depend on what else you have done, the more HP you have the more gas you are gonna need to ...

My mechanic said that it took him 5 hours on his MX3, that's a in a pro shop with all the power tools and a hoist, so in the back yard I'd expect it to take way longer.

The Mechanic couldn't find anything. Is there anything else it could be? I took a long right hander today (freeway onramp) and got loud booming all th way round, I'm wondering if the right/left thing is just because of where I drive, by nature rights tend to be tight and lefts not so much. It seems ...

Hi Dave, would it be possible to put the taller fifth in an MX-3 Box to just get a nicer cruise and better fuel mileage without killing acceleration in the other gears? or put a MX-3 Diff in a 626 box for a similar effect?<P>Road noise, The worst culprit for that is usualy tires, next time you buy t...
