Ok finnally got my buddy to bring over a timing light. jumped TEN and GND and manually set my timing. Now for the wierd bit. after restarting the car it was still having the same problem that it would die if i tried to give it some gas. Just for the hell of it i decided to let if idle and keep ...

I'd Love to but unfortunalty the CEL doesn't work. Either the bulb is burned out ( doubt it ) or the previous owner disconnected it. thanx though its something that i forgot to mention earlier

Alright great job on the brainstorming but i need to ask for a little more. The grounds are good pulled each spark plug out and held it against the cyl. head and got spark. So there went that hope. Well i pulled the disty cap off and hcanged the position of the rotor and she fired up kinda rough ...

Hey thanx for those suggestions so quick but i've used a spark tester and have solid spark from the disty through the high tension lead (already been through about 4 disty's caps and rotors to get a combination that would work for now). also today i've took each plug and held it near the strut bolt ...

OK i've got a Klze that will crank but will not turn over. I've got to plug wires, new plugs, new disty, new VAF, 2 new coolant temp sensors, IAC valve read within ohm from the tech man, Compression all with in 15 psi of each other (160-175 not the greatest but it should still run with that), New ...

Ok Gro Great call but unfortunately still didn't fully fix the problem.... my question is where is that other sensor you your talking about i found the obvious one right next to the coolant fill did the resistace check and it was 22kohms and was indicating 216 degrees. replaced that and then the ...

Ok well it wasn't running at idle at when it was warm. Took the new distributor back to kragen and got yet another one. Installed that one and purred like a baby. Took that one up the steet to get it up to temp came back to park. while waiting in the spot it started to choke out hit the accelerator ...

Ok Its time to ask for aome more advise. Ok so far i've replaced Plug wires, cap, rotor, and as of last night the distributor. Now for symptoms it seems to want to run cold but as the engine comes up to temp cuts out and dies. Now i'm wondering if i might have a bad ground problem somewhere that as ...

Here's a little more eye candy to add

This might not be want you want to hear right now but using another face on your exsisting deck has about a 10% chance of working. most stereo faces are "keyed" to a particular deck. i used to work at a stereo shop and believe it or not i had to replace several decks just cuz the face was missing ...

http://www.furiousnights.com/ is the websight for it. But also as it seems as i was checking it there seems to be a bit of mis information stated earlier. from what i noticed its going to be at the coors ampitheater on the 26th not Pomona. I know that this will probably deture some of the further ...

I honestly have to say this is a shame. Your posts have been some of the most helpful for a nobbie like me in getting through my ZE swap. as well as a learning more about the MX3 in general. I really do hate to see you leave the community. But i can also see why your a bit pissed at those not ...

Ok Well I'm Set on Showing up for the Furious Nights on june 26th. I'm Hoping that there will be some more willing to show for this. If there is anyone that knows the pomona area that way we can meet be4 we goto the show that'll make it a lot easier. Hope to see ya'll ther :2thumbsup:

I'm Still running the stock k8 vaf and i'm not throwing any codes no problems other than previously stated.

I'm Currently Running an mx-6 ecu until corksport can send me my klze ecu. But The only thing that i've noticed is that the timing in lower rpm's isn't exact and can seem a bit sluggish at times but over all it works and i don't get that bad of gas mileage out of it.
