Sounds like a problem with the HVAC controls - dirt in the contacts or broken buttons - that kinda thing. You can probably take the controls out and clean the dirt and check if anything is visibly broken. Or you can replace the controls from another similar mx-3 from a junkyard. I do have a HVAC con...

I will try to get some pics either tomorrow or this weekend - it is not hard at all to do this - i had to waste some time to try and figure out the mounting and wiring etc - but since you guys have a starting point you can get it done pretty easily and i am sure you can do a better job than me. I ge...

I am still learning about mx-3s - so i am sorry if my advice is totally wrong - but my guess would be a blown fuse in the fuse box in the driver side leg/knee area. I blew a fuse called "room" in that box once - and i didnt get anything on the instrument cluster - but the car will start ev...

Yeah me too - i had idling and acceleration problems and changing the plugs solved the acceleration problem and improved the idling a bit - i am gonna try and change the coolant temp sensor to see if there is any more improvement.

No. They dont have anything to do with the door handles - these get mounted just behind the door panel and i didnt do any modification/drilling at all. The lock actuators just get hooked to the door lock rods - you can still operate the door locks manually from inside and use your keys from the outs...

I did notice a lot of power increase after the sparkplug change - but i think it is because the NGK 's that were in there were completely fried. And the ngk wires were another sorry story. I noticed that the insulation on the wires had kinda melted near where it clips on those 4 clip things on top o...

I have been to many mechanics in the past month and the only thing i can agree on is that they are full of crap and try to overcharge me 10 times as much.

The instruction for these plugs say they are pre-gapped and never try to gap them....

Bosch Platinum +2 sparkplugs

I changed my sparkpugs recently and i put this Bosch Platinum +2 http://partimages.genpt.com/partimages/84632.jpg - my motor is a 94 1.6L DOHC with ATX. I have seen a dramatic power increase since then and the motor is running fine - But a mechanic told me that these plugs are very powerful and prod...

i am a newbie i dont know enough about mx-3 yet - but could it be that there is no combustion in one or more cylinders and the fuel that was injected is just pushed out. The problems causing no combustion could be bad spark plugs, bad spark plug wires, bad distributor, timing issues or wrong air/fue...
