yea the stock resonator looks like a box and the walker looked like a bulge in the exhaust tube. I looked forever and finally cannibalised a resonator from a protege - it has been quiet since.

For me there was a difference in sound - the stock one was very quiet while the walker one was considerably loud - especially at highway speeds.

Simple fix is to put the stock speakers back on - they have better bass response and are not raspy at all.

Otherwise get some high end speakers.

For bass at low volumes - you need an amp and sub.

No its not no 3 - the distributor o ring is behind all that right next to where it connects to the cam.

There should not be any oil in the disty.

yes - B6 engines do not have a crank position sensor - they only have the cam position sensor in the disty - 95-98 1.8L BP engines have the extra crank position sensor. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BRAND-NEW-92-93-1-6L-Mazda-MX3-Ignition-Distributor_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33690QQitemZ200086124...

Check the under side of the disty - the o-ring usually leaks and drips onto the tranny case.

Re: hmm

ok, i put it in with the spring part inside the motor, and the jiggler valve up, is that right? That sounds right - other than that you may have air in the system or headgasket issues. Open radiator cap and let the engine run for a while (with the heater set to max heat and fun to full) - any air t...

extending o2 sensor wires is generally not recommended - the sensor output is only 0-1V - adding wires will further drop the voltage making the ecu think that the engine is running lean and dump more fuel to compensate. But if you must extend (only a little bit)- i am guessing 8-12 ga wire should be...

You can only access the pins that connect it to the ecu. If you need to replace it you need to replace the whole maf. If you are going to mess with it to install "power" chip - the pin names are in the online manual.

have you checked for vaccum leaks - does this happen all the time or only when the engine is warm/hot? Does it work ok if you accelerate very slowly? - if ues check catalytic converter....

Also try normal maintenance like plugs, wires, cap, rotor etc.
