If there is no code stored on the computer - the light wont flash. Easy way to test that is unplug a sensor and run for a few minutes which wil definitely store a code in the computer. Also if the test light is polarised then B+ is positive and FEN is negative.

It wont be easy as a breeze - if thats what you are thinking. I dont know if we have to swap harnesses or the existing harness already has connection etc. The main parts required will be the buttons on the steering wheel and cruise control on/off switch (on the dash), cruise control computer and the...

Definitely replace cap & rotor if you dont know when they were last replaced. If you have access to a known good disty then you can clearly rule out the ignition module (maybe buy a disty for testing and return it?). You need a timing light to check timing - most part stores lend those for free....

Here are some common first steps -
- Perform normal maintenance (Plugs, wires, rotor, cap)
- Check for vaccum leaks
- Check timing
- Reset ECU

If its an option at all - you can go to a junkyard and rip out the cruise control system & harness from a junked mx3. That would be the cleanest way to install. I have a 95 protege as a parts car and i am thinking of ripping out the cruise control system from that car - if it succeeds i will wri...

Yeah, I understood that. The coil was difficult for me to test, but I don't see how having it in the car would effect anything. It was disconnected (not a back probe of the wires), so it should have behaved like the manual sais. Anyway, my first suggestion still stands, find a known good one and se...

Yes it will look clean because the valve cover is pressurized and oil if leaking usually kinda sprays out towards the bottom. I had similar problem in my DOHC - i replaced the gasket (while the original looked great - but i learned later that it had expanded and lost the ability to seal when the en...

If you are sure that the compressor is gone - you can get another compressor from ebay or local junkyard http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2F&fkr=1&from=R8&satitle=mx3+compressor&category0= http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=...

There are two small screws on either side of the adjustment screws holding the whole adjustment mechanism down - you can take them out carefully, clean and lube them. I didnt have any luck with one of those setups because when i took it out it just crumbled into a lot of white powder - but the other...

Did you test it with the disty still attached to the engine? Take it out completely and test it. I agree with pat - its a good idea to get a known good disty - it will definitely help you localize the problem. One common problem with our distys is a bad ignition module - search for HEI mod.

Usually the ignition module is the one that fails (in the disty) and the HEI mod is supposed to replace that defective module. Unless you are entirely sure that the Cam Angle Sensor and Ignition Coil (rest of the disty components) is toast you can probably safely do the HEI mod and salvage your disty.

Sort of raspy high pitch - not desirable at all. The stock resonator combined with a walker muffler produces a nice deep sound (only when accelerating)...
