rich idle

[92mx3babe]

Hi everyone,
Feel a little foolish asking this, since it seems to be a common problem -- but is there a common fix? I have a 92 GS, totally stock, 85,000 k (I live downtown) with rich idle. Have just gone through humiliation of flunking DriveClean and disty replacement -- any relation? Also, is $40 CAD really the going rate for mx-3 air filters? The honour of MX-3 is in the balance here ... my boyfriend is trying to foist his (ick) Toyota on me....

yup $40.00 CAD is it, EXCEPT!!!!! due to my superior knowledge of all things automotive, I know of 1 company that makes a cheaper filter.

"VIPER" air filters, it is the same quality as factory mazda, thick plastic body with white paper filter medium.

"Vaughn Automotive" sells them, Vaughn auto is located just off Jane ST. north of HWY 7.

Its kinda tuff to find it cause its on a side street.

My cost on the filter was either $12.00 or $20.00, cant remember right now.

if Vaughn is too far you could try some local auto parts places and ask for viper filters.

Now at my old shop we would sell the very inexpansive filters for FULL mark-up, so if the mazda filter was $60.00 and cost us $40.00 we would get the $12.00 viper and sell it for $55.00.

so to get the loest price you should go to the auto parts store and not a local auto repaire shop.
