Sputtering

Re: Sputtering
funny, i got the exact same problem yesterday when i threw a ms8 manifold/TB on....
1992 Mazda mx3 gs / 03 / ms8 intake manifold / klze 67mm bored TB/ Custom CAI / 2.5 Custom exhaust / Drift kit front and sides/ CF Invader hood / 17'' MSR gunmetals with chrome lip / Tockico Blues / Suspension technique springs / Leather interrior/ B&M SS / Fully customized interrior (Red and black) / Corvette Red 00 Paint w/ white,blue,gold pearl / Shaved altezzas w/ black trim/ Front rear strut bars / ze ecu ( I think that's all )
Re: Sputtering
95% probability it's vacuum leak. Check the ribbed hose between the VAF and the TB first.
Re-shaped and re-sized gearshift lever. Best driveability mod you can do!
Extra thick soundproofing in the boot (trunk) to quieten my stainless steel exhaust system

Re: Sputtering
Could be a bad O2 sensor. A check of the engine codes will tell you.

Re: Sputtering
It's easy enough to check yourself. Just put a jumper wire between ten & grn on the diagnostic connector and turn the car on. The check engine light will flash the code. The connector is right next to the brake booster under the hood.

Re: Sputtering
This is good info for any MX-3 owner to know. also clearing of the computers memeory. Disconect the negative battery terminal and press the brake for 10 seconds. This will whipe all codes from its memory.It's easy enough to check yourself. Just put a jumper wire between ten & grn on the diagnostic connector and turn the car on.
