Just Bought My 1st MX-3

You mean a BP, or a K8?
Anyways, as far as I know, there's no difference at all.

I'm glad you finally got it.

It probably came out of a 1.8 sohc protege, look for a stamping, if it starts with f, you are good to go, if it starts with g, you might need to swap axles too because then it would have came from a 1.8 dohc. You should just have to swap on your speedo cable and wire up your neutral switch and reverse lights and be good to go.

it was def. an mx-3....the manifold was looked really weird on it. i put the trannys up next to each other, and they looked identical, so im not sure about the axles and all......i didnt look for the markings...

well i got everything all buttoned up. everything bolted up real nice, it was smooth operation.



still got a CEL, but the car runs smooth as a whistle.....not the fastest thing in the world but everything works. lol. i really like this car and how i got it to turn out.

thx for all your help and directions, it really helped out (yes, even you, uncamara)

[Inodoro Pereyra]

Congratulations!
Feels good to know YOU did it...huh?

[beefmobile]

oh ya you better believe it. never got held up by any snags, usually you run into a few. now i just gotta clean up the interior and it'll be all set for a DD.

[Inodoro Pereyra]

I do believe it. I have experienced it.
Best feeling in the world. Now your car stopped being a machine to become your "baby".
Enjoy!

Glad things worked out for you. We love to help, but we also love to say SEARCH.

You'll catch on if you stick around.

Check the codes please. It could be something simple like an O2 sensor.

you're refering to mx3kids's thread right? hahahaha

well the light went off, i think after i reassembled everything, cleaned out all the connections, and got it running after a few weeks, i think it just needed a few drive cycles to realize whatever was wrong had been corrected. quite normal for that to happen
