MX-3.com

Hey guys , I just sold my mx-3 yesterday , the person who bought it loved the car, but a day later she says it starts and after a few seconds it dies. She drove it from my house to hers, about an hour everything was fine.

It's a 1993 mx-3 , has the KLZE engine swap ( Had it for a couple years )

The car has about 220k miles, but the KLZE has about 45k.

I sold it with no warranty, but I wanna be fair, it's been only a day.

What could the problem be? I was thinking something with the CPU , the car is confused? idk.

Thanks ahead of time.

Check the mass air sensor. see if any air leaks

i will try that, any other suggestions?

I think she also said if she hold down the gas it won't die, but i'm not sure.

i would say either a vacumm leak or electrical (disty/ground)

It looks to me as EGR problem. Pull the codes to confirm.

I wonder if she left the oil cap loose.

egr has nothing to do with how the car runs, you can run a ze all day long on a k8 ecu with no egr and it wont have any issues, egr is for emissions.

Maybe it isn't a ZE. Not the first person getting fooled....

deff. the vaf.....check for any leaks around it in the air intake like stated plus check the wiring plug that plugs into the vaf, ive notived after time they seem to just fall apart....
