Hello mx3croatia.
What is wrong with your english? It is much better than my croatian.

Does your mx-3 have the single (SOHC)or dual overhead camshaft engine( DOHC). US version used the single cam but can never tell in other markets from around the world. Early to mid 1990's Protege used the same engine as the MX-3 here.

Was afraid it might be a DOHC engine. Mazda did not off a dual cam engine for the MX3 here in North American market. Only the 1.6 sohc 4 cylinder and the 1.8 V6. Would still expect that Protege would be your best bet for finding an engine match.
