Mazda MX-3 and Mazda MX-6 These two sporty models have become popular cars for import tuners due to the availability of parts, the low price, and the smooth lines.

Talking MX3 Running AWESOME!!! i fixed it!

okay so last night i sold my 94 accord, so my mx3 became my main transportation
so it was running super funny and it had a half a tank of bad gas so i dumped the gas put a few gallons of 91 octane and a bottle of Lucas brand system cleaner, it ran better but still not good so i looked up the firing order, wrote down what it was at just in case and then checked and number 2 and 6 were switched on the alternator so i switched them to spec and now it runs AMAZING!!! gonna take her out on the road right now and see if that helps the whole shifting thing also before i got i'm gonna check out the AC might need a charge but i'm considering turbo-ing this lil 1.8 V6

Cool! Great job!

I have to keep "check firing order" in mind when people have a rough running engine!
