How do you stop a 1993 Mazda mx3 4cl from dropping in RPMs when driving or nearly dropping to zero RPMs when stopped?

Not sure if it's the same problem as my 93 GS, however I changed the PCV valve and that did it for me. About 12 bucks at Crappy Tire. or your local auto parts store.


When its cold it idles high and has a hesitation at higher rpms. code reader says PO171. Whats wrong?

PO171 means your fuel system is running too lean. In other words you are not getting the correct fuel air ratio to bank 1. It could be a vaccum leak, a faulty 02 sensor or even clogged fuel injectors. I'd start with the vacuum leak first. Get a piece of 3/8 hose and use it like a doctors stethascope to try and find a hissing sound. Good luck
