Mazda MX-3

NO. Gates belts has a list. This engine is not interference.

most spark plugs are pre gapped but it is good to double check them to make sure thay all are the same.or call autozone they will tell you over the phone.

The motor on the Mx-3 is an overhead cam engine. Due to the nature of the Mx-3 overhead cam engine, the lifters never need to be tightened. There are spacers in between the valves and the camshaft that do wear out, and will need to be replaced every now and then(many miles may be accumulated before this needs to be done however). Any Mazda dealership, or Mazda certified mechanic can do this, as it takes special tools/knowledge to do so.

The lifters are also hydraulic and automatically adjust. If they are colapsed try using marvel mystery oil.

== == == == 1.u need to jack the car up so u can take the passenger tire off. align the crank timing mark to top dead center with the front timing belt cover. 2. u need to loosen the crank bolt with am impact wrench, or secure the flywheel and lossen the crank bolt .3. u need a 10mm short 1/4 inch socket/or wrench inch to loosen the (4) water pump nuts. 4. i now recommend u loosen the alternator, u do not need to remove it. 5. if u have air-conditioning..i suggest u leave it on. remove the belt 6. powersteering can be loosened as well, 7. once u remove the crank pulley..u can take the 10 mm blots out of the timing belt/water pump covers.u will also need to support the engine(under the oli pan is ok) and remove the upper passenger side motor mount. 8. u will now see the timing belt. u need to remove it by loosening the tension pulley (14 mmm bolt) .u should make sure the crank is tdc. but u just need to make sure that when u re-install the new timing belt(whichu better do when u do a water pump)...,make sure the exhaust and intake cam shaft pulleys are aligned.(exhaust pulley is front side of car, intake is rear.)(e-for exhaust,i -for intake....they're aligned at center of each other (center of engine)now i must take a pee,brb in a minute. remove timing belt now 9. remove (5) 12 mm bolts from water pump. clean surface. 10. re-install in complete reverse order.i do recommend u use a black rtv gasket sealer on ur water pump gasket.(screw manufacturers statements on this use). tart with taking your two belts off, remove motor mount, remove power steering pump, crank pulley,next remove timing belt covers along with tensioners. Remove valve cover. timing belt tensioner, now you have access to the water pump. remember your timing marks before you remove. When installing timing belt hold camshaffts with vise grips to align. installation opposite of removal.

First of all don't remove your belts until you loosen the bolts on the water pump pulley. I didn't have to remove my p/s pump, just worked around it. I didn't remove my valve covers either, I just had someone else hold the cam gear bolts with wrenches.(NOT VISEGRIPS) you don't want to scratch your cams, or leave metal shavings in your heads. But other than that the previous info is pretty much correct, still recommend a manual.(I used a haynes) worked great after I was done. Not hard, just time consuming.

It's a 15amp Fuse located on the top left corner of the Fuse Panel inside the Cabin under the Glove Box. No tools needed, just undo the 'Shroud' with the 2 knobs, this will expose the Fuse Box , just pull it down and swap in a good fuse and you should be good to go.

This car does not have a spotlight.....

In front of the radiator.

I haven't been able to find.

its located on the floor behind the consol underneath the dash

rigth below the air filter box

anywhere between 20-60 depending on material

Easiest is to pull off the bottom rad hose, drain the coolant & refill with water, run it and drain again. do this a few times and it should come clean after a bit. When done drain the system and refill with mixed coolant (50/50). Be carefull not to burn yourself with the hot fluid!

In order to remove the alternator on a 1.6 liter four cylinder you will have to remove the a/c line going into the car located on the passenger side. Then you will have the room to remove the alternator from the car. There are 2 bolts holding the alternator in 1 on top and the other on the bottom. This is a fairly easy job should take about 15 - 25 minutes to complete.

40 mph max

there is a plastic cover above the tail light held on by two screws. remove that and simply pull the tail light out.

3 1/2 quarts

it cost me $600 (Canadian dollars) at a mechanic for my v6 mx3. the engine is an interference design so the valves will be mashed by the pistons if the timing belt breaks so it's worth doing if you want the car for a while.

at the thermostat housing. follow the upper radiator hose you'll run right in to it.

i know on my 95 theres a simple drain plug built in to the radiator on the bottom on the pass. side. I think its a plastic 10 mm bolt.

when your trying to start it try flooring the gas pedal, i know its fuel injected and not carbonated but there is a natural choke when trying to turn over, im only 18 and might not know what im talking about but it works for my 93 mazda mx3

either the piston rings are worn out or a valve seal has been burnt up

A rotary steam engine was a fire engine basically

1-3-4-2 distribitor rotation: counterclockwise

The first thing I would do is check the weather stripping around the sunroof. Replace it if necessary. If that doesn't work, check the glass for cracks and have it replaced, if necessary.
