sucks when troubling problems like that happen. Do you think its something internal. Shame theres no another fellow mx owners near you to try and help out swapping parts.
yeah i think it is internal. it has been like it since the second day i owned the car (was owned by a girl before for 5 years so probably never got above 4k lol). I have stuck some STP injection cleaner in the tank today and filled her up. will report back if there is any change to the hesitation though i dont hold out much hope
until then carry on the the GTO thread pmsl
1JZ? i thought everyone wanted the 2JZ engine, no shit! :lol:

2 snails stuck to it ;)
Im not even gonna dignify that with a response, except to say that Im not going to dignify it with a response.
o rly, that seems like an overreaction!
Maybe this will help:
The other one kind of just pokes his head out from near the firewall.
Here's a local one with some serious effort put in:
-
Angry snail poooowaaaa FTMFW
-
Sounds like the crank sensor to me.
I've ot a spare somewhere too, but its in my lockup in Wales.
Won't be up there until after xmas.

have a few lying about. £5er posted if you want it Dan. Complete failure of this causes no start. Have a look at your own first, it's beside the dip stick where it meets the block. Held in by one 10mm head bolt.

Thought you actually meant snails for some strange reason, never heard turbos refered to as snails…

:oops: more important fix is needed first… just checked my tyres and oops... 2 of them have canvas showing.... anyone heard of or used maxis tyres. I can get 2 maxis fitted with valves and balancing for £120. or should i just buy some part worns..
-
Parts worn should cost you half that and if they can match brands up front and have enough decent tread its probably worth it. I bought one the other day that has loads of tread on it for twenty quid!
-
Yeah £20 is the going rate, usually loose though, contact some breakers yards. the one in dorchester (angels autos) does part worns inc fitting for something like £25, but you always want to inspect any part worns for signs of damage like punctures, cracking and sidewall bulging. Or failing that, check ebay for someone breaking an MX3 or MX3 wheels, theres always someone somewhere selling off a set of 4 wheels with tyres.
-
£122 for four wheels, for tyres and delivered to your door…
-
thats expensive lol. mine sold for £25 but without tyres so i guess i cant complain. I can get part worns for a tenner a piece but thats without fitting. fitting and balancing would be an extra £16. just depends on how much tread is left on them and if the have 205/55/15's in stock. its a strange size tyre
-
Or speak to a national tyres, they are usually pretty cheap cos they include fitting, or for the future, find yourself a garage that will fit the tyres you supply, cheapest Toyo Proxxes T1-R's I could find was at national tyres for 4 tyres it was £331 inc fitting, looked on camskill, got 4 tyres delivered for £265, then paid £25 to a friendly tyre place, total cost, £290, so saved £41.
-
yeah i know someone in the tyre trade who just happens to be a maxis main dealer lol. he has always fitted the tyres i supply for a small fee. dont think i can afford new at the moment so might just get some part worns to get me going again until i can afford a set of 4 new. also need the tracking doing at some point as it has completely worn the inside of the tyres out to the point i can count the strands in them pmsl
-
Most indipendant tyre fitters will supply and fit 2 part worns for £50 for the mx-3. Its an unpopular size which keeps it cheap.
**Have you got a CAT on your car?
If the CAT has collapsed, blocking the exhaust it can also cause the problems your describing.**

thanks admin, i had already thought of that so i got the cat off and loads of the inards fell out so i knocked the rest out with a piece of pipe and a lump hammer lol. so you can rule the CAT out im afraid. I have explored most of the avenues i can think of, so far to no avail.
2 new tyres (part worns) for a whopping £12.50 each and another tenner for fitting, valve and balancing and now i have a NEW problem…
now the tyres were slightly bigger but i am almost 100% sure this will not be the problem (205/60/15's).
since fitting them i have an extremely hard break pedal and the abs is kicking up under light breaking, the breaks are hardly working at all and it feels very dangerous to drive now. is it possible that one of the break pipes has been crimped or perhaps an abs sensor has been knocked. i dont understand how the sensor would make the pedal hard though.... i am scared to drive it. I will get the wheels off again tomorrow and have a look. despite the pedal being hard, if i press it and hold it the pedal goes ALL the way down to the stop. I am confused how a tyre change could have gone so terribly wrong.

sucks when troubling problems like that happen. Do you think its something internal. Shame theres no another fellow mx owners near you to try and help out swapping parts.
1JZ? i thought everyone wanted the 2JZ engine, no shit! :lol:
If you are talking about GTO's and that level of cash to buy then you are not talking about 2JZ money you are talking about 1JZ. Having already been in both VFM the 1JZ does indeed kick ass up to 160mph, above that you want 2JZ but where in this country will you get near those figures anyway. For the money I'd also be looking at a sorted 200SX with 400 horses. For now though the OP could do with fixing or selling the wagon he has now!
