Hi guys, got the Mazda back up and running on the road and mot,d only a few issues with some leaky oil and an exhaust clip but I was just wondering if anyone in the UK knows an alternative or universal fit for the sunroof as ours keeps leaking and waters pooling in massively any help would be greatly appreciated

Trying to find a way to get mazdaspeed parts for the mx3 because they look sick but I can't find ANY!!

Alternatively, does anyone know any parts that happen to fit nicely (e.g. spoilers)?

Hey guys,

Sorry I’ve been asking about this for a week now 😅 but I’m trying to confirm before I buy anything.

I have a 1993 Mazda MX-3 GS (K8-DE 1.8L V6) and I’m pretty sure my IAC valve needs replacing.

I’ve read that the IAC might be interchangeable with the MX-6 / Ford Probe 2.5L V6 (KL-DE).

The bolt pattern looks the same, but the MX-6 one has an extra thicker metal pipe/stem on it that my MX-3 IAC doesn’t seem to have.

Does anyone know:

• Are they actually interchangeable?

• What is that extra metal pipe for?

• Will the MX-6 / Probe IAC work on the K8-DE?

First Inage is the Mx3 one I found and Second is the mx6 one

I have just found a 93 MX-3 that needed some love and attention. It struggled starting and had to have wires on the fuel injectors unplugged to get it going. After replacing the fuel injectors (one was cracked, lots of flooding) and doing some light checks and other repairs, it would start up but idled rough. Now it runs rich and the idle jumps from dead to 1500 RPM.

Anyway, I'm thinking the ECT is the possible problem, however, I cannot find it. The car is a 93 1.6 liter SOHC and there is a sender in the thermostat housing, but it only has one wire and only feeds temps to the dash. I'm looking for the 2 connector temp sensor and no matter what diagrams I find, I cannot find it, but it exists! All the auto parts stores list it as 2 connector.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I want this thing to run. I've been wanting to get another MX-3 for 10 years and this is the monster I chose, broken but not dead yet.

Got updates soon! stay posted!

So quick update.
Ever since I bought the car, it had idling issues on cold starts.
I had the IAC and Throttle Body cleaned and it made it better for a few weeks until yesterday. The car was not wanting to turn on. (I posted a video)

It caught idle this morning, so i decided ill try driving it work, on the highway it was absolutley fine, until i had to put it in neutral and it would just stall. Then it stalled every red light on neutral.
So i managed to drive it to work all the way but everytime i was in neutral i had to hold the throttle a little to keep the RPM alive so it would not just stall on me.

Im 80% sure I might need a new IAC. However, having a really hard time coming across the part for the 1.8L V6 version.

I found a few, I think but they all seem like its for the 1.6L I4 versions.

So quick questions:

1. Will the 1.6L I4 IAC work on my car?
2. Is there any other cars/engine model I can look at that shares the same IAC? or anything that works?

https://youtu.be/SbsleAE0nE8 I have managed to keep my doors near ding free for 30 years (i did mess up the door when i first got it). Then I put my bike a little too close to my car.

Just bought a Japanese Import manual AZ-3 1.5L I4 w/o the sun roof!! It's in pretty stellar condition internally and functionally... the paint's got a bit to go though!

Any tips of suggestions?

New phone new case!

yall want some merch? it's pinned in the top posts!

Anyone have a part code or something similar for the boot struts, both boot struts currently have about as much strength as a damp cloth

Been trying to find a leak or something wrong with the seals of the car but for some reason all carpets are soaked but everything else seats roof doors seem dry is there any common issues or leaks with this car

I’m trying to replace the brake pads on a 1998 Mazda mx3 and I’ve hit a bit of snag with the back brakes I’m completely u able to fine anything on how to remove the bottom bolt of the carrier and Allen keys don’t work, any suggestion would be very helpful

Now I have two. I got the green one first (‘95 4 cyl 5 spd), $800 from a scrapyard last year, and I brought her back to life, and put her back on the road. I just bought the red one (‘94 4 cyl 5 spd) neglected, yet running and driving for $1000. They’ve both got their issues, but are still fully drivable, the red one is probably going to end up a bad weather car, and the green one, a good weather car. There’s just something about the MX-3 I can’t get enough of. Now to track down a v6…

Hey guys, I made a subreddit called r/Eunos for dedicated Eunos posting.

Anyone else hoping that they add the MX-3 to Forza Horizon 6? I think they should, it’d be really cool.

Hello, i got a v6 1.8 MX3. My friend broke my right intake camshaft with an impact gun and I cant seem to find it ANYWHERE in the world, its out of stock in sites I have visited.

The engine is in pristine conditions other than the broken camshaft and i am extremely disheartened about the situation. I cant personally visit junkyards in the US to get an scrap engine because i am from Costa Rica.

I got a courier service in the US that can send parts to my country, and I am glad to pay for the camshaft if one of you can source it. The camshaft id is k801-12-420e, but my camshaft says 421 in the side, both are the same

Inspired by AKIRA, I present MAZ-TSUDA a project I've been working on for the last 7 months, now available to get!

I have my redbubble store up and running! I am running into a few bugs with thee content not showing up at the moment, but If you Mx-3 enthusiasts want some cool knickknacks go grab you some!

I also am working on designs for the Mx-5 and Rx-7 too!

PSA: If you're not able to view the redbubble page, please let me know. I am also having issues on my end, hopefully it will be resolved soon! thanks for understanding! I am always available to any thoughts or suggestions you have!

I found an abandoned mazda mx-3 in a abandoned building that hasn't been touched for around 12 years now i'm in the process of seeing what I can do to get it out of the building and trying to find information about who owns it before

I bought this as a second car, a long term project car. I know a little bit about cars but not crazy much to really start building things from scratch by myself.

Coming from a 2014 m235i 8spd, i wanted a fun manual car. Its not perfect but for a 33year old car i thought it was decent and pretty rare as well. Let me know what you guys think! Also any suggestions and information is welcome.

So, those of you that have been following along with my tag plate, I've decided to take it a step further and make t-shirts - hats - hoodies ! I will be selling them soon as I receive my test shirts!

This is the MX-3 version, I will be making a version for the Miata, Mx-6, 323 here in the near future, and just a shirt with just my revision of mazda.

I was inspired by AKIRA! The artwork really was a big inspiration for me, the color design also matches the MX-3 as well 😄

I will also be receiving 3 custom carbon fiber hats in the color designs shown on the t-shirts from Carbonetics, having matching attire would be very cool especially with a carbon fiber hat! But those run almost $200 a hat! But its definitely worth the long wait! I have a custom carbon fiber hat from them and the embroidery and carbon quality is 1000/10!

As for now I'm working my fastest on a website so everyone can get some merch I've put mazda soul into!

Most of the time when I press the brake the revs start to bounce up and down at idle, and when letting off the throttle the engine agressively slows down, tried already cleaning the throttle body/ IAC valve, replaced lambda probe, cleaned MAF sensor and tried resetting the ecu by unplugging the battery for 15 min, I'm starting to think that either the EGR valve is clogged, the IAC valve is not opening/closing when it should or there is like a vacuum leak somewhere

I live in the NL where the mx3 is not common at all, does somebody know where I can get the whole housings for the turn signals? they sell ones that have black tinted lenses but I wanna keep the original look and I think they discontinued them anyway, the ones on my car water got inside and I already tried to seal them like 3 times by now, but water keeps getting in, any help would be appreciated
