    My junker '93 needs a radiator

    Thanks for the input. I'll probably go with a local parts place for the ease of it, but I have some time to wait for shipping as it will be the next weekend before I can install the new radiator. I'll be curious if someone on this site has experience with any of the eBay merchants.

    My junker '93 needs a radiator

    When I say junker, I mean my son's BMX bike is easily worth more than my car. Pulled into work this morning and the radiator was leaking out a pin hole in the top. I try and keep expenses on this car to the bare minimum. Local parts places are all selling a radiator for the same price (A.Z...

    Water Leak

    Man, water leaks... Was still chasing the leak and finally plugged it yesterday. I pulled the trim off the passenger window pillar and pulled loose that corner of the headliner. Water was coming in at the top and following the trim down to the dash. So one very annoying issue resolved. Now...

    Water Leak

    Nice call on the drain holes. Both sides were very clogged. I was able to unclog them now I just have to wait for rain. Water is too expensive here just to check for leaks. Thanks, Gary

    Water Leak

    I haven't been running the A/C. Thanks for the quick reply. Are there obvious places to check on the firewall? I lifted the hood this evening and water is pooling in a flat area at the top left of the engine compartment if standing in front of the car. Just below the lower plastic windshield...

    How much can I get?

    Well, I paid $1350 for a '93 with the following known bad items: Front brakes, shocks/struts, needs timing belt done. It also has hail damage. I was in a hurry so paid more than I should have IMO. I think $1000 with the known issues would have been a more appropriate price. Unfortunately...

    Water Leak

    1993 Protege 4D Bought it used recently and have discovered there is a leak. The water comes in on the passanger side and drips near the top right of the floor mat. I'm in Colorado so we don't get a lot of rain, and so not a lot of test cases, but it only seems to leak in my driveway which is...

    1988 distributor question

    Update. The distributor came in and it is an exact replacement for mine. It included a dual port vacuum advance valve too. I installed it and my '88 is running again, though I need to find a timing light. It will be up for sale soon. What price would you guys put on the following? 1988 323...

    1988 distributor question

    It was on ebay. I won the auction for $36 including shipping. A good price I think and worth taking a chance on. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

    1988 distributor question

    Just got to work and am reading replies before I _start_ work. FWIW I appreciated being pointed to a forum that deals with my year Mazda. When I first searched for Mazda forums this was the closest one I found so I posted. In any case, I also have a 1993 Protege so its not like I'm going...

    1993 Timing Belt

    1993 SOHC Protege I see a note for a special tool (49 D011 102) that is used to hold what looks like the crank pully in place while the bolt is removed. Can I get by without this tool? I've chaned the timing belt on a 1988 323 and didn't find that to be too much trouble. I'm planning on...

    1993 Trunk Springs

    I have a 1993 Protege and the trunk will only stay open if parked on level ground and the trunk is opened all the way. It looks like there are two bar springs that are used to assist in opening the trunk as well as keeping it open. Any tricks to this or are these springs simply worn out? Gary
