Dude, I've been working on this for about 2 and a half years now. If you noticed my last post you will understand that is pretty much impossible with these cars. I would check your MAF code in the service manual to see a list of possible causes. I believe the website is floptical.net

And like wagon said, the Genesis wasn't much better from what you were saying.
 
wow...a problem that you created and your mad that the car isnt running right?
if it was running right before the clutch, and then after it starts running like ass then Im assuming you ****** something up.
 
This car has been an ongoing headache.
I'll be settling mysrlf into a 3.8 Coupe. The 2.0 I would never deal with again.
the msp has been fun for the 5 days its run right. Buying this car was a major error in judgement.
 
I find 90% of MSP problems are poor maintenance, lack of understanding, lazyness, or other operator error.

Its an enthusiast car, and if you don't pay attention and do s*** correctly, you'll end up with problems.

As for the genesis... how did you have issues not covered by a warranty already? That confuses me.

I do alot of work on my car, and it always has issues popping up. So its the MSP the the user lol! And some MSP's are flawless for some reason (i know a few) others keep having small issues over and over.

True. Mine has been well maintained (since new, I didn't take over until 68K miles so I don't take credit) and isn't beaten on daily. Yes, it popped a diff. Yes the rear bushings went, yes, the HU and amp blew, yes, the WGA leaked. But all of those things were dealt with, and it runs like new (aside from fuel cut in the cold). If you start modding heavily... you're pretty much asking to break s***. Don't b**** about it, its expected. lol I've paid 2 grand in repairs to keep a car on the road for 40K miles. I can definitely live with that.
 
Bingo!!! My P5 has been the most reliable car for me even with around 350whp :) in its most recent years!
One thing that was a benefit to me was starting off with a haltech when I originally crossed over instead of being stuck with the source of most problems... the finicky mazda tune!

Mostly because of this forum...lots of help and inspiration and unfortunately the need for more boost which is a little teeny bit addictive ;)

If I could afford a new car with a warranty I wouldn't drive or buy a 9 year old car that is known for having problems.

Right on. I actually miss my MSP ALOT. It had tons of problems and I'd still take back getting rid of it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, I have a new beast to pay off (and she will be by the end of the year) so who knows what'll happen.

sure you would. It just wouldn't be your daily driver.

Exactly.

Also the only problems I have had have been self induced. I can't race the car, beat the living hell out of it everytime I drive it, neglect replacing a wheel bearing, then b**** when it costs so much to fix the axle, spindle, and bearing. Which is the only problem I have had, and I have almost every power bolt-on available.
 
i didnt start having big issues till here lately. but the car now has 215k miles on all orignal components. have some wierd noises, a water leak, 2 blown ksports, and a messed up driver seat. but guess what that just means its time to spend more moneys(when i get it) fix noises and leaks, replace the blown ksports, speed3 seats, and a fully rebuilt motor....


which btw i have most of the gaskets to rebuild a motor....now my descion comes into play.


a)rebuild the junk yard motor i get and throw it in and forged my 215k mile motor and have to rebuy all the gaskets....

or

b)save another $1kish buy the forged goodies and throw them in the junkyard motor and drop it in and hope the 215k motor doesnt go

and today i got my bumper sag fix brackets in the mail
