If your car is still using a distributor, your computer should
still be using an 8086 ;)
It is a 1994 Mazda Protege. I LOVE that little car. I get about 30 MPG
and it runs good. I changed plugs in it one time a while back and when
looked into the hole, I saw something shiney. I thought I had dropped
something in there somehow. Naturally I wanted to get that out. It is
a DOHC engine so it has that long tube to where the plug goes. After
some checking, it was the top of the piston I was seeing. I run Marvel
Mystery Oil in the gas and it is so clean in there, it looked shiney.
It may have almost 200,000 miles on it but I would rather have it than a
brand new car. I'm thinking about getting a distributor made by a 3rd
party. Maybe they will have a better sensor than the one Mazda makes.
I just don't want to have to change anything else so finding a drop in
replacement should be fun. Affording it should be fun to. Cheap they
ain't. :/
