@mickthemaverick Thanks for your reply I will see if I can pick one up on eBay Regards Mushman

Hello, I have had the same problem and after loads of phone calls to Mazda HQ i found out that each year for the mx3 v6 they changed some of the colours of the wires. The bulk of the wire colours are correct however there are a few that i have had to open the wiring loom to trace. With regards to the factory manual, make sure that your VIN is covered in the manual that you have as there are different ones. Some of the manuals have red covers, some have blue and there is a rare one in green, as told to me by Mazda HQ. I have seen the red and blue however mazda never allowed the green out of there sight. The only other option i can think of would be to obtain the microfiche for your car. Thats what i have done and i use them at the library to get information and printouts.

People have tried the swap on the obd2 loom and have run into all sorts of problems. You're best of swapping the loom completely if you have the skills to do so.

@Marco, great, thank you. Is that on the 3 pin plug? Cheers Jono

Hi again Lori :) Iirc?, if your'e setting up TPS using feeler gauges, ie mechanically, you SHOULDN'T/ DON'T need to jump TEN + GND!!! Think in doing so, what you've done while setting TPS up, is you've taught the ECU all the movements you made as you opened throttle etc to slip feeler between throttle stop etc? I bet if you do a code pull it will flash '12' at the very least??? I would: Do a code pull to confirm above. Disconnect Battery NEGTIVE lead, press brake pedal for 10 seconds, (to reset ECU & clear codes). WITHOUT jumping TEN + GND!!! re confirm your TPS idle position ( ie; bottom 2 pins of 4, connect ohmeter, circuit/continuity/resistance with 0.15mm feeler inserted, open circuit/ NO continuity/ NO resistance with 0.50mm inserted. Tighten both screws. RE FIT TPS connector. RE CONNECT battery NEGATIVE lead. NOW jump TEN + GND, start engine in this mode allow to warm up and adjust idle speed WHEN warm if nessesary?. 8. Switch off, leave TEN & GND in place, connect your LED, turn ignition switch to ON only and confirm NO codes show? (led's RED lead in B+, led's BLACK lead in FEN). IT MUST BE A STADARD 12V led!! NOT A FLASHING TYPE Turn ignition off, remove LED and TEN & GND jumper. restart engine and test drive to confirm adjustments? Wow that's my typing fingers fooked for a while! :( Hope you can de sypher this and it helps??? :? kev b.

When it was in the boot I ran it inside close to the sills along with other wiring. Think it may now be wired inside door sills. Will re check and post some pics for you.

Does anyone know what wires they are attached to the loom? While I'm off work I wanna get these wired up, and I can't read a wiring diagram for shit. I've found these here: http://www.mx-3.com/manuals/showimg.php?file=/1995 Workshop Manual/Z/Z-000d.gif http://www.mx-3.com/manuals/showimg.php?file=/1995 Workshop Manual/Z/Z-032.gif This reads to me that Red\Blue (R\L) Black\White (B\W) Black (B) Are the colors loom side and Black = Signal. Gray = Ground. White x2 = Heater. Are the details sensor side. But which ones connect to which?

Happy days, the sooner the standards hit the bin the better. Thanks I just wanted to check the clearance, I saw the links to the converters in another post on here somewhere.
