well i started assembling the new engine, and decided to replace a few maintanence items like the water pump, but then i ran into a problem, the mfg put the wrong hub on the water pump so yea my pully would not bolt up so had to pull ha;f the motor apart again. the motor should be in today. i will post some pics later today

Let me know how that JDM motor runs. You bought the 2.5 V6 right? I think it has 205hp with 195lbs tq? Am i correct? I am planning on buying one for my 626. Let me know when you get it running, id like to check it out and maybe even ride in it.
Also, i am in a car forum that deals all about 626's and probes.
www.mazda626.net
And one that deals with probes only
www.probeaddiction.com^^^
Those are good websites when it comes to tuning and ordering parts for the JDM V6.Like i said good luck and keep me updated with the progress.
3 things i couldn't live without.........
:3gears: -> :drink: -> :poon: -
yeah the wireing is all messed up on this car so today decided instead of trying to figure it out that i would try find a harness and i found one in GF at swanglers autoparts so that was pretty sweet, i had to go pull the harness out myself but that was ok it was a good thing to find one.
-
well i guess this car is turning into a little bit of a money pit, now i had to order a distributor for the car seeing as how FORD had a screw up with their distributors that if they get to hot they burn out or something so i figure if i replace everything now i wont have too many problems in the future, but its still cool that when you open the hood it says mazda on the engine lol i just get a kick out of that.
-
ok i need a little help so i hope someone out there can help me, i replaced the whole wireing harness, and distributor, but i can still get no spark, is there anything that i could be missing to cause it to get no spark. i have heard the crank sensor and i have replaced that too but still no spark. Please let me know any options.
-
maybe crank sensor is on backwords, bad plug wires, bad ignitor/wrong ignitor. not everything is connected right,
and last and most important is the grounds. my car did start and my dad did the last final hook ups while i was working and it didnt start. the problem was that the ground were not properly clean off

I need a new wireing harness for the car to run, i bought a harness out of a 1993 probe because i was told they were the same but now i find out that yes they will plug in but the pins are all in a different order. i was mad. so i need a OBD1 wiring harness for a 1995 Ford Probe. if anyone can help please let me know. thanks

The Probe is running Now after buying my third wiring harness it runs good but then the heater core was either out when we got it or it went out because it is leaking coolant onto the passenger floor. so i guess i get to basically replace everything on the car so hopefully no major problems in the future.
-
here is a couple updated pics of the probe, one is of the front bumper refiberglassed and repainted and the other is of the mazda motor in the probe I also got a new ECM with the KLZE Chip in it and the rev limiter raised to 8000 RPM runs decent but still a few problems to fix. but i guess that comes with any engine swap.
-
just to add, the pic of the front of the car the oil under the car is not from this car it is from the engine in the background on the left, that is a totally different motor swap in progress in a mitsubishi mirage. yeah because i was taking the probe off of blocks last night and backed into that motor so i got mad and picked the motor up and threw it outside and that was just some oil that came out of it.
-
not lookin to bad

i am still having one problem and that would be that i can not get the clutch to bleed properly. i have been at it for 2 hrs and i can not get it to have much pressure at all it gets pressure and then loses it so i am not sure if i am doing anything wrong. any suggestions. thanks
