Replying to: girlcarbuilder (Jul 04, 2009 4:55 pm) GCB, thanks very much -- great info and confirms what I was thinking. I may end up using ramps instead as you suggest; I was starting to lean in that direction anyway!   Cheers, Stewart
#374 of 419 Need 1989 323 Wiring Diagram by lovelearn Jul 22, 2009 (10:07 pm)
We bought what was described as the complete 3-ring binder Shop Manual for our Mazda 323. Its table of contents lists the last section (50) as Wiring Diagram. But the last page in our manual is section (40) Special Tools. Could someone please scan in the Wiring Diagram and post it as an image file so we can download and print it to complete our Shop Manual?   Our 323 has the B6 EGI (not DOHC) engine with 4-speed manual transmission. I and my female friend who owns this 323 would be very grateful for this help. Her father bought the car new, drove it for a few years, then gave it to her. So its entire history is known. I has traveled 87 thousand miles to date. During the last thousand miles it developed a stalling symptoms like what numerous other reports describe. So I'm trying to chase down possible causes. We do not have access to the "SST" (Self Diagnosis Checker) tool and the nearest Mazda Dealer, about 60 miles away does not have one either.   Thanks for any help with that Wiring Diagram (50) scan. LoveLearn
#375 of 419 Unknown 323 Wire Pair Terminate near Injectors by lovelearn Jul 30, 2009 (8:43 pm)
1989 323 4-speed manual standard engine has a plug-in wiring-loom section with 4 plug connectors to injectors, 1 plug connector to block-mounted sensor, and two leads, one black, one brown, both of which were cut off of chewed off by some rodent. To what are those two wires supposed to connect?   Still need a wiring diagram image that I can study for this car, which section of our 3-ring-binder Shop Manual is missing.   Any help would be appreciated. John

Replying to: jjfranks (Aug 17, 2009 6:26 pm) I have not had much luck findind spare parts for these old 323's. I am in need of a driverside windshield moulding and a fuel sending switch for a 92 and have not been able to find one for ages. For now i just reset the tripometer every tank and just have no moulding there. Good luck in your quest. If you do find a parts car somewhere be sure to post for those of us still looking!

Replying to: sschmid (Aug 18, 2009 3:08 pm) This response is for everyone looking for parts. Most Mazda's hit the yard between 10-20 years. heavy around 15 years. Over the years, I have learned to stock up body parts and electronics, because after 20 they all become hen's teeth.   Now.....if you still have dealer contacts with a dealer who will dig stuff up that may still be out there, call him. You would be surprised what some of them can find. If not, try this dealer. diamond mazda. 1-800-527-0189. they have gotten a few things for me, but not cheap. I pay the price!   Also, on a rear bumper I needed for an 86 Toyota took me a lot of time searching on the internet. Finally found one after several days in a junk yard across the country.   Check every new and used parts supplier you can find. Look in parts catalogs. If you speak Spanish, try some places in Mexico. They run a few years behind us on parts supplies. It can be done, but is time consuming. Find out what other vehicles the part may have been used on. Contact places like LKQ and Pull a Part via phone and internet. Look for e-mail resources that may contact you when a car comes in. Pull a Part has that. The last 89 323 I saw was about 6 months ago at a LKQ. It has become tough finding parts, but there are still a few. Check e-bay motors for parts as well. You never know.   Happy hunting......

Replying to: shrub69 (Aug 20, 2009 4:35 pm) Check your gaskets you probably have an oil leak my car would always run on in the summer but fine in the winter. there is a gasket on the right side down under the distributor that seems to leak. Mine would smoke really bad sometimes. There is a Chilton guide ( I think that is what they are called) for them. That gasket is defective. I don't own the Mazda anymore.
