Alright CheeseHelmet, We changed the EGR canadian one from the dealer, you were right about the price and all.... works fine now! :) The rpm tach does jump when decelerating... otherwise its running nicely, smoother.... than before.. I really appreciate the help on this... On the old EGR, I...

This probably won't help, but for us, the adjuster screw, seized with the canadian winters here... salt etc.. in Quebec hehe... Point is we bought ours from the aftermarket parts store, was a little more expensive, but its a daily driver for us... but then with autopartsway you would have to...

Hi, I've got the classic liners in another brand sedan, and I find them to be really good, contoured, fit nicely, and protect quite a bit of the carpet area. For me it was price that made me get the Husky over the Weather tech.

Alright, so we tried accessing it today, pretty challenging to get too, tomorrow we're going to try again to remove it. If we get a jobber one, that should be good enough? I did read somewhere that there might be some revised version... forgot to mention our EGR valve is rusted up pretty...

hi there thanks... ya we're in Canada too... but EGR would cause starting issues too? I don't know how well it works but surprised that it would...

Alright, so today, we tried doing lots of things according to the forum, and service manual... Tried disconnecting maf, idle did not move as much, but car still ran rough, misses, stalls at times... rpms down to zero.. hard to start, other times easier.... We changed the plugs, cleaned out...

hi there again... the gauge seems fine, good to know though..... haven't cleaned the egr, due to reading more on the thread, and access.... and bolts might be hard, break.... We are going to look into cleaning the IAC, like in the post on the EGR cleaning.. We also sometimes the car is...

thank you for the quick reply.... contacting, wiper and rod is located where about? I'm going to have to look at the service manual.... for the wire things.... the EGR cleaning might fix our idling problem? thank you

Hi there, We have a 2002 Protege 5, with ~102000 km, and lately, about a set distance from a cold start, (sitting overnight) the car will want to stall, idle rough.. until we put in neutral and step on the gas. This happens at a stoplight.... as stop signs not sitting idle too long. It does...

Hey sorry for the late reply, BoostedPR5 - We didn't replace the mounts, we figured they were still in good shape. We have to try the sway bar you mentioned and will get back to you. SocialStealth - lol at fitting in the trunk, we can look into. Thank you very much

Hi all, We have a 2002 Mazda Protege 5, with around 85,000 km on it. Over the past few months we noticed a clunking noise while going over bumps at slower speed, let's say under ~40km/h. At least about 70 km/h we do not hear anything over bumps. These occurs from both sides of the car, as in...
