Ok, so I tried my hardest to see if this was a fixed issue on here, and on google, but hadn't found anything. My mazda6 is losing about a quart a week, and puts out HUGE clouds on the highway (high rpm). The breather hose on the valve cover isn't fully connected, and not sure if that is the...

I have an 01 protege MP3, which I swapped the ECU for a MSP ecu, and afterwards the P2009 code showed up (Intake Manifold Runner Control Circuit Low Bank 1). This code was not present on the previous, factory, ECU. Does this have anything to do with the fact the vehicle is not boosted? Or was my...

I have a 01 MP3, ordered new axles from Autozone (unfortunately), and Im pretty sure they ordered the wrong one. Is "MSP2 suspension" the thicker axle for the msp/mp3 layout? also what would the part numbers be? They dont give specs for the passenger side axle and when I ordered it looked to be...

I dont want to seem rude, but I am 100% positive it is the ECU. I have two MP3s and replaced one with the other that runs perfect and the same code come up. That was after checking pins 93/94 for full continuity from the sensor and also buying a new sensor for it, as well as tracking the wiring...

Sorry for bringing this back from the dead, but this answered some of my questions and left some unanswered. My MP3 ecu has an issue of throwing P0031 no matter what, diagnosed it completely. That is the only issue however, so would flashing this ecu fix the issue or is this an issue with the...

Thanks for the reply, Im just trying to get the vehicle safe with the limited amount of money i ave since Im in college right now. Im going to rebuild the engine eventually I was just hoping there was an easier fix than the piston rings. I have about 80k miles on the engine but it was a salvage...

On the oil burning, this also happens at high rpms. Revving engine or driving above 5k causes oil to burn and smell.

Hey everyone, Im needing to fix my car before I head out back to college. Two issues; one engine, one suspension. If you guys can figure it out youre amazing. Engine: burning oil on cold startup. I replaced valve guide seals along with spark plugs and valve cover gasket, the smoke was then not...

what are you getting at?

sadly, no. Just a trunk of tools

Yea I tried it again today both gravity bleed and with a helper for a normal bleed. No fluid came out. Drove about 10 miles, after I pulled and released the e-brake my caliper began to act the same way.

Oh wow, I had no clue on the requirements for posting, i don't have enough time right now to set it all up, so MODs can go ahead and delete the thread if wanted. sorry

I put a new engine was put just into the vehicle, the Racing heart rims are painted black, The rear bumper does have a crack above the muffler, and there are some spots showing rust repair(?) around the wheel well (this is extremely common for Proteges in the midwest, I just repaired my own and...

I know this may considered a Brake and Suspension topic, however this is performance in my opinion. 2001 Mazda protege MP3, rear brake calipers. During this winter car worked fine, as soon as the temperature outside reaches 65F+, the rear Passenger side caliper locks up, starting the drive...
