Vehicle has been sold. Spicy #1291 has gone to a very good new home. I hope the new owner has many years of enjoyment with her. ;)

Well, I've decided it's time to send the Spicy on to a home where she might be properly updated and cared for. Didn't want to bother with a dealer trade-in, I would rather sell it to someone here who might have use for a well-used, but well cared for MSP. The details: 2003 Spicy Orange...

151400 and limping along!

NocturnalSpeed - Great thread, pics and comments. I am amazed at how clean your ride is, especially on these dirty Houston roads. Last update was in July, it's September now. :) How is the build going? Inquiring minds are waiting! ;) I don't post much, mostly lurk. I'm currently...

Bigray1111, I had the same issues several years ago. Fuel pump needed replacing. Cured the Bank 1 lean code and all of the other CEL issues I was having. See my writeup here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123731423-need-some-help..&p=4331183#post4331183

I had some related issues several months ago that turned out to be the fuel pump. See my post on it here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4331183&postcount=6

Pump was about $120 if I remember correctly.

I had the same issues you describe. It was the fuel pump. See my post on it here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4331183&postcount=6

Or, it may be you fuel pump. See my post about here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4331183&postcount=6

Fuel pump is a fairly easy fix. See my post about it here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4331183&postcount=6

Might be worth pulling the fuel pump. I had a constant P0171 that went away for good when the pump was replaced. See my post on it here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4331183&postcount=6

Don't discount a fuel pump problem. I had the same horrible bucking and stalling/ lean CEL issue with a bone-stock MSP. Replaced EGR, MAF sensor, coil packs, plugs. Issue was still there, no vac leaks either. When I pulled the fuel pump, the problem became apparent. See my post about it here...

Thanks! I can't claim it all as my own, my reference material was lots of excellent information posted by others here in various threads.

Appreciate all the input guys. Thanks!
