Thanks guys that's what I wanted to know. My original suspension is getting a little worn out so it's almost time for a change

Great write up. I'm not sure if I just missed it but is yours set at the lowest possible ride height or could it go lower? How much lower? Thanks

Yup. Bought in brand new in July of '05 right after they first came out.

I've had mine for 6 1/2 years and would buy another one if something happened to it.

I just sold my Protg and I am considering buying a 2000 or newer MPV. Is the suspension in these interchangeable with any other Mazda models?

I'm not driving my car right now but when I put it back on the road in a few weeks I am planning on changing the O2 sensor. So we will see what happens then.

I finally used up a full tank of gas. I was thinking the fuel injector cleaner worked but I still don't think it totally solved my problem. The mileage has got better, I'm not sure of exact numbers right now but I think it could still be better. How far can you guys go an a full tank?

My math might be a little off but it's close. I put 10 liters of gas in when low fuel light came on ,set the trip meter and watched what it was at when the light came back on. I did it 3 times and each time was about 58 kms. Yup, I check the air filter. Alignment is fine the brakes don't drag...

Thanks for the advice. He started the car, plugged in a lap top and after that it was way over my head. Sorry I can't help more than that.

My friend had a look at my car the other day. He had 2 suggestions. The first was to change the oxygen sensors as the car has 126000 Kms and they both probably haven't ever been changed. The second thing he found was that one of the fuel injectors wasn't putting out as much fuel as the other...

I tried putting a 13" wheel on my 2000 LX and it did NOT fit.

Thanks Larson701. I had a look at your posts and it did give me a few ideas. I'll check the intake on mine tomorrow and a friend of mine is coming over Monday night to have a look at my car. I'll post anything he might find.

It is due far an oil change. The plugs and wires were changed about 7500 Kms ago. I had a look at them to day and they were look fine but they did have a faint gas smell. I might try the injector cleaner but the car is getting to much gas, it's not like the nozzles in the injector are plugged up.

Hi The gas mileage on my 2000 Protg LX with the 1.8 has recently got really bad. I figured it out and this week I got about 14 mpg. The check engine light has not come on, it runs fine but does have a very small fluctuation in the idle speed. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

I got a couple responses to my E-mails last week. Both the Dealership and Mazda Canada didn't really say much and didn't offer a solution. But today I received another message from the service manager saying he was in contact with Mazda about the problem and hope to ave a solution soon. So we'll...
