@chris.mp5 i used the same method you used to hold the bulb snug with the clip. I ran it like that for a year with no problem. The bulb itself does get very hot, but the backing plate part of the bulb doesn't, so it won't melt the rubber.

i believe that is the connector for the purge solenoid valve. The valve is located on the right side of the engine.

I am experiencing the same thing too. Is this a big problem tho? Like if I ignore this problem for now, what are some likely consequences?

Hi guys, its been a while since this post. Some updates is that. I finalized the problem, and it is being that, whenever i turn on my a/c for a while, the shifter gets stiffer. It is a lot better when its raining out side or when its cooler but when its like a hot summer day with the a/c on for...

Hi guys, I recently bought an intake and I installed it this morning. After the installation, there is one thing that is not connected to anything right now and I have no idea where it goes or what it does. It is just hanging around right now. The location of this thing is the gold color piece...

@StealthWyvern Thank you for the linking. I found that link too, but i wasn't sure if the p5 and msp (or regular protege) are completey the same. :) @CheeseHelmet I just done it today, to me it seems a lot smoother, and now I will just have to wait and see if my mpg will increase. :) Thanks...

when you are in stop and go traffic, your shifter also get stiffer the longer u stay in traffic? Were you able to get the stiffness of the shifter back to normal by using the clutch when still in traffic? Because no matter how many times i use the clutch i can't get it to reduce the stiffness...

@rage87 Hi, does your reverse grind when u try to put it in reverse when that happens?

@Flav can I check the tranny mounts by just looking? or do I need to jack up the car or something? @yangsui Hi, I checked my brake/clutch fluid before, its pretty full :)

Hi Flav, I checked the front engine mount. It is not torn and it looks pretty new.

Hey Brian, hmm, i thought about that too, but i just can't think of why this happens. Cuz it drives perfectly fine with no problem when theres no traffic, so I am really confused. My mechanic said to tow it to his shop next time it does that, but then I can drive it to his shop but the car will...
