No other symptoms. It was just really bad this one day, suddenly. Then I managed to repeat it under heavy load. So far today it's run great again. Temperature is down again though - I have a feeling that had something to do with it. If it comes back then I'll see about getting a scanner I...

Unfortunately all I have is a basic code reader, so can't get a live stream. The EGR is electronic not vacuum. Vehicle is Mazdaspeed Protege 2003.5.

Hi guys, I hope somone can shed some light on this a little. First, I LOVE my MSP. I've owned it since new, it now has 96000 on it. It's NEVER missed a beat. It's been to the dealer every 5000 miles for oil change and anything else it's ever needed, it's never been modified. Monday morning...

I had one fitted before I picked the MSP up from the dealer. And I have to say, it's crap! I took it back after I first got the car, and they re-mounted it. It worked great for a week, then went back to it's surging tricks again. I think part of the problem is that the cable doesn't fit on...

Had it installed before I bought the car. On the way home from the dealer it locked my accellerator and I ended up idling at ~3000RPM! Drove back and they solved that problem, but it still didn't work properly. Lots of surging and you would soon get car sick using it. Returned it to the...

I'm no mechanic, but I don't think that will work. The guy who fitted mine had a hard time getting it to fit in the MSP. I haven't actually taken a look at it personally, but he told me the space behind is *very* tight. He had to modify the generic mountings to get it to work right. It's...

For me CC was a selling point for the car. I was about to walk out of the dealer and he suggested that they fit it before I collected the car. That was fine by me because I bought the car the day before I flew out to Britain for 2 weeks so was in no hurry to pick up anyway. The page he showed...

Sorry, I don't have a digi camera yet. The inside looks just like this one found in a nother thread.... http://www.mazdamp3.com/vbb230/attachment.php?s=&postid=348520

Just to let you all know, it got fixed. Spent 3 hours at the place that fitted it on Friday, it wasn't the dealer that did the work. Apparantly the cable didn't have a strait line to the throttle and he needed to re-mount everything. It all works just fine now.

Re: Re: Aftermarket Cruise Control Yes, that's the one. I'm still waiting for the dealer to get back to me about the missing stereo remote. I'll bring up the CC problem then.

Does anyone else have problems with their aftermarket cruise control? I had one fitted by the dealer before I collected the car, it looks just like the one on the "Cruise Control" thread elsewhere in this forum. But. It's unuseable. It works fine at first, but if you get to a slight incline...
