    99 Mazda Protege runs awful now

    I wouldnt think it would matter really. My WOT/2step box has me tie them in together as one connection. So I wouldnt thing they would matter. Plus they are laid out in the motor in a loom right? Or has someone messed with that?

    99 Mazda Protege runs awful now

    They may or may not, really depends on who you talk to. Just tell them briefly what is going on and that you want to try a coil pack out. If it works make sure you can buy it right then though.

    How-To: Projector/HID Retrofit Into Protege Headlights

    Thats a pretty good writeup! Very details and informative. Prolly one of the best retrofit write ups I have read. Only thing I would like to add is the chrome reflector part of painting.

    99 Mazda Protege runs awful now

    Do as said above to rule out and firing issues. However I do have a question though, this said mechanic pulled 4 plugs and put them back in then you issue started, correct?

    I am personally happy with my SU mounts, then again my car really is not a DD. I will agree on the rear mount replacement procedure.

    Just picked up a mazdaspeed protege

    Sounds like my car before I got it tuned. haha Hell my car still doesn't run all that fast. Have we verified that this is not some kind of a vacuum issue? Or a boost leak? I chased one of these issue for a whole day thinking I really mess something up racing a WRX. I check lines over and over...
