    my p5 has a bad fuel consumption. what are the possible cause?

    Do you have lower power? Did you ever run the car for an extended period of time with a CEL issue related to a bad coil or dirty EGR? Is your upstream catalytic converter clogged by any chance? When mine was clogged, it blew out the gasket between the exhaust manifold and cat's flange. Fuel...

    What have you done to your P5 today?

    Replaced a fog light. That was kind of easy and kind of not. There are three 10mm nuts to remove, but one of them was not easy to get off. A regular 10mm double-ended wrench won't fit because of the spoiler, and a regular 10mm socket and wrench won't fit either because of this piece of sheet...

    Kumho tires, worth it?

    I've been using Kuhmo tires for probably 10 years on my Protege5. Not a lot of tire manufacturers make the 195/50 16, and if they do, they cost more than Kuhmo.

    Installing a volt meter. Where to attach wires inside car?

    The negative/gruond can be connected to a solid metal location on the car's body. The positive can be connected to the cigarette lighter plug's positive (if this turns off when the ignition is off).

    Lighting question

    Luminics are non-DOT legal bulbs. There are plenty of other brands you can replace it with for the same amount of illumination. Just search for ultra white or ultra blue H7 bulbs on eBay. The reason they are not DOT legal is because they are too bright compared to DOT legal bulbs. I used to buy...

    Front Pipe and Hardware

    Your motor mounts might be sagging, so the j-pipe doesn't align with the second cat's flange. The donut gasket doesn't seal even if you put a new one on and cover it with extra exhaust gasket goop, like I tried to do. Others have replaced the spring-based connection, and put a flex-pipe on the...

    Mototr Mounts that work with Inserts? MAP and Mass Airflow sensor

    As for the front motor mount, the DEA one doesn't accept it. It's shaped a bit thicker than the OEM front motor mount.

    Multiple Issues - could be coincidence, or connected. You decide!

    For problem 2, check and clean/replace your EGR valve. Check/clean the IAC valve. Check your vacuum hoses to see if they are cracked. If you haven't done so in awhile, replace your spark plugs, wires and coils.

    protege5 oil pan gasket change

    So, I replaced the oil pan gasket with the permatex ultra black. The 3.35 oz. tube is more than enough. Let it dry for 2 days. It was dry after 1 day. I filled it with oil, drove it and it's not leaking.

    protege5 oil pan gasket change

    Hi, just a quick question. I bought Permatex Ultra Black Maximum Oil Resistance RTV Silicone Gasket Maker It says it provided maximum oil resistance so I bought that instead of the gray, blue, red, or other gasket makers. Anyone else replace the gasket on their oil pan? What did you use?
