still got the grille? EDIT- I need the front bumper if you have it too. Its for an mp5 right? and would take the grille if you have it and have a pic of the gap you talked about earlier. Thanks.

yeah the EGR doesn't come with the bolts. On a side note before pulling the EGR and since its rainy season aka summer here I just remembered I forgot to reset the ecu after the install. I did the reset and now the car almost*** doesn't do the hard idle it feels almost like new. But there's still...

Hi guys i was able to get my hand on a 1/4" inch ratchet and used a 1/2" socket for the screw. Took about 45 minutes, however I think i put the gasket on wrong as the car idles worse when turning on during the hotter times of the day and idles beautifully at night. The gasket has a triangular...

hmmm can you recommend a 1/4" ratchet? i found this one but its kinda pricey http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00925479000P

Got the EGR pretty fast. Ordered Friday morning and got it today. I'll attempt installing it later in the week, never thought i'd end up enjoying some of this mechanic work lol.

This sounds interesting, did you ever do it?

EGR- got EGR from rockauto (~$93 shipped). I may keep the car for only 2 more years & the other EGR seemed like more of a head ache. BELTS - done by mech (already had the car there by the time I posted) IACV CEL- Mech got this error, couldn't find used part so only cleaned it car improved...

ok i did some searches on the forum and found this: 1)Canadian EGR In a thread which was for mp5's it said this one was good, however i see in the page that its for a regular protege and not mp5 don't know if the part fits?? 113$ 2) Canadian EGR under the protege5 search comes up different and...

yeah, i do agree with you guys. The mech said the computer gave an error code for the IACV while he turned it on after the belts and if i wanted it changed. I think i will just buy the EGR online and the IACV online but try the egr first since the IACV is about 210$ and EGR 100$ give or take. I...

Thanks guys i will look into all this. I had been eyeing the EGR valve cleaning how to on the forum, so i'll have the mechanic change the belts and then i'll take out the EGR to clean/change once the belts are completed (just do it myself b/c of money) and i was also thinking of changing the PCV...

well didn't even get a chance to sea foam it. I replaced coil for the cylinders 3/4 with one of the old ones and left a new one on cylinder 1/2. The car started working a lot better. I drove it around for about 30 miles and it did great. However after i left it sitting for about 2 hrs the...

I believe they are NGK mechanic changed them. The MAF I changed so i wouldn't expect it to be dirty. Seafoming might seem like a good idea but i'm not too confident in putting all that into the engine which already struggles and then have it start. I will look into how to check for air leaks but...

Thanks for the advice but I just changed them today. The problem actually got worse. I was able to drive the car for a short test run parked it and tried turning off and on and the idle problem was worse than before the coil change. I used 'intermotor' brand from advanced autoparts i'm not sure...

Hi guys newbie here. I have a huge problem with my MP5 '02 ~107k mi. I changed the clutch, master & slaves cylinders a couple months ago. A while after the car started idling rough and subsequently when i would turn it on it would go first to about 1000 revs and then start going abruptly from...
