    Engine issues

    So my drive home from work was the first time since Sunday evening where the car did not misbehave at all. I got home, checked spark plugs, they*re fine. Cleaned the connector for the #2 injector despite no apparent issue in there, and it started fine again, nothing acting up.

    Power loss happens randomly, not always at idle. Does happen when driving, though winding out the RPM helps sometimes

    Would limp mode be intermittent and last after clearing codes?

    Code never came back, but I did swap the cpils for the ones in the white car, which have always been good.

    Okay so this all started a couple days ago, after I cleaned up under the hood of the car. I was driving and suddenly started to lose power, and got a Cylinder 2 misfire code. I managed to find a spark jumping from the coil to a bolt, and put in good coils and wires. Unfortunately I still get...

    MZDA WLF Proteg5 "build"

    Threw a few bits from the white car onto the black one over the past couple days. Swapped on the 2003 wheels/tires, the MPV wiper switch, and also swapped steering wheels so I don't have to grip one with sticky, deteriorating leather. More to come soon.

    Got a new car this past Tuesday (August 28), a Black Pearl 2002. Previous owner put it on Tein S-Tech springs, KYB struts, added a Magnaflow catback, eBay cold air intake, and did an HID projector conversion. A friend of mine and I are in the process of swapping parts from the white car over to...

    Okay so insurance paid me out, and now I get to post these pics. On July 9, a few days after getting hit, my car club did autocross at Sonoma Raceway here in California. I had a blast, and made improvements on my technique that really showed when I took one final backroads run in the car last...

    MZDA WLF Proteg5 "build"

    So I heard today definitively that my white car is being totaled. It*ll be very sad to part ways. However, I have found a replacement car that seems to be a good deal locally, and have enough left over from insurance to buy my white one for parts, so I can swap my big brakes over, as well as...

    Been a long time since I posted here* On July 3, I was rear ended in my car. I have been driving it since, but it very well may get totaled, meaning the project will move on to another P5. I have had some great times in this car both before and after the collision, and will fill you in on some...
