    does the 02-03 protege /p5 cut off fuel when coasting in gear?

    you probably wont see any noticeable difference in fuel consumption in which ever way you choose to drive. The reason you cant coast as long for in gear ,as you probably already now, is engine braking. Since its cutting(no fuel energy) the engine is using the cars kinetic energy to run. if...

    how do i adust throttle on 02 p5

    Typically it's idle control valve that gummed up if you are having issue. Remove it clean it with a carb/throttle body cleaner and reset the ecu. It'll idle funny for a while but that's just the ecu adjusting it self. There is a throttle body adjustment screw on the top of throttle body, but...

    a few questions...

    Haltch allows you to raise the rev limiter as high as you want it's capability is mainly limited by how accurate the trigger and home sensors are rather then the ecu it self.

    Engine area makes a clicking noise while idling

    Our cars have solid lifters so valve tapping is normal even a rebuilt just reshimed engine will have some valve tapping. Obviously if the sound is super loud there is something wrong.

    i probably spent some where in the ball park of 1500 on the short block alone. i was only able to do it that cheap because i spent around 6-8 months looking for everything trying to find the best deals and new open box parts. I also do all my own work (apart from machine work and welding) so...

    626 FS-DE replacing a Protege 5 FS-DE

    I think you hit the nail on the head, ive heard the 626 cam gear only has 1 magnet. In order for the engine to run it must have 3 magnets.

    motor build?

    My injectors are RC# SH4-750. The work perfectly but with some modifications. They are taller then stock injectors longer screws are needed. Youll also need to double up on O-rings at the top. And obviously youll need connectors too. With the platinum series ecu it gives you the option of...

    motor build?

    Look into RC injectors, they're popular with the honda guys so they can be picked up used dirt cheap. i picked my set of RC 750cc for $120 locally. I didnt have any issue getting it to idle properly with these.
