    Major Protege5 Problems - Please help! Flashing CEL/Misfiring/OBD Non-Op

    Not sure if youve purchased the intake tube yet but theres one fs here and hes in the LA area also (boom bump!).

    Major Protege5 Problems - Please help! Flashing CEL/Misfiring/OBD Non-Op

    Coil packs are usually a good start. You can clean the egr and try it because thats free to do before buying a new one. Definetly change the coils plugs and wires. Some guys on here go with duralast because of the warranty. I bought some and they lasted 20k and 1 died giving me the same symptoms...

    weird issue

    flashing check engine light is bad it means parts in engine will fail soon and you shouldnt keep driving it. it sucks to hear but guys and gals on here have had bad coil packs right out of the box so one failing after a few thousand miles isnt unheard of. get the codes read and try replacing the...

    ouch !

    sounds like your car has several issues. first the oil consumption - like others have said its an internal engine issue. smoking on start up is usually valve stem seals. smoke while running is probably rings. that equates to engine work. you can try a thicker oil and see if that helps but it...

    The first 6 months in my P5

    i am refering to the top mount. if you open the hood and look at where the strut mounts to the fender you will see the 4 bolts and there should be a dab of paint or a marker near one of the bolts. i think but not certain mine are pointing to the left side bolts closer to windshield. i believe i...

    The first 6 months in my P5

    I am assuming your car isnt lowered based on you buying pre assembled struts. that being said do the new struts have a small dab of paint or a marker on the top of the strut mount? the originals should have had a mark and i seem to recall when i did mine that the mark is important for an...

    Mazda 6 Front Brake Caliper Upgrade

    I believe the i and s models are a 12" rotor and the mazdaspeed is even larger. both fit the protege however the speed brakes require the use of a 17" rim minimum. not positive but i think thats what ive read. also some places advertise parts for a spped and they are incorrect or on backorder...

    New rim advice!

    the rims you posted are off about an 06 mx5. they are 17 x 7 and kinda hard to find.they are called a split y. they fit a p5 no rubbing with 215/45 and pro kit and will match your paint perfect too
