    2003 Protege5 exhaust modification question

    I have an NC 2.0 Miata. Manual P5 sounds best. Then my auto P5 Then my Miata All are stock exhaust and engine. P5 engine just has a little more of a growl... difference doesn't come from the exhaust. So, I would say if you use the same exhaust as a Miata it will sound at least as good if not...

    OBDII Checks not complete after 3000 miles of driving

    Update... I could not get the lower OBDII sensor off :( I did put an extender on the upper one (but that one is new and I don't thin kit is the issue. Did Drive Mode 1 and then drove at @ 50 mph for about 30 minutes. Catalyst Mon still not complete... Plan... 1) Just keep driving it 2)...

    Transmission engages slowly into D (not until warm). All other gears ok?

    Maybe neutral safety switch gets stuck? But that usually throws a code.

    OBDII Checks not complete after 3000 miles of driving

    That's an Italian tune up and is probably a good idea to be done every now and then to help clear out that EGR. Yes, that is drive mode 1. I did that and then if you look at the other drive modes they are all drive at 50 in 5th gear or 40-60 in 5th gear, or accelerate up to 40-60 and then...

    OBDII Checks not complete after 3000 miles of driving

    Well... I am at 1200 miles and the Catalyst Monitor is still Incomplete. Emissions is due in about a month. No CELL, no pending codes. I did try driving in 5th gear for about 30 minutes this weekend. Still not complete. Only thing I can think to do is to put the non-fowler in on the lower...

    OBDII Checks not complete after 3000 miles of driving

    I did get it off w/o any issues. I had replace the top one a few years ago. Bottom one is at least 5 years probably older. Still waiting for the I/M OBDII checks to complete.

    OBDII Checks not complete after 3000 miles of driving

    Thanks, I had previously gotten this code as a pending and as a confirmed (cleared and did not come back). So, I think it's time to replace the upper 02 sensor. Hopefully the old one won't be too much trouble to remove. If the code still comes back with a new 02 sensor I'll try the...

    OBDII Checks not complete after 3000 miles of driving

    So, I had unhooked my battery to do the Man Trans Motor Mount and after 3000 miles the OBD II checks still are not complete. I have had a pending P0421 for the last 1000 miles or so. CEL has never come on and P0421 just stays pending. Any ideas on how to solve this?

    Protege5 Motor Mounts - Time to do them

    There really isn't a good way to tell unless you remove everything. If the other's were bad it is a good bet that this one is bad also.

    Protege5 Motor Mounts - Time to do them

    I called the dealer they are two different part numbers for the two cars. But $288 instead of $40-50 for afermarket. Well.... It worked :) I think the guy above could have gotten it to fit if he just wiggled the engine a little bit. Both SKP and Beck/Arnley right motor mounts for Auto trans...
