Alright well i got the MAF cleaner from the store. I sprayed it on and reinstalled it. One strange thing i noticed was one of the screw's holding on the MAF were stripped so i had to drill it out. Anyways i think it made it worse.... Does that mean i need a new MAF? What else could the issue be?

I can go and buy "brake kleen" at the store. No issue. I am by no means a real mechanic, backyard mechanic for sure though. I did the whole V8 Rx-7 by myself. I don't want to spray some stuff on a sensor and mess it up though. However, I know what the MAF is and where is at. If i mess the senor...

Issue solved with a new rubber boot as suggested. However, there is an issue that still remains, perhaps as a result? See here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123851587-Issue-with-bogging-no-check-engine-light&p=6410543#post6410543 Thanks!

Hey fellow Mazda owners, So i have a 2000 Mazda protege 1.6L standard. It has 167000 KM on it. I had an issue with the car that threw a too much fuel code. I fixed it by replacing the rubber boot thing that was behind the MAF sensor. I guess it had cracks in it that allowed air into the car...

There was one pic i couldn't post of the engine mount due to it being over 2MB. But it looks as the first two pics do. There are not any cracks in it or anything like that.

Here are the pics of the intake tubing. Not split through but as you can see there are definitely cracks. Also the Engine mounts looked good as far as i could tell. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/706-53473-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=&icep_item=120809360817 This part is affordable.

Excellent thank you, i was just about to order the sensor when i saw this. I will take the rubber acordian thing off tonight and take a good look for cracks. I will also check the engine mounts.

Okay so i sprayed water around the accordion part and the vacuum hoses and did not see any sort of air leaks. Prolly spent 15 mins on it in total. I wasn't able to check the exhaust but it does sounds quite and like there is no leak. The code left for a bit and then it returned and has been...

Is there anyway to test the sensor for proper function before i go ahead and order one? I'm thinking of this one: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/New-Direct-Fit-O2-Oxygen-Sensor-Replacement-Pre-Cat-Upstream-/151362159804?fits=Make%3AMazda|Model%3AProtege&hash=item233de344bc&vxp=mtr Thanks

After the code was reset the light came back on after approx 100 KM when i was on the highway cruising. I checked the air intake out, there were some small cracks on the large bendy black hose that goes form the air filter to the intake but they didn't look like they went all the way through. I...

Okay i got the code, only jiffy lube would do it for free. The code is P0171. The guy told me this was a lean air/mixture ratio. He said it likly had something to do with the fuel system and it being blocked somewhere or having issues with some kind of fuel resistance. A google search brought...

Okay ill see if i can figure out the code and then post back. Thanks

I do not have a code reader to check. Perhaps its best to pick one up form Canadian tire and then take it back once i have the code?? Does this model of car have the light on he ECU that flashes to show the code or is there a proper reader for it? Thanks

Hey guys, I have a 2000 Mazda Protg. It has 1620,000 KM on it and runs mostly well. However the check engine light was intermittingly coming on and now it stays on all the time. Also if I give the car wide open throttle it will hesitate around 4000 RPM before continuing to climb. Also I think...
