    Jet performance chip?

    I know this is old but I’m gonna add to this. I was having a crank no start issue with my car. Could not figure out the issue. Finally pulled my ECM out and it had one of these in it. Put another ECM in it and I no longer have issues getting the car to start. I agree with everyone else that this...

    Oil Leaking (gaskets)

    Most accurate way to get the correct parts is through the VIN number. But if you gave them that info and are getting different part numbers I would double check with both places. I know sometimes with some models they made mid year changes so the parts are slightly different depending on when...

    Starting woes part 2

    Coils, plugs wires are all new. When this happens when the key is turned to on, the check engine light flickers really fast On and off and the car just cranks. When the check engine light stays on with the rest of the POST lights fuel pump primes and she fires. Something is interrupting the...

    Starting woes part 2

    The car cranks just fine, its not turning over. The fuel pump isnt priming, but its not a bad fuel pump as at some point it will prime. Ive replaced the fuel pump relay, the main relay, ignition switch and tumbler. What happens is the signal is not getting to the fuel pump relay, and the ECM...

    Starting woes part 2

    Still having intermittent starting issues where the car cranks but wont turn over. Ive read posts about the anti theft being a known problem for this. Been under the dash and Im trying to figure out what this thing looks like. Ive replaced everything else that would cause this problem. Does...

    Found an old Mazda 323 for sale really cheap, what should I be wary of?

    I had a 323 hatchback for 12 years. Didnt have any major issues with it, the older and more mileage it got I had to start replacing things like the radiator just because of age and the hot climate I live in. I just did regular maintenance on the car.

    Overheating....totally stumped.

    How old is the radiator cap? A bad one will make it overheat also. If you have air in the system itll cause overheating also,

    Where exactly is the blower relay?

    Not under the hood. There is one under the dash behind the squirrel cage itself, that one is specifically for the blower. My bad.

    Where exactly is the blower relay?

    When I had issues with my sedan blower not working it was a relay in the fuse block under the hood of the car. I believe it was the one marked for the a/c. It liked to stop working on really hot Arizona summer days.

    2003 Protege5 crank, no start and CEL

    Thanks for all the responses guys! Took the steering column apart again, found spliced wires where the ignition switch connects (Im not the first owner) and the solders were wrapped in electric tape, a couple were exposed. Thinking these were touching metal in there and possibly shorting out...

    2003 Protege5 crank, no start and CEL

    Gonna check the voltage in the ignition switch. Like I said sometimes it fires, sometimes it doesnt. Its really weird.

    2003 Protege5 crank, no start and CEL

    Am in agreement with that. Right now the only thing that makes sense. True the fuel pump doesnt always prime, but the CEL not illuminating at startup was one of the things happening in conjunction. Will try the tumbler and check voltage. Being that shes 15 years old wouldnt surprise me if it was...

    2003 Protege5 crank, no start and CEL

    Thatll be next. I just got the car to start, what I did was neutral, really manipulate the key in the tumbler then the fuel pump primed. Tried it again, no prime. Really manipulated the key and it started while in park. Im thinking its in the ignition circuit as well. I thought bad connection in...

    2003 Protege5 crank, no start and CEL

    Got the new fuel pump relay. Ignition switch was replaced last night. The main relay clicks but thats where the signal to everything stops. The fact that the CEL doesnt stay illuminated with the key switched to on is suspicious. Swapped the main fuse under the dash, that didnt do much. Its...

    2003 Protege5 crank, no start and CEL

    Thanks for responding. Changed those already so thats out. Fuel pump not getting a signal, the new relay is not clicking so no signal is getting to the fuel pump relay. The CEL does not illuminate at turn on. Flickers then goes out.

    2003 Protege5 crank, no start and CEL

    Been trying to figure this one out. Car cranks but not starting, there is no CEL when key is turned to on. Fuel pump relay, ignition switch and battery are new. Main fuse looks fine and doesnt look blown. The CEL flickers for a split second but does not illuminate. Where else do I need to...

    Headlight Bezels

    Yeah I saw those! I went through Silverstars on the sedan yearly. If not twice a year. Ended up getting Phillips crystal vision sets for 20 each off Amazon. Hoping to have all lights working on Tuesday.
