Yea this is what I was thinking because they look exactly the same one has a green connector coming from the car and the VTCS has a white. You think if I unplugged the VICS and plugged it into the VTCS slot and vice versa for the other to see if it would run the code for the VICS malfunctioning...

That is awesome! Great looking car man hope to have mine at that point some day.

When you say different tune are you referring to a specific setup? My car engine wise is relatively stock aside from air intake and ngk spark plugs. Everything else is oem even the spark plug wires etc. In all the reserach and advice I have gotten the air intake wouldn't cause this problem and...

Well if it doesn't make a difference what would cause a shutter affect when I accelerate? It's like the car shutters and then starts to accelerate. People have said this to be coil packs. Is this true?

I took the grille off my 03 mazda protege es and while I was waiting for the paint to dry I looked at the car without a grille and I must say it looks guite mean, but it's a fairly big hole and it makes it really easy to pop the hood open because the latch is exposed. So for some what of...

If you are referring to the trim that goes around the A/C vents, knobs, radio etc and has the carbon fiber on both sides I've painted that. It is really easy if you pull your radio out and take the cables off the A/C knobs there are only a few screws holding it in at that point. Find a way to...

If you find the answer to this I am really interested as well. I have an 03 mazda es and it seems like the only options is either change the bumper or find an oem lip which you might as well just get an mp3 bumper.

What signs will I notice when the plunger opens? If I am reving the engine in my drive way nothing happens. In fact I've tried to replicate this problem as well as a random engine rattle (these two aren't associated) but I cannot seem to get the results. Like I said to Tweety there is no CEL and...

Yea that is the weird thing the CEL doesn't come on and the car runs relatively fine, but when accelerating or if the engine is in a low gear and idling low like up a hill etc it will accelerate sluggish. I want this to be fixed because something is wrong and I like my car 100% because it's my...

I have already posted this on another part of the forum and I really need this question answered soon. So my car keeps giving back a code p0660 I have ran the diagnostic many times. I have installed new spark plugs, cleaned the wires, cleaned the throttle body, check the coil packs, and...

Exactly. The Protege 5 is simply that MP5 Hatchback no submodel. My ES is the sedan and happens to be the only real ES model from Mazda. Also when buying from craigslist people will typically post whatever they feel will give them the most notoriety to get their stuff sold.

If the Protege Es doesn't exist it would be really weird because I drive one. The 4 door sedan came in an es model.

Ok So I know people on here have asked this before, but I seriously need some help. I have installed new spark plugs, cleaned the wires, cleaned the throttle body, check the coil packs, and everything is fine. However, when running a diagnostic on my car the machine ran back a code p0660 saying...

Amazing! This is honestly part of my motivation for me to keep my protege.

oh ok

yea

haha nice oh wow isn't your protege a 99?

haha yea It is so hard finding a msp bumper! and yea I have a protege es and mine has a sunroof but it was factory but I see tons of proteges without It makes me think sunroofs were a crazy priced option to have on a protege. Haha tweety2300 true that the us takes the fun out of customizing cars.
