To preface this issue, I will say that I have noticed this OCCASIONALLY over the summer before I replaced my purge valve solenoid. What would happen is OCCASIONALLY when the car was already warm (usually while I was delivering), I would start the car and it would stumble a little bit, fire up...

I've been having a couple issues with my P5 relating to idle, and I feel like I know the issue (idle air control valve or EGR), but I just wanna make sure before I start taking things apart. First issue: I've been having this issue very rarely, but when it happens it is annoying. Occasionally...

Hey guys. I was in the middle of a delivery shift when all of a sudden my clutch pedal dropped to the floor and didn't come back up. I pulled the pedal up and tried again and it did the same thing - stayed down. I was in gear ready to take off, so I left it in gear and looked under the hood to...

Has anyone programmed/wired their reverse lights to come on when their keyless entry unlocks the car, like what GM cars do? Since I now have LED reverse lights, I figured it would be useful in dark areas, since I work all night delivering. Correct me if this seems like a bad idea, but here's my...

I just got new rims on my P5 and I decided to paint them gold. But that leaves me with the fact that my stock lug nuts look terrible against the gold. I decided to buy some black lug nuts of some sort, but first I wanna make sure they will fit with no issues, since they are basically stock rims...

I know it has been hashed out many times, but I was wondering.what drop-in options there were for replacing the stock fog lights. I just found out that HIDs don't fit in the stock housing (at least the kit I got). Any input on that? I really don't wanna have to cut up the stock lights. Also, I'm...

I've been thinking about getting new springs for my P5 and I stumbled on these on Amazon. Does this seem like it's legit or could they be knock-offs? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004SCMEBO/?tag=m20b7-20

Hey guys. I feel like there may be a thread of this already, but I don't really have time to search since I'm at work for 12 hours tonight and tomorrow. Anyways, I need to get my door fixed cuz there's a decent sized dent on it. I was thinking about picking up a parts car and keeping it in...

I'm planning on repairing my motor mounts, but there's a couple ways that I can do it, and I wanna find out which way would be most efficient. The first method would be to fill the front mounts with 3M window weld, since I've heard it's an easy and cheap way of doing it. But here's my issue...

So I'm trying to put in some DDM HIDs, and the bulb is waaaay too big to fit in the hole (that's what she said?) Has anyone had experience with this, and what did you do to remedy it?

Hey guys. I'm sure you probably see this a lot, but I'm considering getting an 04 Mazda 3s hatch 5-speed stick. I have a Protege5 now and while I love it, it's taking waaay too much of my money. Granted, a lot of it was the condition I bought it in, but I don't want to keep spending money on it...

When I've been using the mobile app, I keep getting denied access to the marketplace through the P5 forum link. Had anyone else had issues with this?

The other night, when I went in for work, I found out that one of my headlights wasn't on. Well, went and fiddled around under the hood a little and it turns back on. Over the course of the next few nights it does the same thing, but it starts doing it with the other one too. I finally ended up...

NOTHING IS URGENT!! I probably won't be buying anything for quite a while. As in maybe mid-May or June. So for now I'm looking to see what's out there and get some stuff locked down, if sellers are willing to wait. I would prefer these to be new, but some of them could be used if I can get a...

Alright guys and gals, I know everyone will tell me to search this and find other posts similar to this issue, but I literally have found almost nothing helpful that is really what my issue is. Se here's what's going on: I have a clunking in my steering coming from directly in front of the...

I got Ozzie in March from a dealer in a small town not too far from where I was going to school. I chose it after driving another Protege and loving it, but someone had snatched it up before me. I paid $3700 and immediately started having/finding issues, and sadly not very many of them were...

Hey guys. I'm still fairly new to the whole working on my car myself thing, and I need to replace my struts really badly. I did some reading on the forums and basically decided to go with the Stagg SHS struts with Vogtland springs...

I was running some errands today when all of a sudden I noticed some shuddering in my shifter. Look at my guage cluster and my check engine light was on. As I pulled away from the next stoplight, I noticed that there was quite a bit of misfiring going on with quite a lack of power. I stopped...
