Just working my way through some issues with my son's Protege5. Recently, it was having issues with persistent part throttle hesitation, and threw codes indicating random misfire and lean burn. I replaced the plugs/coils/wires and got rid of the misfire code. I found a vacuum leak which got...

Did the anti-fouler on mine this weekend. After a few trips for re-learn, the CEL shut off today. Ended up costing me about $20 for the anti-fouler and the O2 sensor socket. Took about 20 minutes.

As stated above, I'm looking for a seat slider for a 2002 P5. It's only got a broken bracket, but I suspect I need the whole assembly. Assuming shipping would be steep, so somewhere within a few hours drive of SW Michigan would be preferred.

Tint. P5's look great with the windows blacked out.

You can't reflash in street/stock either. Realistically, no one will probably know, but you will. Maybe you want to look at one of the street touring classes. Those allow you to do coils, bolts ons, reflash and sway bars all around. You also get better wheel allowances. Sounds like that's...

Just curious how the Protege5 tends to do. I'm assuming it's classed as H Street. I'm asking because I sort of committed to run mine at least a few times. I've got a 94 Miata which is my "normal" autox car, and I'm registered with Mazdaspeed's driver development program. Today, I added the...

That helps, thanks. "Lateral links" is the term I was looking for. My son and I worked on it a little bit last night. Looks like we need all four lateral links, sway bar end links and sway bar bushings. Pretty much every rear half bushing is dried out, cracked and creaking. Probably why we...

Thanks for the link, I may pick those up in order to have a grease fitting on the sway, but I'm looking for the bushings on the 2 lower bars that connect the hub/brake assembly to the subframe.

I recently picked up a Protege 5 for my son's first car. Overall, it seems to be in pretty good shape, but the rear end of the car creaks like an old boat. My son and I spent a few hours on it today. It's creaking from the lower suspension pick ups, sway bar bushings and the endlinks. So...

My son and I picked up an 02 earlier this week for his first car. Today, we had an hour or two after baseball and yard work, so we wet-sanded and polished out the headlights. Still waiting on a plate and insurance to get it on the road.
