Thanks. Since we still have a CEL I don't mind replacing the sensors. We plan on keeping the car a long time so I'll at least eliminate them as suspects. If we still get CEL I'll get a better cat with better warranty. At this point I'll have new plugs, sensors and cat which I hope will...

Don't know right now- will have to get from mechanic and let u know.

Just bought a 2003 LX with 105k on it about a month ago. Got a check engine light random misfire code, previous owner put a new cat converter in, off of eBay. Check engine light is back with same code. Mechanic that diagnosed it sent a note on my behalf to ebay seller asking for a new cat...

Thanks HSN. Yes, the tranny will be my main focus. The miles don't concern me as it's an average of about 13k/yr, which is normal. A clean interior says a lot to me and if it has even a hint of cigarette smell we won't drive it. It's an older couple which also gives me a little peace of mind...

Auto or 5sp?

Hi all. A couple of questions please. How reliable are the auto trannys? I had a 2002 ES with the 5sp stick and loved it. Sold it with 80k on it with no trouble. Am now looking for the same car for my daughter but with an auto. I've found a 2 owner LX with 160k. Owner sounds responsible...

Has anyone heard this? I forget where I read it. I heard it'll get 30mpg. Does anyone know when next gen is, 2013 or 2014?

Jericho, I noticed today that there was very little buzzing noise, and the weather was in the low 60's, so I think cold weather causes the metal to expand which exagerates the noises. That explains why I haven't noticed this all summer. I'll keep looking though. There's got to be something...

it's still happening While driving it seems to come from up inside the glove box so I took the glove box door off to see if anything was loose in there and everything was fine. Had my wife rev the engine to 2500-2700 rpm while I listened. It 's so hard to trace - it sounds like it's in the...

Duh, the main switch was not on! Thanks to everyone, the 'main' switch on the steering wheel was turned off!! I had forgotten about it since it is not visible.

Right out of the blue it stopped working. Check fuse box inside and there is no slot identified for cruise control. Any idea of where to check or what to do? I have an '02 ES 5sp w/56k miles Thanks

I have an 02 ES 5spd w/52k miles on it. Lately I am getting an annoying buzzing/rattling sound around 2000 to 2500rpm in the right side of the dash board. The dash seems tight and I've pressed everywhere when I hear it and I can't seem to locate it. I've looked through the glovebox opening...

Samm, where can I download one?

I found the 'Protoge FAQ' from "The Man" and found a TSB that appears to address this. Does anyone know where to find the 'shock sensor' , a small black harness that is routed past the relay bracket? If I can find these things there is adjustment that can be made to the shock sensor that...

Hi - I'm a newbie that just bought a used '02 Protege ES w/42k miles. Lately the alarm has been going off randomly and stopping on it's own. All the doors and windows are up so I'm assuming it's being armed properly. Is there a fuse or something that could be causing this? Any ideas where to...
