Vehicle has been sold. Spicy #1291 has gone to a very good new home. I hope the new owner has many years of enjoyment with her. ;)

Well, I've decided it's time to send the Spicy on to a home where she might be properly updated and cared for. Didn't want to bother with a dealer trade-in, I would rather sell it to someone here who might have use for a well-used, but well cared for MSP. The details: 2003 Spicy Orange...

151400 and limping along!

NocturnalSpeed - Great thread, pics and comments. I am amazed at how clean your ride is, especially on these dirty Houston roads. Last update was in July, it's September now. :) How is the build going? Inquiring minds are waiting! ;) I don't post much, mostly lurk. I'm currently...

Bigray1111, I had the same issues several years ago. Fuel pump needed replacing. Cured the Bank 1 lean code and all of the other CEL issues I was having. See my writeup here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123731423-need-some-help..&p=4331183#post4331183

I had some related issues several months ago that turned out to be the fuel pump. See my post on it here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4331183&postcount=6

Pump was about $120 if I remember correctly.

I had the same issues you describe. It was the fuel pump. See my post on it here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4331183&postcount=6

Or, it may be you fuel pump. See my post about here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4331183&postcount=6

Fuel pump is a fairly easy fix. See my post about it here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4331183&postcount=6

Might be worth pulling the fuel pump. I had a constant P0171 that went away for good when the pump was replaced. See my post on it here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4331183&postcount=6

Don't discount a fuel pump problem. I had the same horrible bucking and stalling/ lean CEL issue with a bone-stock MSP. Replaced EGR, MAF sensor, coil packs, plugs. Issue was still there, no vac leaks either. When I pulled the fuel pump, the problem became apparent. See my post about it here...

Thanks! I can't claim it all as my own, my reference material was lots of excellent information posted by others here in various threads.

Appreciate all the input guys. Thanks!

jCell, See my post here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4331183&postcount=6 Hope it helps. -Lyserjic SpicyO #1291

I'm looking to replace the original turbo in the next few months. Car is 100% stock, daily driver and will remain as such for some time. I'm old, and I drive slow. :) My question for those of you in the know, what "bolt on" turbo upgrade would you recommend without having to go forged or...

I went down the same road, new upper O2 sensor, new EGR, etc.. If you are getting a P0171 (Bank 1 lean), don't discount a weak or worn out fuel pump or fuel pump assembly. I had been dealing with that code (and a P0300 - Random multiple misfire) for over a year. Turned out the pump and a...

I'm sure it won't be long before I'll be back in there replacing the entire pump assembly. I wasn't all that impressed with the condition of the unit as a whole. Awfully expensive part too, considering there's not really that much to it. -Lyserjic SpicyO #1291

I was having a very similar issue with my MSP, stumbling idle as you describe, REALLY bad when things warmed up. Constant CEL with P0171 & P0300 (bank 1 lean and random multiple misfires). Pulled the fuel pump this past weekend. Here's where it got interesting. The large gasket around the...
