Thanks guys! Your advice has been very helpful and I'm looking as we speak!

My MSP died on me last week :( About two weeks prior to the MSProtege dying on me, i had the clutch and the brakes replaced. While driving, I was goin about 65mph up an incline and hear a loud "POP" sound from the engine and immediately lose power. All the lights on the dash lit up including...

Must not be the clutch slipping...still doing it though, anyone know any good mazdaspeed mechanics around the Los Angeles area more towards Hollywood / san fernando valley area?

Okay i'll give that a try thanks...it has been a WHILE since i've replaced the clutch

yes 4th gear also...its usually when i'm going 40 mph + when it starts to do it

Okay well I don't know how to explain this so i'll give it my best shot... While driving on the freeway at about 70 mph i'll step on the gas to switch lanes or pass someone and my rpms will jump up extremely quick but the car won't accelerate. I'm coasting at about 70 mph and when I give it...

I have a completely stock 03 msprotege and I went to get my smog test. It failed. The check engine light came on while he was smogging it. So i took it to my mechanic and he tested it and told me the car is running too lean. Any idea on how to fix this? He also gave me the code after testing...

i have the SAME PROBLEM!! haha someone help me please...how do i find this EGR and replace it?

nope no boost gauge my car is completely stock just getting old i guess? I'll check out the WGA and see what happens

When i start my engine and it is cold, when i rev to about 2-3k rpm the front of the car will give off a really weird whistling noise. After my car is warmed up it wont make this noise anymore. But when its cold and i'm stopped at a light, whenever i give it gas even at idle it makes this...

My shifter is ridiculously loose. Does anyone know what i can do or what i need to replace to fix this problem? The car is still driveable but everytime im in gear and i hit the gas it jumps and moves from side to side. Could this have to do with my transmission? i don tknow what to...

haha yeah i've tried that many times it flips back into position then right back out again and just stays in that position...looks like i need a new head unit! do i have to replace the whole system or can i get the same unit ?

haha wow so there's no way to repair my head unit? is my only solution to buy another one?

My stereo has been working perfectly fine over the years but just the other day when i turn my car on it flips over no lights come on then it just flips out to the eject position and stays there. I recently installed a new battery in my msp would that have something to do with it? if anyone...

Ok...so i finally got my car started...the car idles perfectly fine BUT when im driving and i leave my foot on the clutch the needle hits 0 rpm and the car dies and i have to start it right back up again...it happens very often now. Does anyone know what this is?

no its not turning its just dead..i did clean the connectors but nothing seemed to work...i'll try cleaning them with baking soda and water and hopefully it helps thanks

For the last few weeks my car has been randomly dying on me while driving mainly when i shift gears and have the clutch held in. It only happens when my foot is on the clutch there is no problem with it at idle. I drive a good amount every day to and from work and everything else seems to work...

Hey guys i was wondering if anyone had a mazdaspeed protege driver's side tail light for sale. Someone backed into me while my car was parked in front of my house and sped off! Luckily it only hit the tail light itself. If anyone around the los angeles area can help me out or if anyone can...
