Hey everyone, I am new to the Mazda Forums and looking for a little help. I tried google searches and looking on here for the same topic but didnt find much. If you have seen this come up else where, I would appreciate it if you would kindly post a link and I'll read through however many pages I need to.
First, the Background:
I have a bone stock 2003 Protege5 with 110k miles that has always treated me well. I have had some engine codes popping up recently and I have dealt with them one at a time. At first I had a Lean Fuel/Air Ratio code come on with a Fuel Pressure Regulator (P0090) code. I replaced the Regulator and found a hissing noise from my intake gasket. I removed the intake and replaced the gasket and threw it all back together. This was about 2 months ago.
Now, I have two codes popping up: VTC solenoid code (P2009) and Fuel Pressure Regulator (P0090). I thought it was odd that the P0090 came back because I had replaced it so recently. So I decided to attack the P2009. I got a new solenoid and replaced it, then cleared the code. Code stayed off for a day... now its back. But it only comes back with both P2009 and P0090. In my google research, I haven't found anybody with these two coming on together. Anybody ever heard of this? Or does anybody have any ideas how I can go about fixing it? I read online somewhere that the P2009 can be caused by a bad sensor. Anybody know what sensor this is or where it is located?
Thanks in advance for your ideas.
