power

Hi guys, I've been reading through the forum and was wondering if anyone has seen issues with the invisicord tap for the autodimming mirror with regards to a front + rear dashcam. It seems that some Garmin front dashcams have special power needs, and I was curious if front + rear cameras would...

I just installed a front facing dash cam after watching a bunch of dashcam videos. I also want to install one in the back window, and I have a few old android phones that I want to use for that purpose. But there's no power plug in the trunk. Does anyone know of the easiest way to tap into power...

My 2002 Protege5 is no longer able to easily make it up even the slightest of hills. It doesn't miss, nor generate an error message, just slows forcing a downshift. I'm the original owner, and it has 75K miles. It's a 5-speed. The problem started after I tried platinum plugs. I switched back to...

So I use the 12 volt plug in the arm rest for my GPS charger and find it quite annoying that power continues to run through only this plug after the car is off. This results in me having to unplug/replug it every time I get in/out of the car so that my GPS does not continue to stay on. Sounds...

I have an 02 Protege ES 4-cyl 2.0L. What are some relatively easy/simple/possibly cheap ways to tweak/tune my engine to gain more hp/accelaration/torque? And I don't necessarily mean boreing/oversized cams/intake/exhaust. I mean like simple secrets I guess. Any tip is appreciated, thanks

I have a 98 Protege DX (1.5L engine) I went to go get my car inspected today and the guy said that the OBD II port is getting no power. I checked it myself and sure enough even my reader wasnt getting anything from it. Does anyone have any thoughts as to how to proceed?

Hi everyone, I came across an interesting review about how Mexican-Spec MS3's 1st gen and 2nd gen, are down on power (from the alleged 263 HP). It all started with an article a magazine called Automovil Panamericano made, where it submitted its test car to a dyno run and got a very different...

So my car can jump and start properly, and if it's running, it'll run all day, so I know it's not the alternator, but if I shut it off, the battery drains FAST! (Like in 15 minutes) I've bought more than 1 new battery, so I know it's not a faulty battery. There are no fuses blown, so I don't...
