    I replaced the alternator in my 2000 Protege with a brand new alternator, the battery light comes on while driving and the car is stuck in 3rd gear. At an idle the light goes out, I unhooked the alternator and drove the car on just the battery and had all 4 gears again. The only thing I can...

    Help With Protege5 Mods?

    I recently bought a 2002 Protege5, with 67K miles. I'm looking to do some mods to increase performance on it and don't really know where to start. Now I am working with a bit of a budget, like $2000 now, but it will grow as pay checks come in.

    Exhaust - Stock vs. CS vs. Custom?

    So I have been debating this for quite some time now, but I think I might pull the trigger, but wanted to see what the community thinks on here. My msp is completely stock mechanically and just hit about 39.2k miles. I am debating on which exhaust upgrade, IF ANY, that I should do. Should I...

    P0303 p0031 p0660 p0705

    My 03 Mazda Protege5 has 4 codes coming up. I'm wondering if they are all related or separate issues. The biggest is P0303 cylinder 3 misfire. Pulled the plug and it looked burnt around the bottom as well as a little charred above the nut. Replaced it but it still feels rough on 10 mile test...

    Rebuilt Engine, Bad Idle

    First post to Mazdas247 Forum. I rebuilt a 2.0L FS-DE engine with new rings, bearings, valve stem seals, valve grinding, seals, gaskets, timing belt, idlers, water pump. It has good dry compression at 150psi in each cylinder. However, I cannot get the new motor to idle for more than a minute...

    Winter wheels: Steel rims with Pirelli Winter Carving studdable tires. 195/55/15

    Rims are in good shape (no curb rash). Tires are in very good shape with lots of tread left. These were outstanding in snow and were actually very good on dry pavement.. in fact they were better than my all-season grand touring tires. Sadly, my Protege5 is no more, so these need a new home. Can...

    2003 Protege rust prevention?

    (Moderator, I wasn't sure the right forum for this, so please bump to the right one if this one is inappropriate) We live in Vancouver BC so generally the vehicle rust problems because of our mild climate and salt free roads are about as good as it gets in Canada. Nowhere near as good as arid...
