protege5

Just joined this forum to see if I could get help from the community. (I know right, I haven’t even taken y’all to dinner yet) Getting straight to the point…looking for a manual p5. She had a 2003 black manual , that she picked up in 2008 with 8,000 miles on the clock back in the day and...

Hey everyone! first time poster to the forums here. I Have a 2003 Mazda protege5 that i got back in 2021 with just under 200k for $2,200. Fast forward to now and I'm doing a engine over hall, but I'm having timing issues. I have all the timing marks lined up, with all timing components being...

I have a 2003 mazda protege5, long story short my passenger side tires tread came off while driving and took off the inner fender liner that protects the wiring. When that happened it ripped all the ground wires out of the plastic clip thing. Not sure what's it's technical name is. Was...

This is driving me crazy! I recently had the evaporator replaced and then made the cabin air filter mod and since then I've been battling a passenger wet carpet from one degree to another. At first it was that the drain valve was knocked out of place, so I got that past the firewall and extended...

I have a 2003 Protege5 with a starting issue. The car ran when I pulled it into my shop to install a radio. Finished the install and then I go to start the car. Everything primes and there was a clicking noise by the center console. Any ideas?

The main flaw of the automatic that causes premature failure of the band and 3-4 friction pack is low line pressure. under heavy acceleration, the slip time of the frictions simply produces too much heat for the relatively low amount of frictions and under-cooled transmission fluid to absorb...

Hi all - I'm the original owner of a 2002 P5 with 208k on the clock. I posted recently about a rough idle that I believe was due to carbon buildup on the EGR, but got no responses. To address what I believed to be EGR build-up, I started driving the P5 on longer trips, more open throttle and...

Hello, as you may know, I have been interested in turbocharging my automatic since the day I bought it. I feel that the automatic may have more potential than the manual because of its taller gears, torque converter, and ability to stay in the motor's powerband by itself. I have yet to prove...

After a few months of contemplating what I should get to daily and mess around with, I finally settled on a P5. Searching the internet led to only a small array of them for sale around the country, and I settled on this one in the Tacoma, WA area. One owner since 2003 and only 145K on the...

So last week my clutch hydraulic hose blew a leak. Obviously the clutch lost pressure, pedal went to the floor, and it stayed engaged. My uncle drove out to me, drove my car to his house with no clutch (the tranny took a beating), took the hose off, patched it, we bled the clutch, and it worked...

Hey all! So recently the my engine started knocking so I'm planning on putting a new engine in (oem) and putting a turbo on it. If the damage in the current engine isn't that bad I'll probably end up re-building the motor if possible and boosting at a later date (unlikely). Anyways, I'm on a bit...
