rough idle

Ok, so everyone with a protege seems to have the same problem, however i dont think the solution has been the same for everyone.. or some ppl just THOUGHT they fixed it with something but it came back.. so here it goes. I have a 02 mazda protege5 2.0 i got the car all messed up, crashed from...

I need some help I am loosing my mind trying to figure this out. I have an Intermittent rough idle, While in gear like at a stop light it will act like a misfire and the RPMS will drop a couple hundred and then back to normal... sometimes at the stop light it might do it a couple of times and...

hey i just purchased a 2002 P5, car is in excellent shape, (first P5) and i noticed then with the car in neutral, clutch in or out, the idle is fine, but when i put the car into gear, the idle jumps between 1000 and 1500, with the clutch pressed in, car drives fine and has no running issues, as...

hello there my name is Mike. I am new to the community and wanted to introduce myself. I just bought a mp5 a couple days ago and it has some disabilities going on. first off previous owner states car runs but has to be kept high rpm or it dies? they said they thought it was a dud injector but...

2002 Mazda Protege 5 at 102K. Automatic trans. Very rough idle, wants to stall. Drops about 2-3 RPMs regularly. Only at idle. Timing belt, idle air control valve, and air boot replaced recently. No good. Getting worse. Accessories off or on - doesn't matter. Warm or cold - doesn't matter. Now...

Looked into just about everthing to see why I was getting rough idle and stalling hot or cold for first few minutes after every start. Just finished replacing the fuel filter/strainer in the tank, when I went to start the car I got slow rotation of starter, burning smell, then tell tail "tick"...

Alright so here is the deal, i have a 2003.5 MSP #88 and well....idles just fine but as soon as i push in the clutch, it stalls out to either 100rpm - 200rpm or it dies. There use to be a vibration in the clutch but i was told by my trans shop that it was the springs on the plate. so i had the...

Hey guys, I've posted about this before. I've had a cylinder misfire issue, but for a while it seemed to go away. Now its back. Its been getting worse. I've pulled all the plugs and coils and I'm confident its not an electrical issue. Haven't tested compression yet... but I wanted to run...

The 02 p5 makes a rumbling sound after stopping at a stop light. rough idle. it was doing it twice a week before. today the rumbling sound kept coming at every stop and the check engine light came on. The strange part is that the idle is fine now even with cel on. The rough idle would usually...

I recently purchased a 2002 Mazda Protege 5 with an automatic transmission. The car as 93500 miles and is in great shape. The only thing wrong with the car is that when I start it after it has been sitting for more than a couple hours is that it will stall right away. After pushing the gas pedal...

Hope this is in the right area. My wife has a 01 Protoge LX 2.0 and after reading about cleaning the EGR to resolve idle issues thought I would try it. Only the two bolts are severely damaged and the only way off is to cut them. With that being said the car has 230,000Km on it and don't want...

We bought this car and are trying to get it up to speed... We've noticed that when the car is stopped (ie redlight) the idle drops a little below the line under 1000RPMS and gets rough, if you put the car in park or neutral it idles back up to the line below 1000 and idles smooth. When you...

I turned my MSP on today to discover that it was idling very rough and uneven, and the check engine light is flashing. I'd just ordered and received my timing belt components in the mail and was going to replace the whole thing in a few days - I really hope my timing belt didn't fail just now...

I just bought a 99 Mazda Protege SE (After my brother decided to wrap my 2000 Mazda Protege around a tree) a couple days ago and it has been idling rough whenever I stop at a stop light. It doesn't happen right away (Thus the reason I didn't notice it during the test drive) it only seems to...

my 2005 mazda 6 (4 cyl, AT) recently developed a high rev problem. i'll be on the freeway and notice that barely touching the throttle will make a noticeable lurch forward when barely touching the throttle and a noticeable backward lurch when i barely remove foot from accelerator. then when i...
