Also, any ideas for how to raise the back end of the car? I see a lot of info about lowering the vehicle, but no one seems to want to raise it.

I did the water pump, and got the timing all right, put the car back together. went to start the car, and she keeps turning over and over. took the plugs out, and there is spark, but they are all dry, meaning im not getting any fuel I would imagine. when pulling apart the car, I only unplugged 2 sensors, not sure what they are, and plugged em back in already, so I don't think I left anything unplugged.

I was thinking because the car got so hot, it had some sort of fuel disconnect, so I researched to see if there was one, and in all the write ups, all the guys say there is no fuel disconnect. so im stumped as to why the car is getting no fuel, and hopefully one of you guys can point me in the right direction. ]]> Mazda MP3 (MazdaMP3.com) mattsanderson http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123829423-no-fuel-in-protege http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123829411-need-protege-mp3-Ecu&goto=newpost Wed, 01 May 2013 17:20:42 GMT I need an ecu for my mp3 I found one online for $500 but i need kinda under $350 If anyone know where i can find a cheaper one or maybe if theres another alternative to replacing my ecu please let me know I need an ecu for my mp3

Problems:heat b
1. Air conditioner only blows cold while at level one. When i turn it up, the light for the ac goes off and it slowly starts to heat back up again.

2. Car was riding rough so i replaced the tie rod ends and it seemed to fix the clunk in the front, but there is still a slight noise, especially if i hit a speed bump with only one tire. it comes from more of the middle of the car and not the ends. I took it to my long time mechanic and asked if it was the rods themselves and he said no and that everything was fine. However i think that there is still something thats making a noise that it shouldnt.

3. The previous owner took out the stock system and put in a polk audio system, however the majority of the time, i only get sound from the back half of the car. Ive checked all the connections to the amplifier and they are all solid. Any leads?

4. Does anyone know how to raise the car up a bit? Ive seen a lot of posts about lowering the car but i want to raise the back end up about an inch and a half.

5. Are there any computer add ons that would change the tuning of the car to where i could get a little more acceleration out of it? Im not really looking for that much more power, just a better off the line time.

As for right now, that is all. Any help would be greatly appreciated yall. ]]> Mazda MP3 (MazdaMP3.com) jorda http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123829154-Looking-for-a-tune-up!
