- 03 mazda protege 5 automatic
after getting rough idles/starts and intermittent overheating on the temp gauge
-new plugs, wires, coils
-new egr (ordered canadian, although apparently my NorCal weather has no need for it...meh)
-plugged a hose (code 301, i think...running lean code, plug fixed it)
-new cap, ect sensor, and thermostat
-no mixing in oil or coolant
-no white smoke or smells
-had 2 stalls (automatic version) a few weeks apart
-running perfect, then intermittent overheating
-both fans were working
pressure tested today (i know, should have earlier), and the gauge dropped about 5 psi in under 1-2 minutes.
hopefully just a hose or two that need to be replaced...will be so happy if all the problems are finally gone.
