Did you sell the luggage carrier parts?

Thanks for the advice but I left the rails on, just took the luggage carrier crossbars off. However I if I get a respray I will need to take the carrier rails off myself to save on labor costs and I have seen a video on that so I appreciate it's a bit of a 'mare. Yes, I have my delete strips...

Thank you for your very helpful reply!! That makes sense now you explained it and I feel stupid for asking. I couldn't remember it looking like that 4 years ago when I took it off the car.

I have 2002 MP5. When I bought it from prev owner I removed the luggage carrier cross bars as had no need for them then plus it had been cannibalized to make it fit. Now I want it back on and have put it together, figured out what parts I need and that they are hard to come by. However my main...

So now I know the rpm pulsing while coasting is not the IAC any ideas what it might be? BTW I had driven well over 200 miles so I presumed that it had relearnt to idle.

Thank you! So I ask myself why did technician 1) Not know that was normal & 2) suggest it was adjustable. He was just recommended to me & now I'm not so sure.

Idling issues on my 2002 MP 5 (150 k) driving me nuts! Had rough idle and private Mazda master tech mechanic suggested likely faulty IAC. Bought new IAC (SMP brand aka Standard) for $125 (a steal I thought as most around $200 mark) plus new OEM gaskets for IAC & throttle body. Got mechanic to...

Eric, many thanks for the tip. I took my MP5 to Don at OC MasterTec & he diagnosed a faulty IAC. New one fitted and now much better but still having issues. These cars are pigs to get running smoothly!

Thanks for this - a Master Mazda technician w/ his own shop is more or less what I was looking for. I already called him. Don (?) seems very helpful - he sure does like to talk! I'll take it up there when I can find the time during the week. Awesome - thanks again!

Mmm, thanks but I can't afford the Mazda dealers & simply not worth it on this car. Fluids are all done, the belts look good but the O2 sensors have not been touched. I'm thinking a vacuum leak or a faulty sensor could be at least part of the problem. Aside from the erratic idling after some...

Thank you all for your great advice. Apologies for dropping this but I was on a work trip. I will respond ASAP.

I have '02 MP5 that has engine issues. With 150K perhaps no surprise but I need to decide whether to keep it or move on. I'd rather keep it but I need to know exactly where I'm at before I can make an informed decision. I am no mechanic obviously or I wouldn't be asking but I think it's got...
