    How to test Fuel Pump Relay?

    I want to test the fuel pump relay in my 2002 Protege5, but after searching for the forums, I haven't found a post indicating which pin is which. The only diagram I've been able to find is below, but the pin configuration of mine is an L formation while the diagram is 2x2. What the hell? Which...

    2002 Protege5 with P0037 code started losing power then wouldn't idle then died.

    Hey everyone. My 2002 Protege5 5 speed with 195k miles had a P0037 code that I noticed for a few weeks, so I ordered a rear OEM O2 sensor. While waiting for the part to arrive, the last time I drove it, it seemed to be missing most of it's horsepower which I immediately assumed was related to...

    Rear Strut ABS Sensor Bolt Size?

    I recall breaking the head of one of these screws on the rear strut last time I replaced the strut housing and it's due time to replace that strut again, but I was not able to get the remainder of the old bolt out. Does anyone know a part number of size/pitch for this bolt so I can order a new...

    2002 P5 5 Speed. My battery is fully charged, the positive and negative terminals seem tight, no clicking coming from the driver side fuse box when I try to start it, the keyfob works, the lights turn on.

    How Do I Disassemble the Window Switch Assembly?

    I am trying to gain access to clean and/or adjust the passenger door contacts. I have removed the 4 small screws and the 3 larger ones, but I can't gain access to the contact points inside to clean them up since the inner and outer piece won't separate. The inner piece is lose, but I can't find...

    IAC valve connector keeps popping off. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Basically I know it is popping off where it connects to the valve cover on top of the engine because the idle gets rough. It's super easy to just pop it back on when this happens, but it happens pretty often. Does anyone have a solution? Yes, I already searched the forum, but didn't find anything.

    A Few Quick Questions Regarding Strut Replacement...

    I actually replaced my struts at 127,000 miles for the first time in 2007 based on this awesome post: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123674157-HOW-TO-Protege-5-Strut-and-Sway-Bar-install I am now at 188k miles and after 70k miles I am surely overdue to re-replace them (boom08)...

    Took My Car In For a Rear Motor Mount Replacement, Now It Barely Runs!!!

    I was having trouble getting the rear motor mount swapped out, so I took it to what is apparently a reputable mechanic and when I went to pick it up it barely idled and ran very rough. His scanner said P0300 but he couldn't determine which cylinder was missing. I have since replaced the coils...

    Trouble Filling Gas Tank. Can only fill slowly...

    I am having a weird issue wherein, once I fill up with about 1.5 gallons, the nozzle disengages and thinks the car is full. Depressing the lever again only causes it to disengage immediately and only puts a few drops in each time. However, if I put gas in slowly, it will fill up. I tried...

    Manual Shifter Won't Return to Center Gah!

    Driving home last night I noticed a slushy resistance in my 5 speed. It was moderately difficult to take out of gear and put back into gear and the shifter wouldn't return to center when I put it in neutral. It would either stick to the left or right and won't center even if I try to keep it...

    Brake Caliper is Leaking But Can't Figure Out Where! Gah!!!

    I recently replaced all my pads and rotors as well as rebuilt the calipers about nine months ago, so this is probably related to that... I noticed my brake indicator coming on during braking, so I parked the ole' girl and a few hours later noticed brake fluid pooling under the right front tire...

    P0300/p0421/p0660

    Okay, I am really getting sick of this. Give it your best shot if you have any ideas. And firstly, yes, I have read basically every thread regarding the poor design of the Protege5 EGR and plug/coilpack setup. About two years ago, I had a problem with stuttering on my 02' Protege5. I changed...

    Factory Lowbean Bulb Confusion...

    When I bought my Protege5, it had H4s installed for lowbeams, so whenever one burns out, I just replace them with H4s. These are low watt bulbs that I believe are intended for snowmobiles and ATVs. They don't throw light very far in other words. After a search, I noticed that people are saying...

    Revised EGR Installation?

    I just ordered a revised EGR/gasket. I have heard that it has coolant line holes in it? I can't find an image anywhere on the net and was hoping for some heads up regarding what I should expect to encounter during installation. I have taken off the current EGR a few times for cleaning, but what...

    Can Someone tell me what the FCC ID # is on the back of their Remote?

    I have ordered two new doorlock remots for my Protege5 and have not been able to program either of them. I can't find the original remote, so I want to make sure that the two that I have are for a Protege5 and not something else like a Mazda3. Thanks in advance.
