- 03 Mazda Protege
Hey Mazda247,
Im a new owner of a 2003 Mazda Protege. My check engine light came on after putting on 300 miles on the car. -_-
I am already certain its throwing me a o2 sensor fault. Here in the state of Minnesota I have no emissions so I would like to let this baby "breath." I have searched ebay and others for a nice cheap headers back system, but couldn't find much.
does anyone know a alternative route? Pounding out the honey comb perhaps? Ticks with the o2 sensors?
where is the "pre-cat" located, Right after the headers? Witch sensor is more vital, the first or second?
sorry is this seems likes a ramble. Basically I want performance, help the engine run smoother, and get rid of that damn Check engine light that's starring me in the face!!!
Any reference links for parts is appreciated
car info:
03 Mazda Protege
130,000 miles
5-speed
