Hey Guys, I just wanted to follow up on my original post. Here's a little background.
I bought the 2002 Protege5 with 196k for $1000.
It was running o.k. but had stalling and starting problems.
Here are the codes it had thrown.
PO1250,PO401,PO455,PO300,PO660
So, with your recommondations I went ahead and bought and installed NGK plugs, wires, and coil packs.
I sparayed out the MAF sensor and throttle body.
The car now runs much better. It feels more responsive and pulls harder.
However, the idle is still a little funky, but i have only driven around 80 miles on the reboot.
The starting issue is still a problem. The car usually starts on the 2nd crank after I give it a pump or 2.
After about 50 miles I threw all the same codes I had started with originally.
So, while the car runs much better, I would love to hear your suggestions on what to do next.
Thank you all for the help, the car is so much fun to drive, I cant wait to get it 100%..
Mike
