I just ran out to measure and it looks like they're 54 or 55 mm. I can see rims with a 54.1 mm centrebore so it looks like that might be the ones I want.

I'm ordering some steel rims online and I'm getting some conflicting info wrt centrebore size. It's a 2003 Mazda Protege LX 2.0 with R15 wheels and a 4 x 100 bolt pattern. A lot of the online tools are telling me I need a 67.1 mm centrebore but that seems way too big. Can someone confirm a...

The symptoms that you are describing could definitely be the cracked air intake, depending where the crack is. Sounds like a vacuum leak. It could also be the EGR valve but you might not be able to diagnose this until the cracked hose is first replaced. If you do end up going the EGR valve...

Well, problem is solved. I'm not 100% sure what of the fault, but here it is: I'd been thinking that it was the IAC valve, because that's what controls the idle. And because it's one of the first steps in the service manual for this rough idle/stall problem. I took it out, cleaned it again...

Hi, appreciate the response. I was on hold for a while waiting for a gasket to come in. The old throttle body gasket was toast and just installed the new one. Replaced both coil packs and all plugs. I had also taken the EGR valve off and given it a cleaning. It was sticking when I first...

Yeha I've heard that too. And if I need one, I'll pick up the Cdn version. Cheaper too, at my parts store. But what I want to know is: do I need to replace my EGR valve? Or is it operating normally?

I know I'm reviving an old thread, but I'm experiencing similar problems of rough idle and stall and think it may be my EGR valve. I pulled the assembly out today and took the value off for cleaning. But I noticed that the spring does not pop back up if depressed. The valve sticks down or it...

Hello- just joined the site and thought I'd say hello. I've been a Mazda owner for a while... my first car was an old manual protege that I drove into the ground (literally). I've since traded up and around and currently I'm driving a 2003 Protege 2.0L LX, in addition to my pickup. She's...

[SOLVED] Rough idle, stalling, doesn't start This morning my wife was driving to a class and called me saying she had pulled over on the side of the road due to some heavy shaking and stuttering. After turning it off, the car would crank and crank but not turn over. We had it towed home and...
