Hello all, I have a 2001 Protege DX with 214k miles. For a while now, it's been cranking slow in the mornings. Last week, I got stranded when I came out of a shop and the darn think wouldn't crank at all. Lights came on, radio worked, etc., but when I turned the key, nothing happened under the...

I replaced the front end links. The handling is definitely a bit tighter, but the rattling isn't completely gone. What's the next suspect I should bring in for questioning?

Car: 2001 Protege DX, Automatic Personal best: 37 mpg Personal worst mpg: 29 Gas used: 87. Mods: Not a damn one. In fact, I got 37 with old spark plugs and slightly under-inflated tires; granted, it was all on the highway and I kept the A/C turned off. I just put in a new air filter, inflated...
