    Crushed spark plug electrode? VICS screw failure??

    I was driving home from work today, and when I got off a small stretch of highway (60mph to 20), I noticed my P5 running like s***. Engine RPM was fluctuating +/- 300 RPM under 1500, and like +/- 150 at under 3000. Really bad idle and driving experience. Lots of vibrations... to the point...

    HELP! P5 is HORRIBLY loud when accelerating??

    I was driving my stock 5spd P5 to work today, and accelerating up a small inclined road. Revved up to 4k and something popped.. my once nearly silent P5 turned into a motorboat on wheels. If I didn't know better, I would say that there is a problem with my exhaust system.. BUT, the strange...

    Improving gas mileage, mods/tips

    anyone have any? I feel like I'm straying far from the EPA estimated 25mpg city; granted that there were some snowy slippery days in the last couple weeks and a few minutes of idling every morning... Would a MP3 ECU w/ premium fuel increase MPG? A CAI/SRI? What's the optimal cruising RPM for...

    New Hawk HPS Rear Brake Pads

    Hawk HB436F.535 They seems like a pretty consistent $70 on the web, so I'll sell for $50 + shipping (should be like $4~??). Looks like the pads fit all the Proteges (regular, MP3, in my case P5) besides the MSP but check for yourself on the Hawk website. If you can find them anywhere else...

    Handbrake doesn't engage on rear passenger wheel! And which brake pads?

    I got another P5 last week to replace my old totaled one.. it was out of state, so now I need to get an in-state inspection. It should pass effortlessly, but I came across an issue a couple days after I bought it; the handbrake doesn't hold the car firmly - it's quite noticeable if you live in a...

    Car accident!!!

    no DL yet and I already got in an accident...but at least it's the other driver's obvious fault so insurance should cover it. The police officer said that a report would come in like 5 days, but do you guys have any input if the car is reasonably repairable? It runs and drives after the crash...

    CEL & sluggish driving after wheel rotation~!

    bought this car not even 2 months ago, so I was starting some routine maintenance schedules... I decided to rotate the wheels yesterday. Put the car on jack stands and swapped the tires like C in this picture. The rear two wheels were REALLY stuck on the hub, so I loosened the rear wheels a bit...

    Help removing the maplight/sunroof panel!

    I removed the lens (1) and maplight bulbs (2) but I can't figure out how to remove the map light (3)! My maplight buttons don't "click" in place and the lights don't light... I noticed 2 screws sitting on the lens (1) that evidently came from the maplight buttons because there were 2 other...

    Door lock actuator gears..

    The last listing I saw for the gear by itself was on ebay.... dated last year. Is there any hope for them to be relisted? I can't justify spending a couple hundred on actuators assemblies. Are all the actuators interchangeable (front/back/hatch)? I've had thoughts, that if I couldn't buy new...

Bought a black 2003 Protege5 yesterday - awesome condition, really clean, and drives great... although it was the low rust that really tipped the scales and got it sold (naughty) Just a few minor problems.. 3/5 doors don't lock/unlock electronically and the back...
