Alright, the title isn't the full details. So I've had this problem ever since I bought this car about 3 years ago. If I start from a stop it's fine, when moving at a decent speed at higher rpm it's fine. However in traffic if the RPMs drop too far and I do not have any throttle input then...

I've had my P5 for two years, and I've had the precat failure this entire time. I've ignored it and just went about my merry way until now. I need to smog it, and sell the car. It's been a fun car most of the time but I need to get this fixed or passably fixed. I read about the non-fouler and...

Ok so the entire time I've had this car I've been plagued with issues. Mostly suspension issues. One issues I've not been able to pin down is what appears to be a metal to metal squeak when turning the wheel, and slop in the suspension in this same location in acceleration or when other...

Pulled my radio to install the Miata cubby and I decided to investigate why only three of 4 fan settings (well 5, 0-4). Turns out at some point there was some sort of Dumb to ground issue from a previous owner and part of the harness melted, wires are exposed and the control doesn't work right...

So on my rear driver side caliper piston cannot be retracted far enough to fit over the new pads. Otherside is fine. When I rotate the screw to move the piston it move smoothly and I can move it in or outward. But it get to a point where the screw rotation is a little rough almost as though...

Questions: - Is there anything *different* or troublesome about the system (non-abs) - is there a disti valve or proportioning valve that can get air stuck in it. - is there a very specific method to priming the master cylinder? (I have seen some cars that have bleed valves, etc) - Any other...

Funny story, I replaced my front motor mount and i think I went to test drive the car and let the new mount settle and never fully tightened it down. It's gone now. My fault. I need to find a replacement. I looked on RockAuto and onlinemazdaparts and couldn't find a listing. I'm wondering...

I recently replaced my shocks and bearing/top hat assembly on the front and back of my car. While I was poking around on the front I noticed my sway bar end links are shot and are causing a lot grumpy noises, especially in the morning (much as I do). So I figured I'll replace them, easy enough...

So I bought a replacement bearing and strut top for my front struts. When I disassembled the struts it was clear that the previous owner/mechanic didn't may much attention to the alignment of the assembly. One side didn't even have the bottom of the spring aligned correctly where the trouble...

I just picked up a 2002 Protege 5 with ~177K on it with what I'm assuming is the stock motor. At lower RPM with no throttle I can hear the motor shift and the car shifts a little. When I step on the gas again I can hear/feel the motor torque and the car lunges forward a little as long as you...
