- 2002 Protege 5
Hey
I have been having a problem with my 2002 protege 5 110000 miles. Over the past year it sounds like it is randomly misfiring. Now it is getting so bad that the car stalls in idle. Any sometimes it stalls when I press the gas pedal. Code reads multiple random cyclinder misfire. What can be causing this? I can smell gasoline very strongly from the exhaust. Is it my timing belt? It is so bad I can't even drive it. I took it to a mechanic a few months ago, and they charged me $200 and said they couldnt figure it out and it stopped so they couldn't find anything. I dont want to pay for a new timing belt just to have to pour more money into something else. any ideas?
