Hey Guys.
I have a 98 Protege', 1.5L, auto, a/c..
Recently, my car has developed at idle issue. When I first start the car in the morning, it runs just fine. Idles perfectly. But once the car has warmed up, it starts acting up.
Once warmed, the car will either have a really rough idle or it won't idle at all.
I checked around under the hood for basic stuff like loose or bad vacuum hoses and unplugged sensors. All is well.
Checked the air hose from the MAF sensor to the throttle body. Its in great shape. No holes or cracks and still very flexible.
I did notice one thing that does have me concerned though. I hear a slight popping sound coming from the filter box coming down the line of course from the intake. Don't know if this would give any clue to what the issue is.
The check engine light has been on for over a year. I had it scanned numerous times and each time, the scanner says no codes to be found. Tried with several different scanners. Same thing. I disconnect the battery negative cable and turn on the headlight switch for a few min. Reconnect and the light is gone till I run the car for about 50 miles then it comes on again. Still no codes..
Anyone have any idea what to do with this?
Thanks
