- 03' Mazda Protege5
I just bought a 03' Protege5 yesterday and was wondering what I should check/change now. The car has 130k miles and is completely stock other than a CAI. I was planning on changing all the fluids, but what other things should I be checking?
Few things that are bothering me and will need some fixing:
Car shakes over 70mph - was going to get the tires balanced, hopefully fixing this.
Car kind of skips, sputters, coughs, or what ever you call it around 4000rpm - Not really sure here....clean the egr?
Car locks up tires at low speed - This one is me getting used to no abs stickier tires will help this I hope.
Car handles beautifully(way better than my 12' Maxima) but does have some body roll - stiffer springs and sway bars
Car's lights are very dim - will be replacing today.
I really like this car and will actually be autocrossing this weekend with it.
