Thanks for the info pcb & mrgiggles,
I haven't checked the alternator yet... but my lights are dimming worse and worse if i hit the window button ect...
I ordered one of the obd2 blue tooth scanners, that use the torque app, for recording live data while driving.
It should be here soon, I'm not working on the protege5 until I have it. I'm tired of speculating.
also update:
the (2) mazda oem plug wire leads came. ($50 bucks for both)
compared to the other 5 sets of aftermarket wires I have... they are much higher quality.
-the rubber boot part is 1/8" longer than all the others,
-the inside metal connectors are very beefy,
-the leads fit so tightly inside the head and to the coil pack.
if the mazda oem coil packs are of the same quality @ 100$ each >.<... they are probably a must have...
