- Mazda Protege5
hey mazda fam. looks like I might be down for a while. I had a sudden misfire happen to me like 3-4 days ago. the car threw a flashing cel and the code I got was P0302. I took it into the shop and they deducted that apiece of a valve is broken off. They said for the work to be done and thats not including misc part or other things they might find wrong along the way to an amount of $2k so at this point i think I might be looking at a new engine or is it something that I can fix on my own with some help? I do love the car and I've invested a lot of time on it and I don't have the money to buy another car atm the only one I would even replace it with would be a much newer subaru impreza. I just find a hatch so much more practical. Any info on where to start to look or maybe if you guys might have a spare engine laying about? thanks
