A few issues and questions for the pro5 enthusiasts

[mexicansoljah81]

Check your grounds and check the connections on your Alternator. I checked one of my grounds, the one that connects on the passenger mount, and it was not connected possibly from the previous owner. I tracked it down and re-connected it yesterday and it made a difference actually, samll but it made a difference. I will for sure be doing a complete reground kit on my car to include a an additional power wire from the alternator to the battery. Basically almost the "Big Three" without replacing my Alternator with a HO Alternator as I already have a new better battery. HO Alternator is my last resort, been having power issues with dimming lights as well.



A code P0421 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

• The catalytic converter is no longer functioning properly
• An oxygen sensor is not reading (functioning) properly
• A sparkplug is fouled up

So yes the Non-Fouler not being on would cause that. Glad you installed it and it went away and fixed your issues.

Non-fouler worked for me after adding the OBX headers.

Has anyone ever made the high beam enclosure there low beam lights and highs low enclosures? Hope that makes sense

 

[204vividPro5]

I know I can hard wire it to work but though there might be a trick to it with fuses or relays

why?

the "Easy" way is to snip and reconnect the wires.

 

[204vividPro5]

Ya that's the easy....i did this with my vw gti so that's where I'm getting the idea from lol. I want the inners be my day time running/low beams and when I turn on the high beams I want them all to turn on

 

[njaremka]

when you turn on the high beams, both sets of lights are already on. but, really, there is no advantage to swapping highs and lows. you'll actually be at a disadvantage, because the beam patterns will be messed up. (unless you perform a projector retrofit, then you can do whatever you want)

 

[204vividPro5]

Alright well it's alot less hassle to just order the low beam hid bulbs. I had a set of hid 9005's kicking around but I want low beam HID's not highs.

I have a question I was lookin around for a lowering kit for my pro5 and I ran across a used set of adjustable sleeve kit from a earlier mazda Protege...will it still work on my 2002?

 

[Ice88]

Depends on what you define as earlier. BJI stuff will work, anything earlier no.

 

[204vividPro5]

I figured it out haha thanks! For the price of springs, I might just go with 2 inch lowering springs and call it a day.

I have been having some random issues again...my car will start up, die right down to almost 50 rpm idle untill I hit the gas it revs back up, then I let off the gas it goes right back down and may stall right out. I go for a drive after keeping it reved up and park shut off and it starts and idles normally. Any ideas?

 

[204vividPro5]

Also Is It worth ripping my a/c out? I don't use it as often because it barely work anyways. Would I notice a difference? What is the procedure for removing it? I get a a/c running like idle often lately and I'm not even using my a/c...not sure why it's rough...I only notice it when the secondary cooling fan kicks on

Anyone know of any good places I could get my ecu tuned for my car
