My Protege failed the Georgia emissions. The repair shop said the EGR valve was probably bad. The NO's were very high (90 points above the allowed limits) The problem is that I don't have a clue where the EGR valve is located. The shop said it's under the intake manifold. Anyone out there in Protege land know?

Replying to: guidry3 (Oct 24, 2007 7:02 am) See http://protege5.ugly.net The part is pricey but once you've replaced it you'll see the difference in your emissions tests. You might also want to consider a fuel induction service to really clean out the system. |

I had my timing belt and other belts (serpentine, etc)changed a week ago. After that, my protege 2000 is squealing like hell every time I accelerate. I sent it back to fix the problem 3 times already, and the problem is still there. They said they replaced the belts twice already. Perhaps I have to learn how to fix it and take the answer to the mechanic guys.... Any help of what could be the problem?

We have a 2002 Mazda protege5, And this is the second time in little over a year, our ABS, emergency Brake, and O.D OFF light comes on, and our speedometer tops at little over 40kmh. when we try to excellerate it just revs. We have an automatic, but it's like we can't get out of first gear. We called mazda where we got it fix and decribed our problem again and they said they have never heard of that problem before!

Replying to: eddyzoom (Oct 27, 2007 9:16 am) I have a 1999 Mazda Protege that had the OD Off light problem and it was an indication that my transmission had a leak. I had the transmission rebuilt and it is working fine. It seemed to have the problem only after the car sat overnight. Maybe take it to a transmission place and have them do a diagnostic, though it did not show a problem. I got the car in right away when it started having a problem. |

| I am considering purchasing a 2000 Protege from an individual. It runs and drives great, but the Check Engine light is on. The owner says he's had it scanned and the fault is with the "Clutch Position Sensor". I'll have the vehicle inspected including a scan before purchasing, but I'm curious if anyone has experience with this type of fault code. | |
| My 2002 Protege ES cuts out or misses at 2800-3000rpm, above that and below it is fine. Doesn't matter whether you aare going slow or fast. | |

My 97 protege's fan only works on the 1 and 2 speed. Replaced the blower motor resistor and it did not help. Where do I go from here. Thanks for the help!! |

Replying to: eddie34 (Oct 26, 2007 12:30 pm) have them change the tension setting on the timing belt tensioner. i just had the same problem on my 03 protege, and had to have the shop fix it. if they are not adjusting the tension on the belt properly, you'll get that nasty squeal! |

I've seen this posted befor but i couldn't find the answer so here it goes. I have a 2000 mazda protege ES. Just recently when I go to put gas in it I can only put a little at a time because it starts to overfill. What it does is allows me to put about a half a gallon and then it overfills. Then I wait about 20 sec and start the whole thing over again. It is very much a pain in the ass. It takes me about 10 min to put $10 in my tank and thats at $3.50 a gallon!! Any help would be great.
