You are in the Mazda Protege Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
Could you let me know when it's time for me to change the timing belt and how much would that most likely cost me? Thanks.

Replying to: leky (Oct 09, 2009 3:40 pm)  $100/hr is about $400 bucks out the door. So be sure to check on what you get for the price quoted, and think about what you want to replace "while you're in there".

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 08, 2009 8:44 am) Thanks for the info. I'll probably go w/ Mazda, but it looks like I should do the entire kit. Not sure yet if I'll have Dealer or Trans shop do it. As per flushing, Is the clutch hydraulic system part of the brake system, a seperate bleed line, or entire seperate system? Thanks. O15

Replying to: oldman15 (Oct 11, 2009 5:53 am) I believe the alternator is another item that you may want to have checked while "they" are there. If it's in good shape, then no worry. If not, it may be worth considering for replacement before it fails (and knocks out a battery or two).

I want to know what could possibly be the problem of a 1995 Mazda Protege burning lean when the diagnostic test says it is the 02 sensors and they have been replaced and it is still burning lean?

I have a Mazda Protege ES with 55K miles on it. I purchased it new. It has always been garaged. Recently every morning when I get it, I put it in reverse and back out into the street, stop and put it in drive. The car will hesitate for about 3 -5 seconds and then go in gear and everything is o.k. for the rest of the day. This happens every day. I had a transmission flush and fluid change at the dealer, but it didn't help with this problem. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, Abner33

Replying to: abner33 (Oct 14, 2009 5:41 pm) Do you think the weather may have anything to do with the hesitation? Some garages can get quite cold overnight and cars react to cold weather. You may want to give it a few more seconds to warm up to see if this helps.

Replying to: autonomous (Oct 15, 2009 1:44 pm) I have been experiencing this problem for about a month now. During that time we have had very warm summer type weather and even though we are having lower than normal temps now, it hasn't been below 50 degrees F. Abner33 |
