#1126 of 1132 Re: 2000 Protege stalls [downtube] by testdummy Jul 28, 2009 (9:01 am)
Replying to: downtube (Jul 27, 2009 7:35 pm) Thanks for the reply, what I mean by, "tries to crank" is that the engine turns over but will not start (just as you guessed). How hard will it be for a novice to replace the camshaft sensor? Where is it located? I'm assumming it should be somewhere near the valve covers.    I have more time than money.   Thanks again for your reply.

Replying to: testdummy (Jul 28, 2009 9:01 am) The camshaft position sensor should be right beside the oil filler cap on the valve cover. Removal/installation is fairly simple.   1. Disconnect the negative battery post 2. Disconnect the harness from the sensor ** 3. Remove the sensor bolt 4. Remove the sensor   Installation is the reverse. Torque spec for the bolt is 70 inch-pounds. It's an aluminum head, so don't over-torque or you'll strip the threads!   ** There will be a tab on the connector you depress with a finger allow the harness to unplug to the sensor. Or there might be one on each side. If you buy a new sensor first, study it to see how this mechanism works. You don't want to break the harness.   Good luck.

#1129 of 1132 After market cruise control by testdummy Sep 08, 2009 (9:32 am)
I have a 2000 Mazda Protege with a 1.6L engine/ 5 speed manual transmission. It does not have a cruise control and I'm looking for an aftermarket cruise control kit. Any and all suggestions of where to get one will be greatly appreciated. I called Advanced Auto Parts and they do not sell the kits.   Thanks in advance.
