yeah he did plugs and stuff, apparently the problem started when he cut the fuel line to install an inline filter. replaced the cut line with an original but it still not working, that real confusing...

it seems like the line not holding pressure

yea the battery mabe not all that good its a ac delco i really feel its something with the line pressure i have noticed lately that the car seems to struggle going up hills with the ac on its like it doesnt want to downshift so when i manually do it it feels like its dying down and after a couple secs it picks up my gp b14 does this its like the car needs some time to cope with the stress of going up the hill the power to go up the hill is not instant u feel it after 2 -3 secs lol dont know if this is normal mabe the fuel pump causes tis i dont know thanks for the help

If you try everything and still no headway... then I suggest a good ole bushbath!

maybe you should actually visit a mechanic first?

When you cut the line initially, there's the possibility that you sent crap down into the rail which may have clogged some injectors.

lol checked already i checked those who does deal up with plenty mazda and even i had to show them a thing or two dont get me wrong i have a diploma in auto and diesel craft im no novice when it comes to getting around a car its just this problem seems real unusal especially if i put sheit back to orignal i back tracked all my steps i cleaned the rail already scrapped it down to injectors only is like wateva now it go fix whenever .

problem:
drivin on d highway cross 100.....front 323 protege start to vibrate......gone by mechanic fix mounts align, balance same brob....so now im tinkin axle prob? wher can i go get that chked? and axle fixed if necessary?

sounds like u need speed balancing

or bad tyre cut, if ur tyres cut badly it can cause instability at speed and tracking, aka car pulls etc...

sounds like bad tires bro also go balance the tires somewhere else it have some men who does do some real half ass balance work out there good luck

asking for friend here.. he got the mazda protege 2003(i think) problem hes getting is the OD/hold light keeps flashing on dash.. want to know what to do(car runs fine btw) but want to check it out could lead up to someting serious down de road
note did a tranny oil change about a week ago

_________________

^^ What tranny oil he used? He has to get it scanned, blinking O/D light is prolly an elect problem in the tranny. The hold light flashing is telling you that a problem has been detected and needs attention. (The HOLD light is the transmission's CEL)

will let him know thanks

has any1 ever used a universal 02 sensor there is a herko they sell everywhere does any1 have any good results with these im trying to find a direct fit but there seems to be none availible im getting the trouble code p0402

and oxygen sensor is a metering device that is calibrated against a reading so you get a relative reading. Don't use an universal oxygen sensor.

ah come across dis in de manual see if it go help!!!
DTC P0402 : EGR flow excessive detected
POSSIBLE
CAUSE
• EGR valve gasket is not installed.
• EGR valve gasket has been damaged.
• PCM malfunction

Yup, just as in the link ^^

On a side note, mine is burning copious amounts of gas.

No running issues whatsoever but my mileage has dropped to maybe 320km on $100 gas

did you clean the egr check it for sticking also that can cause you to burn gas real bad just to 12 bolts and your out btw what is the avg km for a full tank of super gas np or unipet i prefer unipet it burns slower in my books anyways post your km fellas plus any1 with info to get a direct fit 02 sensor

No performance increase or decrease (well in theory its a decrease if its using more fuel to do the same work) Within the last 2-3 weeks, i've noted the drop in mileage, same runs, same gas station.

My plugs, air filter, TB and MAF are inspected and cleaned as necessary every oil change 8-9K km.

It's time for an oil change, didn't know dirty oil could affect mileage that much, is that possible? I'm approaching 150k on the odo, how long is an O2 sensor good for?

Shimon, my EGR's been disconnected for years.
