Last oil change was > 6 months (but less than 3000 miles) ago - all the fluid levels seem to be fine Spark plug wires and distributor cap were both replaced in the last 1.5 years While there, they also replaced the belts for the alternator and water pump (Which had been squealing for quite some time) Was just in the shop 2wks ago for overheating - found the thermostat to be bad - they replaced it and I no longer have the overheating issue. I googled the issues I was having and I got a whole array of problems - ranging from simply bad spark plug wires (which have been replaced in the past 1.5 years) to a stuck EGR valve - I’m hoping you can help sort through my problem. within legal noise level limits and Mazdas engineering standards. This afternoon, I took it out on the road for ~3 mile drive (up to ~ 50 mph) and the problem is the same - but I did also notice, when driving, that the car gave off a smell reminiscent of firecrackers - perhaps a sulfur-ish smell. The Proteges suspension was lowered and stiffened through the use a set of Racing. When I come to a stop, the car feels as if it’s going to stall but stays running. I shut the car down, hoped the problem would go away, but when I started it up later that day, the problem was still there - the car BOTH idles rough and doesn’t accelerate very smoothy. On my way home the other day, the car ABRUPTLY started to run very rough - with what I would call repetitive and incessant stuttering when accelerating (though I am by no means technical with respect to cars). But not always, only about 75 of the time. But at slower speeds, its there at almost every bump or dip in the road. At highway speeds, it either doesnt do it, or you just cant hear it.
#1990 mazda protege front end noise manual
I’m hoping you can help me out with a problem that I’ve recently encountered with my car - a 1990 Mazda Protege with a 1.8L DOHC, manual 5-spd transmission, ~173K miles on it. I have a 2008 Mazda5, and it makes this really annoying, banging or rattling type noise in the front.
