So I have decided to currently drive this summer with winter tires, which are in pretty good shape.A check engine light can indicate a broad spectrum of problems with your 2002 Mazda Protege. 2 of the all season radials are totally worn out. Any one know of any company that does plastic moldings for the quarter panels to cover up the rust. I wish I had taken care of the rust problem within a couple of years after I purchased the P5. I just want to get 1-2 more years out of the P5. I have not changed the primary catalytic converter and the car seems to be running fine. On Sat I drove on 401 from Bayview Ave to Warden Ave and then went straight for Ont. After cleaning MAF and connecting the battery I did a test drive and CEL remained off.

CEL stayed off for about a day and then it came on again. ![]() Then I drove to Hamilton and Check Engine light turned off on my way back from Hamilton to Markham.

I may hang it up again this summer.Ī code reader is a great idea and you have a few options. ![]() I just removed the rubber mounts and rusted off pieces but now I have no support in the middle of the exhaust. rusted through and it was bouncing around.
