i'll have to go into laughlin again so the guy could check it out for me.
i noticed that it happened after i washed the engine. the only thing i covered was the alternator.
i'll see what the verdict is when i go back in to get it checked... |
The thing about washing your engine is that you should try to wash it when the engine is cold. washing it when the engine is still hot can cause the sensors to go bad. Sensors are delicate. think what happens when they are hot and then suddenly go cold. ... Anyway in addition to what fiveforward said I use some carb spray. Comes in real handy. |
Well i waited for it to cool down before i started washin'. i waited about 2 hours, it was still warm but it's not like i hosed the entire engine down with water. i took it step by step. i did the under side of the hood first while the engine got more time to cool down, but i get where you're comin' from.
i didn't get time today to go back by laughlin, but i will try tomorrow. |

^^yes you can and they were all made in japan but were all shipped to the US and Canada. I saw a protege here already, probably came from the US or Canada, was left hand drive.
Why would you want a protege anyways? |

^^to me that doesn't make much sense seein' that it's turbocharged
the engine from the sport20 is a 2.0L with an estimated 170HP and it's NA
speakin' of which i'm lookin' for an engine like that to swap with my 1.5L
oh btw, not all the proteges there has a 2.0L. they came in 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0. what you're talkin' about is the MSP (MAZDASPEED Protege).
there's also the MP3, so name because it was the first car that came with an mp3 player. |

Yup. I was a bit anxious as it was my first run...I really beleive I can get her to run just under 20. Also...I didn't even change into 3rd gear by the time I reached the 1320...my second gear is pretty lazy.
