The standard limited slip differential on the Mazdaspeeds proved to be of a weak design but this vehicle will not have that problem due to the enthusiast’s improvement. All power equipment works exactly as designed and the air-conditioner blows ice-cold air. The Racing Hart alloy wheels are in excellent condition and hold a set of Fuzion Sport UHP tires with very little mileage on them.
The Mazdaspeed models came with 4 wheel independent suspension and this was improved upon by the addition of TEIN lowering springs. ABS braking is standard on this vehicle and the existing pads are in excellent condition. A Split Second AFC (air fuel controller) was installed. Although this set-up negatively affects cold start-ups, it adds plenty of power when the engine is warm. The stock intake manifold was replaced with a ported manifold for better performance. The standard intercooler was changed to a much larger front mounted Corksport model along with a Corksport cold air intake. The system uses a MagnaFlow muffler for increased power. The exhaust piping was increased to 2.5 inches resulting in a much less restricted flow. The Mazdaspeed Protégé came with many features unique to this model over the base Protégé models: A 5-speed transmission was standard and this vehicle benefits from a newly added performance clutch. Although the improved specs are not known, it is obvious from driving this vehicle that a tremendous improvement is noted over the stock Mazdaspeed. of torque at 3,500 RPMs, the enthusiast knew that a larger intercooler and a less restricted exhaust would increase these numbers and he was proven to be correct. While the stock Mazdaspeed produced 170 horsepower at 6,000 RPMs with 160 lb.-ft. The mechanical expertise shown by this aficionado is well demonstrated with this project. The automobile was never raced, or driven hard for that matter, but the results of a few changes made this car far superior to the stock Mazdaspeed models. The owner was a true enthusiast who purchased the vehicle in stock condition and addressed the few concerns that other Mazdaspeed owners commented on to make this car even better. The car is awesome, and the turbocharger is a tone of fun, but I shouldn't have to be scared of restarting the car to come to a stop.2003 Mazda MAZDASPEED Protege It was only in 2003 that Mazda produced the Protégé Mazdaspeed model and this vehicle is, we are sure, the most outstanding example of this fine automobile.
2003 mazdaspeed protege kl swap gains full#
I really hope you guys can help because it's been a real problem for me, and it stresses me out and I cannot get the full riding experience out of my Protege. So I thought I would come to Mazda, and Mazdaspeed Protege experts for my problem. I don't know what's causing this problem, maybe it's the idle air control valve, but I am so unsure as the "internet" has said so many things. I've taken the car to 3 different mechanics and none of them have an answer for the "DVI" problem, as they've never seen it before.
The check engine light also says some called "distance variable inertia" or something like that. I have a check engine light on for an O2 censor which I have replaced and the light remains on. The car has a normal idle at a stand still, and this problem doesn't happen when I'm going about under 20 MPH but anything above or so will kill the engine and make me restart. This problem isn't a huge deal in that circumstance, but if you need to hold the clutch while taking a turn in order to slow yourself and take yourself out of gear, you would have to step on the clutch and the car will die, resulting in the loss of power steering which is Dangerous. This is a problem when getting off the highway and I need to slow down quickly so I would step on the clutch and use my brake, but the car wil die and when I do come to a stop the car will have to be started again. The car will continue to roll because the clutch is in, and it will start back up if I release the clutch (pretty much a push start just kicking the engine over). The car isn't stalling and jolting, the clutch initiates as it properly should, but the battery and oil light come on and the engine stops.
I bought my Mazdaspeed Protege a couple months back and I've had a reoccurring problem where every time I I use my clutch the car just dies.
