Edwards got tired of his back flip so he tried a new version of it.

Mazda Protege5

So I reset the CPU and put the new (bosche) plugs back in with the exsiting coil pack and wires. Everthing is back to normal except for a small rough idol...

(1 week later)
...well the rough idol got worse and now the engine light is on again.

I took it to a shop, they ran the code and one of the fuel injectors is leaking. Stupid me, when i was first starting to take the plugs out i accidently started to take the injectors out. Well I guess I did not put it back scure / properly. Any way the shop is saying it will cost $378 to replace the seals and clean them. Seems out ragious since it is right on top of the engine. If I knew what to do I would do it (look were that got me the frist time).

Any suggestions? The shop also said to have a look at the timing belt, but I think I will put that off until it gets closer to the manufactures recommeded milage.

yeah, and if you're not confident, I would definately recommend not playing with anything fuel related in your engine.

hopefully soon.
I've been itching to make it out to a meet again, been FAR too long since I've been out there.

Maybe we'll throw another B-day bash @ Keith's this year.
I'll bring the Carne Asada if you guys want.

haha, thanks speed!
Yeah, I've never been a huge fan of black wheels on black cars. I will admit, the look has grown on me some after seeing certain cars here but for me, I knew it had to be Silver.

Hmmm... someone photo chop those onto speed's old car, now I'm curious.

R3 wheels would look good on your car. Just keep checking the F/S section, I'm sure you'll start seeing more of them and the prices should drop.
