no it will not fit.it is not the same lenght and the same height
The Protege's went through a small redesign for the 2001 model year.
under the trottle body
It should be underneath the throttle body on the back of the intake manifold
Directly under the throttle body. A few 10 or 12mm bolts. and a plug also i believe. Very easy, just in a bad spot.
Your Mazda Protege might make rattling noises when parked because of a loose or damaged muffler or even body panels that are loose. It might also make a rattling noise because of a damaged motor mount.
you must unbolt the frame from the body to be able to access 2 bolts
The EGR is right under the throttle body. It has like a little black top. You have to remove the intake hose to see it. Its a pain to get to and remove.
it is in the right back of the engine right under the throtle body
It's bolted right on top of the egr valve which is on the back of the engine under the throttle body there will be a small vacuum line going into where the egr valve bolts into the intake
most parts are yes. most parts are also interchangeable for ford probes of the same year range (excluding body parts of course --- Many interchangeable parts on 1993 Mazda Mx6: 1993-1996 Mazda 626 1993-1996 Ford Probe some parts off the Mazda MX3 some parts off the 1998-2003 Mazda Protege some parts with 1996 are not compatible due to OBDII legislature, which changed emissions and other changes.
I own a 2002 Mazda Protege5 with the FS2.0 Motor. The EGR Valve is located below the throttle-body. You must take off the Intake tube to get a good view of it. To replace it I think you might have to take off the throttle-body, but I'm not sure about that...(yet) NOTE: Mazda put out a technical note stating that "if your car has sat for a long time, the egr valve could be damaged by moisture (rain) and will need to be replaced". My 2002 Protege sat for 3 weeks and the rain caused this exact issue and had to be replaced. How did I know? The engine light came on (after never coming on) and the car had an extremely rough idle. Total cost was ~$400 (ouch).
completely correct. along with 1 plug though. I believe it is directly under the throttle body. Held it by a couple 10 or 12mm bolts. Make sure to replace the gasket. on the exhaust manifold
