How do you replace a CV Axle in a 1.5L 95 Mazda Protege without Anti Lock Brakes?

Is it normal to be nervous when you are driving a car solo for the first time?
Absolutely! I am in my 40's and still get nervous driving a different car for the first time. I think I would be scared for you if you weren't nervous. Enjoy your new independence, listen and trust yourself, and be careful. Of course it's normal! It's just human nature when we try new things we are alittle shaky and anxious. Who wasn't nervous when they drove a car solo for the first time? If you're feeling nervous, you should spend more time with someone else in the car with you first. You are not comfortable enough on the road alone, and it's okay. You need to think of other people on the road, and the safety of yourself as well. It will take time, but you'll be fine soon.

Where is the egr valve on a 92 Pontiac Lemans 1.6 ltr?
The EGR valve is hidden under the air filter box. It lies on top of the intake manifold, just in front of the throttle body. It will have a vacuum line leading to the T.B. as well. Test it by sucking on it's hose and feeling under the round dome. The valve should move, and not return until you let air back in.

How do you turn off the check engine light on a Mazda Protege?
As with most computers you may reset it by disconnecting the battery for a time and for good measure ground the positive termnial wire against the chassi. Of course if you still have a problem the light will come one again as soon as the computer detects a fault.

Engine turns over but the car won't start what should i do?
1) Floor the accelerator while you try to start it. (make sure the car is in park if it's an auto or neutral if it's a stick)
2) Check to see if you have spark. If you do, proceed to #5.
3) Pull off your distributor cap and make sure the rotor is secure.
4) "Tap" your starter.
5) Check to see if you have fuel pressure. (taking off the top line of your fuel filter and having someone turn the key to "on". this should cause fuel to flow so make sure you have an empty can or cup to catch the fuel in)
How do you reset the computer on a Mazda MVP?

Mine had the same problem. Mine ended up overheating. Could be 1. Water pump gone bad. 2. slow leak from the valve cover gasket leaking oil onto your Alternator belt. That leak is caused by the bolts on top vibrating until they get loose. I am checking my thermostat just incase, but the screeching stopped when it overheated, so I am pretty sure it is the bearings in the water pump, failed at 50,000 miles. Get it replaced before the motor gets damaged/warped/cracked and you have to junk it.
Where is fuel filter on 2002 Mazda Protege?
The only fuel filter in a 2002 Protege is in the fuel pump, which is in the gas tank. The filter is designed to last the life of the pump.

Why is a 1994 Mazda Protege noisy at idle speed?
"Noisy" because the engine is vibrating more than normal? Low idle will cause the engine to shake. Low idle can be caused by - Dirty/clogged/sticking EGR valve - Vacuum leak or air intake leak - Dirty MAF sensor
Is th 1995 Mazda Protege an OBD-II?
Look for the OBD II connector under the driver's side dash. It was required 1996 and up but some models had the connector before it was necessary.
Answer96 and upAccording to the Chilton's manual, the 1995 Protege and Millenia are OBD-II, also 1994-1995 Mazda 626 with ATX transmissions are OBD-II, and then all models 96 and up...
I have a 95 buick with OBD II, however it requires a different plug to work with a scanner. If you take the car to Autozone or Advance Auto Parts to have them scan it and it won't scan it could be the same reason mine won't. In 95 they were transitioning to the (then new) OBD II system, and some of the first OBD II harnesses only had 5 pins rather than the full (I believe 10 pins) found on the 96 and later OBD II harnesses.
If the timing belt broke in a 2000 Mazda Protege 1.8 will the car be damaged?
A 2000 Mazda Protege with 1.8 DOHC engine appears to be a "free-running" engine, meaning there is no valve/piston interference in case the timing belt broke. There is enough clearance between the valve and piston, even if the cam stops (i.e. the timing belt breaks) with the valve fully open. Therefore, the car will not be damaged if the timing belt broke.
