When replacing the timing belt on a 1997 Mazda Protege 4 cylinder do you have to replace the water pump too?

It would be wise to do so, since you have to remove the timing belt et. al. to change the water pump. If you have to take one off,you might as well do both at the same time. If you're brave enough to take on a timing belt, then you might as well replace the water pump. It's 10 years old, so it's questionable how much it's got left.

Where is the EGR valve on a 98 Cavalier?

Answer
I purchased an EGR valve for my 2000 Cavalier and couldn not find it either. So I went to autoparts house and they looked to no avail. Then went to dealer who also could not find it. Hmmmmmmm, alas it does not have one. Why? Well, it is my understanding that certain government vehicles do not require one. Was mine one of them. I don't know. But I can tell you that all EGR valves are bolted to the manifold, and for cavaliers it is typically on the drivers side of the engine. Good luck with this one.




Not all cars have an EGR valve, government or not. It depends on the engineering designs of how cool the engine runs, and how much NOx is produced under load. If not a lot is produced in the first place, the converter would likely take care of it nicely.
some years makes models did not have one.

such as the 1992 3.8L engines for example

and others.

government has nothing to do with it. some of these engines with the pollution controls they were built with put out acceptable levels of nox and otrher gases low enough to not warrant the need of an egr valve.

How do you open stuck Glove Box door on 2003 Mazda protege?

The plastic latch is pretty cheap and breaks off after awhile. Grab the latch (the part you grab w/ a finger to open it)with a pair of pliers and snap it right off. The latch is all one piece so you will have to replace it anyway. Once the plastic pull has been snapped off you can insert a small screwdriver through the opening you see and push down and the glove box will open right up. The latch is held on from the inside with three screws, $29.95 from Mazda or cheaper from a junkyard....

How do you clean the EGR valve on a 2000 Mazda Protege?

The best way I've had a EGR cleaned (it was on a 1996 Dodge avenger, but EGR's work the same) was using a product called seafoam. The way to use it is to have someone work the gas (with the car running) to keep it from stalling, and slowly pour the Seafoam into a direct vacuum line to the intake manifold. It should smoke like crazy, so don't worry. Pour abour half the can in, then stop the engine after pouring. Let the car sit for about 5-10 min, then restart. Take it for a quick drive to get rid of the extra seafoam in the engine, and you should be okay. If the engine light doesn't go off, take it somewhere (advance auto parts) and have them delete the code.

How do you reset the check engine light on a 2002 Mazda protege?

If you already fixed the reason for the light, then you have 2 options: Option A is to disconnect both of your battery terminals for about 10 minutes, but you lose all your radio presets and your clock. Option B is to go to an autoparts store and have them hook up the handheld diagnostic machine and reset the code that turned the light on, they do this for free you just have to drive it there.

You can also buy an OBD II reader and do it yourself, although not free.

(http://www.nextag.com/obd-ii-code-reader/search-html)

Auto parts stores will not diagnose/reset the code for free, at least not in California.
