Check Engine Light

2003 Mazda Protege5

Property of paulp5 Added Mar 2010

Automatic transmission. VICS and VTCS was completely removed from intake manifold (September 07 2008 to August 17 2011). No performance mods. I do have about 40 pounds of audio equipment in the trunk that is lowering my mileage but the low mpg is mostly caused by VICS and VTCS not used. But I have good news! I just got a complete intake manifold with VICS and VTCS in it that i will be putting on my car once i clean it so my milage should get better. I got it from a friend that got himself a new engine and it came with a new intake so he gave me his old one. Also, I use different wheels and tires during winter months when pothole activity is at its highest. Winter wheels and tires are 185/65/14. summer are 205/40/16. Because the summer size tires are smaller than stock my odometer will show that i drove more miles but its actually less. All fuel-ups are at BJ's Wholesale Club except where noted.

Note: As of August 17 2011 I once again have VICS/VTCS working in my car so I should have an increase in MPG.
