BEFORE YOU SEND YOUR CAR TO CHECK. I WANT TO ASK YOU, DID YOUR CAR HAVE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON? IF DIDN'T, I WANT YOU DO THIS TEST, GET A CAN BRAKE CLEANER(C-T HAS IT), SPRAY AT INTAKE MAINFORD SEE ENGINE IDLE AND RPM IF CHANGES OR NOT, BECAUSE INTAKE AIR LEAK MAY DO THE SAME PROBLEM. LET KNOW.

I saw your latest thread on the china smile. Let me
try to give you the whole story.
This car run pretty well in the past four years except
the check engine light came on once about two years. I
brought it to the dealer and it was fixed under
warranty. I was told the intake gasket leak and it was
pretty common on 2000 protege.
Until about three weeks ago, I start having the
problem. About 5-10 minutes right after I drove the
car from last time. I started the car and felt it
shaking heavily. After couple of seconds the check
engine lights start flashing. Since I had baby on
board so I decided to drive it back first. After
driving 10-15m on the road, I felt a hunting then the
shaking stopped and the car run well. The light stayed
on for couple of day then went off.
At about half and half chances, I got the same problem
right after the car is hot (right after driving). I
changed the spark plug, flush the fuel system but it
seems not helping. I also bought a OBD 2 scanner on
the ebay and tried to scan the code out first. However
the scanner doesn't work on Japanese car.
Until last weekend, after I off the highway and
waiting on the red, the car start shaking at idling
again and the check engine light kept flashing. I
tried to keep driving (because the shaking would went
away in the previous if I kept driving it) but this
time the problem stayed. I drove about five minutes
and finally pulled over at the closed Mazda dealer (at
yonge/steel) to check. Too bad they were very busy at
time and I had to go home first. I started the engine
again and it didn't shaking this time but the check
engine light kept flashing, even the car was still
hot. I drove another five minutes with the light
flashing to home and the shaking didn't come back when
idling.
At this moment, I can start the car with NO shaking or
vibration at all but the check engine light is keeping
flashing. I decided not to drive it until I come to
your or go to the dealer for service.
I didn't try the brake spray because it is too late to
go to C-T, also the lgiht does stay flashing when the
engine is on. Also I had check the spark plug wire and
coil resistance too and it seems okay. Should I check
the resistance of the EGR or IAC?
This is about the whole story and I hope not to
confuse you too much.
If you would like to give me call, please do so at
(416) 502 1641.
Thanks again for the help,
Tom

ONE MORE THING I WANT TO KNOW, HOW ABOUT IDLE, RUNS ROUGH OR NOT, IF IDLE RUNS SHAKING, AFTER GIVE GAS RAIS RPM, THE CAR RUNS OK OR NOT? PLEASE GIVE ME CLEARLY ANSWER, THIS CHECK EGR VALVE, THE REST IS COIL, COIL IS ANOTHER COMMON PROBLEM
