2000 Mazda Protege review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just bought the car about 2 weeks ago. The check engine light came on along with the battery light. Had the battery and alternator tested and they were fine. The car was idling low and sometimes it wouldn't start until several attempts. Took the car to the mechanic to be diagnosed. It came up as needing an ignition coil. Replaced coil, plugs and wires. It ran OK for 3 days, now it didn't start once and is running sluggish. Does anyone have any suggestions??? Has anyone had this problem before? Apparently this is common in these cars.
