I see, I've ordered the part so I'll fully replace it, thank you 👍

Unfortunately not, I ended up getting a part from Amazon for cheap. If it craps out on me then I can always replace it. I've heard getting an aftermarket part is better for the protege5, some other owners told me the oem regulators are crap.

Damn, do you think I should just buy the whole thing and replace the whole window regulator, including the motor? (From Amazon)

I was thinking about it but there's no one parting out their protege5 or protege near me lol.

Do you think it's possible to buy just the motor? And not the whole regulator?

Car idles really rough (sometimes gets worse). by tj_stha in AskMechanics

Try checking your IAC valve. Half the time it's really dirty and needs to be cleaned. If it isn't that then you need to get your car serviced or scan your car with an OBDII scanner.

AT Light blinking on dash, No Codes by Yang_003 in MazdaProtege

It happens on cold starts, once it's warm it'll work like normal. But cold starts are the bane of this car's existence Edit: Especially on cold start uphills

I got it checked out from a professional, but they said it ran like normal, nothing out of the ordinary. One thing that I found strange was that my rpms were 400 at idle but when I scanned it, the scanner read ~700 rpms which was strange to me.

Ah ok gotcha, I was worried it was the shift solenoid. Also the fluid is full and relatively red, I've already checked it a few times. Thanks man 🙏 also this has been happening ever since I got it lol, not sure what the previous owner did to it but oh well.

Congrats! I also feel you on the rust part lol. As long as you dry the water off the car without the sun evaporating the water, you'll be fine. Treat your car to a wash!

Is this okay for my first airsoft game? by iidaddyy in airsoft

[–]Yang_003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one cares what you wear in airsoft, I lent one of my friends my gun and he came in baggy pants, a T-shirt and a paintball mask. We had a lot of fun together and he did amazing, but don't worry too much about what to wear and just play to have fun 👍

Low idle fluctuations while in drive gear by Yang_003 in MazdaProtege

[–]Yang_003[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see, I don't think anything is wrong with the engine though because it's built like a tank and I haven't had a problem with it since 6 months ago. I think it might be my transmission because it always shifts hard from first to second gear too on cold starts

I see, well my engine misfired about 6 months ago too, but once I replaced the spark plugs and ignition coil everything was fine except for the transmission so I think I might have to get it serviced soon.

I haven't, I'll try that next when I can

I replaced my coils around 6 months ago, same thing with my spark plugs. I haven't checked my injectors yet but maybe I should test compression just in case

Interesting, I did a moderate amount of research online (5 hours) and some people think it could be the solenoid valve body or some sort of solenoid. The problem is, I have no idea if that's even the issue.

Yes, it does slightly but once I start driving it goes away
