Seems this problem is not isolated to the 02's, as I've got this exact problem. sounds like junk! Not a problem after the car reaches NOT, but before that, it's a problem I don't like. It's the damn rattle when you actually drive the car. mazda protege 5See complete 2003 Mazda Protege5 Specs at iSeeCars.73 in. ~HH It's not at idle, actually idle sounds quite normal. In the Protege5, this same solenoid is used for EGR, VTCS, VICS, and PRC among others. I don't know about yours, but no matter what the temperature or conditions, my 1.6 rattle would go away completely after 1 or 2 accelerations from a stop. And for reference, my 93 Miata had a cold rattle also (it was the 1.6 motor), but this was generally accepted to be a function of some heat shielding or something. Fraya713 Member: 2002 Mazda Protege5 1 Pulled a p0660 code on my P5 and I. I don't believe the 1.6 has the VTCS system, or at least not the same one. The 2.0 issue is definitely not your average cold engine noises - and it generally doesn't matter what the outside temp is it happens even in warm weather, as the engine itself ramps up to 120 degrees or so (there is a specific cutoff temperature for the VTCS system, I just can't remember what it is). I read the codes (P0171 and P0660), looked them up and thought I had some type of electrical/sensor problem (although I should say I have pretty limited knowledge about cars). i.1999 Mazda Protege.The 2003 Mazda Protege has 3 NHTSA. But I also have code P2009 VTCS (intake manifold) which would be 2 listed on picture above. I had it inspected last month and it passed, the next day my engine light came on. You could have open or short circuit in VTCS solenoid or wiring, or at the engine Control Module. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I just got the same code so I will be buying the same (3 Solenoid) as listed above. Don't know if this is what you experience - but almost all cars will sound a little different before warming up completely, even at idle. 2002 Mazda Protege5 engine light came on. I don't hear much out of the ordinary if the car is just idling - maybe a little "diesel" sound, but it really comes alive if you drive away like that - as the engine revs up, there is definitely a pronounced rattle or growling from the engine. However, I think there is a real good possibility that if you find the problem with one of these circuits, the problem with the others will be close by.The cold rattle is more pronounced if you drive the car before it reaches full operating temperature. One may have a bad solenoid, while another has a loose connector pin, while the third one may have a broken wire. Other than this, the only thing I can tell you to do is to diagnose each circuit individually. If you do not see any obviously damaged wiring harnesses, I would be taking connectors loose and examining the pins inside them. It is possible that moisture and corrosion in a connector is shorting all of these circuits out. These wires all go through the same connectors, including the PCM connectors. They like to crawl up into warm engine compartmens and chew on things like wiring harnesses and vacuum hoses.Īnother common denominator would be harness connectors. It is that time of year for lots of rodent damage. However, if these all showed up at the same time, I would be taking a hard look at the engine control wiring harnesses. Technically, you have three separate circuit failures no matter how it came about. If your check engine light has been on for quite a while, it is possible that each of these failures occured at separate times and you simply did not know about the second and third failures because the check engine light was already on due to the first failure. The search came up negative - no known issues for ANY of these codes. My 2003 Mazda Protege5 2.0L is having a high idle and surging problem. I did do a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) search for your vehicle to see if there were any known problems that regularly cause these codes or if there are any computer programming issues that can cause these. rough idle when in gear but idles fine in park or neutral. The failure of one of these circuits SHOULD have no effect on the other two. The circuits to each of these solenoids are SEPARATE circuits. My Code Reader shows P2009 Intake Manifold Runner Control Circuit Low (Bank 1). Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0660 has a generic description of "Variable Inertia Charging System (VICS) Solenoid Valve Circuit Malfunction"ĭiagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1569 has a generic description of "Variable Tumble Control System (VCTS) Solenoid Valve Circuit, Low Input"ĭiagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1250 has a generic description of "Pressure Regulator Control (PRC) Solenoid Valve Malfunction"
