AW 2002: Mazda Protege 5 Review
The curves and the aesthetics of the Sonata and Elantra sedans are stunning, and that language isn't quite here. NEWS EDITOR GREG MIGLIORE: This Touring edition of the Elantra just doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the stylish Hyundai lineup. Still, it was enough to get the Elantra Touring moving at a respectable pace. Of course, that's because this Touring is based off the previous-generation Elantra. The manual allows the driver to wring the most out of this car, which, at 138 hp, isn't much. The five-speed manual is kind of fun in a joystick sort of manner.
Q:
A: Could be a bunch of things. I don't have my manual handy. I have 30K on mine...all good so far. I own a 2003...but it's pouring rain out there. I believe you are due for a valve adjustment. A timing belt? water/ pump change is also really close...if not overdue. Spark plug change is recommended at every 30,000 miles. Hey...maybe that's it,and you'll get lucky! Watch that timing belt thing though...cause you'll be walking for sure. It might not sound right, but I guarantee that you want to get your water pump changed-out when you do the timing belt.It's cheaper in the long run.Thank me later.

A: Im not too sure but it could have to do with your fuel injectors. I had the same problem with my 2008 ford f-250. Not even sure if they could be linked, but its something to look into (answered by Cory T on August 29, 2008)Q:
A: Youre ok in the position prior to starting.
If the lights are on while the car is running I would get it checked out.
So, if the lights turn off when you start the car...youre fine. (answered by Nate on March 15, 2007)
Q:
A: You shouldn't wait 6 years to get a tune up. Have the car tuned up, or at least put in new spark plugs. You can have it OBD2 checked to see if there are any trouble codes telling of bad parts or conditions. (answered by don r on February 10, 6806)
