The 2003 Mazda Protege LX does not have an inline fuel filter. Instead, it has a "strainer" or a "screen" that looks like a nylon mesh "sock". This strainer is connected to the fuel pump, which is located in the gas tank. The fuel filter is always found between the fuel tank and the engine, and for most vehicles, it is located inside the top of the fuel tank, right where it connects with the fuel line .
Fuel filter's anymore are located on the fuel pump, INSIDE, the gas tank. You'd have to drop the gas tank to get at it. The first gen MPV had an interior door that let you service the pump if needed. If you suspect debris in the tank one way would be to not fill up with gas then when really low, drain the tank. If you suspect water in the tank just use dry gas additive. Good luck!
follow the line coming from carburetor or from coming the gas tank in the line supply. you will see the filter.. Or see the pump gas and follow the output you will find it. However you must go to www.automecanico. com and translate the website with your browser and see the diagrams, is amazing sites.
This sounds like it needs the plugwires or coilboots replaced, the ignition system has sparkplug wires or it has coilpacks on each cylinder, it sounds like they or misfirimg, you can have the computer scanned for codes to find out what cylinder is misfiring, many autopart stores will scan the computer for free,
A 2001
Mazda
Protege
(actually, all models from 1999-2003 including the DX, LX, ES, Mazdaspeed, and Protege 5)
does not have an inline fuel filter. The only fuel filter it has is a "strainer"
or a "screen", which looks like a nylon mesh "sock". This strainer is
connected to the fuel pump, located in the gas tank. Although this fuel
strainer does not require periodic replacement, it is recommended that
it be changed if you are replacing the fuel pump.
well it started first time ,then stopped so the fault lies with the fuel pump ,is the multiplug connection secure ,is the earth ok ,could it be a faulty motor from the scrapyard??
