cat is probably gone if it is the stock one, but i also know the mass air flow sensor could be the problem, and its also the cheaper of the two things you could do (MAS or pre-cat). you can try cleaning it with the spray stuff they sell at any local auto store. readings online say this car running rich will kill the catalizer in two weeks so you might want to keep that in mind.

What is the meaning of trouble codes 12,13 and 18 on my 2002 mazda 323 protege 1.6L ZM engine. I got these codes using a jump wire and LED light on diagnostic connector.

i dont know what codes you managed to trip but those are not proper diagnostic codes. OBDII codes will start with a letter and have four numbers (P0304, for example). these codes can be retrieved with a code reader or a scan tool.

I have a 98 Mazda protege Lx that will not start. I purchased a new radiator and thermostat. Coolant and radiator completely flushed. Car check engine light started flashing two days later.

Readout all stored codes with an ODB-II reader.
Aside from that, there is no magic "fix" button, so you will have to perform standard diagnostics on the fuel and ignition systems to determine the source of the problem.

I have a 2002 mazda protege lx giving a P0300 code. scanner also says fuel system OL-fault, what do I need to look at?

Code 300 is for a random miss or loss of power which is tough to diagnose. Since you have replaced ignition parts, it could be an injector or fuel problem. Or a vac leak. Or a cam sensor, but usually a code would be set for the sensor too.

My 2002 mazda protege lx refuses to start. The battery is fine, but the engine/stater makes no sound or attempt to start. What is the problem?Could it be a relay,the starter?

If your battery is known to be fine then you probably have a bad starter. You can pull it and take it to autozone and they will test it for free before you buy a new one.

Code po705 mazda protege lx shaking rough start

The Code you refer to is P0705 Transmission Range Sensor Circuit malfunction (PRNDL Input). It is a possiblility that because this code is present, this sensor is malfunctioning. If it is malfunctioning, that means the engine needs to "guess" the value that this sensor is responsible for. In most cases when this happens, the engine will go for a value that ensures the car runs. The engine will not try to run smooth or efficently, it will only try to run. It is my guess that if you have the sensor checked and replaced, the problem might be fixed. Please let me know if this answers your question and please rate my response. Thank you
