Whats the history on the fuel filter?

 

Am not sure i just brought this car 3 months ago, does the 2000 1.6l protege have a fuel filter though? I heard they don't if they do have one do you know where it is?

 

Never seen a car that didn't have a fuel filter, google it.

 

Guys i was wondering can a leaky valve cover gasket cause this rough idle problem? Also could a air filter box thats not sealed properly due to a broken clip cause a rough idle?

My car is experience both of these problems since i got the car.

 

niether one. If you have an intake leak downstream of the sensor, then it could cause a fuel/air ratio problem.

 

Until you replace the fuel filter, I cannot help you.

 

A leaky valve cover gasket could cause misfiring when there is oil in the spark plug wells.

 

Hey kevin my protege doesnt have.a servicable fuel filter confirmed by google search

 

Sigh, 2000 MAZDA PROTEGE Fuel Filter

 

Little insite, serviceable means that, this is replaceable.
