Hey all!

Like I said, I'm looking at purchasing a new to me (obviously, haha.) '01 MP3. That being said, it's cheap. Way cheap. For a reason. The current owner is claiming that it won't rev above 2k, and that it sputters on the throttle. Personal thoughts? Catalytic converter. I did some searching around the forum before I joined up, in hopes of finding something and not having to bother you guys. However, I'm just hoping someone might have some advice! I don't have much more information than that at the moment, unfortunately.

It's a 2001 Protege MP3, PMY in color, with a 5MT. From my understanding this trim only came with the 2.0.

Thanks ahead of time, if you're game!

 

Hey what's up. I have a mazda mp3 and from what I understand, you have one already?

 

It could be worn spark plugs, dying coils, sad HT leads, massive air leak, blown head gasket, low fuel pressure &/or flow, blocked cat, ignition timing, etc etc.

 

Welcome into the forum. Enjoy your new one.
