It is a 1994 Mazda Protege. I LOVE that little car. I get about 30 MPG |
| 11 |
and it runs good. I changed plugs in it one time a while back and when |
| 12 |
looked into the hole, I saw something shiney. I thought I had dropped |
| 13 |
something in there somehow. Naturally I wanted to get that out. It is |
| 14 |
a DOHC engine so it has that long tube to where the plug goes. After |
| 15 |
some checking, it was the top of the piston I was seeing. I run Marvel |
| 16 |
Mystery Oil in the gas and it is so clean in there, it looked shiney. |

It may have almost 200,000 miles on it but I would rather have it than a |
| 19 |
brand new car. I'm thinking about getting a distributor made by a 3rd |
| 20 |
party. Maybe they will have a better sensor than the one Mazda makes. |

I just don't want to have to change anything else so finding a drop in |
| 22 |
replacement should be fun. Affording it should be fun to. Cheap they |
| 23 |
ain't. :/ |
