Depends what year if has diagnostic or not always check wires seat belt and clickers first clean connected under seat

Valves don't have a 'body' Misti. Do you mean the Camshaft Caps?

Because of the battery light coming on, it sounds like you have a problem on the computer communications network. You need an auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer to diagnose. It is very unlikely you need a new transmission. https://www.google.com/search?q=2000+Mazda+Protege+won%27t+shift+from+3rd+to+4th ..

maybe the fuel isn't going to the injectors. you have to do the bleeding. check the spark plugs.

pump only runs cranked or engine running. (NORMAL) key on it can run pump for 1 seconds, this is called prime no single tech can run that fast to the pump. so key on 5 times to purge the air in the lines. so is spark good?, it must be good if the PC sees (detects) spark bad, it cuts feeling 100% dead, so car does not catch fire, by law. same as key on, pump is not on , key on after the prime pulse. 302 is cylinder misfire, reset it and it is gone. always check spark first. not fuel , fuel is last of the big 3.

• engine good
• spark good
• and if spark is good ,fuel tests is now allowed.

my guess is 1.6 L ZM-DE. this engine? aka Z6 16valves, DOHC. belt drive, gen 9 car. so 22 years old and running the cam belt way past 100kmeters odometer, wash wear repeats ever 100km for got that rule? if yes the belt slips and the CMP and CKP sensor fail for sync when SYNC fails inside the PCM it cuts spark and now bends over the head valve.s $$ super expensive fix that./ for $30 belt. so now you know why we check spark on all 4 spark plugs and not just 1 ever. took a bath i fuel ? just for lost spark??? (sad face) gasoline(petrol) cannot burn lacking spark this is no diesel. and injections of fuel on a no spark engine is a huge fire hazard for sure in any kind of crash. OK? that is how it all works pure PCM logic and laws making this happen, just like this. if spark was good and gas tank dry, the engine runs on sprayed test fuel instant start in a can runs for 3 seconds and stop repeat 3 time or more, see the engine sounds good and is. if fails this test, spark is gone or the cam timing why the heck off and is the main cause. Ignoring the belt is #1 cause. on all belt cam engines. vast.

Check or replace the relay for the fuel pump.

Without knowing the make model and year of the vehicle, I can't really help much other than, some of the vehicles out there have a blower motor resistor that is usually located near the blower motor or sometimes near the controls. This would cause the heater to fail in blowing heat into the vehicle. If you can hear the fan blowing and it is able to change speed, the resistor would not be the problem. You can also test and/or replace the heater relay to see if this works for you. Short of those suggestions, you may have a plugged heater core which would require replacement. Seek a professional to do this job for you.

Question edited for clarity, spelling 'Mazda'. Question moved to sub category. You have a transmission issue, nothing to do with the engine running. You need a good mechanic with a scanner computer. https://www.google.com/search?q=1996+Mazda+Protege+service+manual ..

mMijn Mazda tribute van 2008 geeft zonder reden opeens alarmsignalen af.Is hier iets aan te doen?

This engine uses the standard firing order for a cylinder engine. 1, 3, 4, 2, Where number One is the cylinder nearest the belts and pulleys on the engine.

The release on an LX or ES model is at the top of the seat backs, near the door opening, for the rear seats. The rear bench is a 60/40 split on these models. The rear seat does not lay down on the DX models.

A fresh charged battery does not mean it is a good battery.The battery is working the alternator to death,replace it,it has a bad cell,or the amps are to low,and has a short in it.The alternator senses the battery is in bad need off charge,and puts all out until the alternator has nothing left,This is the most likely cause of this problem.Also be sure the battery cable ends are shiny clean when replacing the battery.

Replace the alternator.

Usually it is a good idea to replace any of the belts if you have to take them off to do repairs. Belts aren't usually expensive to buy. A timing belt is a major service item on higher mileage engines, (60,000 to 100,000 miles), so replacing it is always worth doing.

P2009 means the intake manifold runner control circuit has excessively low voltage for bank 1. Inside the Air intake manifold there is a set of butterfly valves that adjust the air flow going into the engine when its running at different speeds. The Manifold Control Runner operates these valves. The ECU, (the cars brain), isn't getting the correct electrical signals from it. The runner control is usually mounted on the intake manifold but where it is will depend on the vehicle manufacturer and the engine you have fitted. Try this youtube video as a starting point. It will give you an idea of where it is and some quick checks you can do to test if it is just sticking in one position. These control units are normally not too expensive to buy if you needed to replace it. https://youtu.be/qfa-8dJPMQA

Have you thrown a code? Are you certain that there isn't a problem with your fuel rail? It is usually location on the fuel rail. Hope that helps.

You have to remove the speedometer cable and fill it thru there
