1998 Protege DX will not accelerate - Help
Hoping I can find some help here, and some direction as to where to start troubleshooting.
A couple of days ago, I drove the car to work, and it ran fine, but after leaving work, it would start and idle easily, but will sputter and refuse to accelerate. I limped the car home at about 20mph, which was as fast as it would go. This car only has 44,000 miles on it, and I am the original owner, and have always performed all maintenance on shedule. I have a code scanner, and the check engine light was on. I got the following codes: P1195 (this has been appearing off and on since the car was new, whenever it is cold/damp out, but it always ran fine, dealer was never able, or willing to fix it.) P0446 P1790 P1450 P0340 P1455 P0750 P0731 P0732 P0550 P0300 P0303 P0305 P0755 P0760 P0705 I have never seen anything like this before. Many of the codes refer to misfires, which makes sense as it was sputtering constantly. Some also refer to the transmission, which seems to work fine. The car sputters and misfires whether it is in gear of not. It seemed like it was not getting fuel, so I replaced the fuel filter, and also the plugs, wires, and air filter. Also added dry gas. Nothing changed. When I got home from work today, the car started and reved just fine, so I wrote all the codes down, and cleared them, I took it for a drive, and less than 2 miles later, it started sputtering again, the check engine light came on. The only code I am getting now, is the P1195. I have no idea where to begin, and any help would be appreciated. Thanks |
Should also mention that I also replaced the gas caps. This was Autozone's suggestion, also no change.

clear the codes and run it again and see what it pulls....that's the full history of any codes the car ever threw most likely
|
I did that. The only code coming up is the P1195.
Any idea how to access the fuel pump on the protege? I know it is in the tank, but I don't see an access panel anywhere. Thanks. |

Thanks, found it last night. Fuel pump is fine.
I have no idea what to try next. I limped the car around for 10 miles last night, but it hasn't given me any more codes. Thinking of relpacing the distributer cap and rotor, but I doubt that is it. |
