can a mazda protege be driven with a bad mass air flow sensor?

yes, it can be driven. your check engine light is on....which means the vehicle has identified a problem with the emissions system and has gone into "limp" mode (all pre-set values) and will run and act poorly until repaired and the light re-set...

Get a hold of ZEX on their website, they should have tech articles on there, if not email them with your specific problem.  Also do a forum search for your car, they have a lot of info.

try some octane booster it will clean your fuel injectors and give it some go

Depends on the problem. Check your brake fluid first. If it is low, try adding more and see if that helps the problem. You also might want to try bleeding the brake lines. I have had to do that a few times. Another possibility is the master cylinder could be bad. Or the proportioning valve. Brakes have many parts, and it is hard to tell you exactly what it is.

have to know what kind of engine you have in it? Aparently it's sucking air around the primer pump, the filter or in a fuel-line or somewhere else. Just depending on the engine type...Also maybe the filter isn't tight enough..It's getting air before the pump....may need to bleed the injectors to get the air out..

umm, you wouldn't want to do that b/c obviously your civic is fwd, and there is something called torque steer which would make it not worth it.

take it to a repair shop if you have enough air in it to get there

Maybe you should have the emissions checked.  Drive it to the EPA and have them check it out.

I have been a mechanic for some time and enjoy tuning on my hot rod, when buying things for performance for new cars(fuel injected and computers) be sure to do your research and never buy from someone who doesn't warranty and give support.

check the carb, change spark plug...two strokes load up the spark plug very often, check the air filter...and so on..check simple things first..then if u have to rebuild

It seems highly unlikely that your Honda has that kind of off the line accelleration, I know my 88 Civic, great as she is on the highway, takes 14 seconds to go from 0 to 60 on a good day and mine has no catalytic converter.

if your talking about the butterfly ( the metal plate inside the venturi )then yes everytime you hit the throttle itll move. if your talking about the iac-idle air controler then also yes itll slowly move as the vehicle warms up

Yes but first your engine should be in good running order. If your engine is clogged or just runs like S#@T then it won't help much.

I'm not sure what that 1498 code is exactly, but the coolant temperature sensor might be bad, causing it to run rich and give you bad gas mileage.  Might make the temp gauge read low too.

Well you can do something like a nitrous kit thats quick and easy, very cost effective. You can unlock that much with bolt ons too. Headers, full exhaust, cold air intake, plugs, wires, msd ignition box along with their new cap and rotor. Then get it tuned which is very under rated, you can unlock a lot of power through proper tuning. I dont mean hypercrap or supertrash chips but send you ecu to someone and get it tuned to your individual application and it even costs less to do it that way.

yeah get a new one(and dosent have to be k&n) walmart sells them, and then get the k&n charger kit($9.99) to help keep out the dirt and other small things that can get passed in to your motor without and oil from the charger kit.or get a new cold air intake off ebay for real cheep.
