Hi...I'm new to the site...My GF has a 2000 Protege ES.
Her check engine light was on a few months back and we had it read...came up with 3 codes, 1 small exhaust leak, 1 larger leak, and a 3rd code that i cant remember...
her large leak was cause her airbox had a broken clip, i fixed it and we had the light reset...
it came back on a day later...we just had it read and the mechanic said it was Code P1114 or P114...Warm Up Improper? he advised that she let the engine run 5-10 minutes each time before driving...
today, she was in a rush and only let it run for about 1-2 minutes...outside temp was about 70+, car had just made a 20 mile commute with no light...she got out of class and left, thats when it came back on...
Mechanic thinks it has something to do with the Remote Starter that i put in her car, but I HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt it as I have installed these things to many cars and have not had any issues...
any suggestions from the experts here???
thanks...
Mario
