2000 mazda protege check engine light is on and car is very sluggish when shifting with a jerking motion especially in 1st and 2nd gears.
Judging from what i know, the timing on the engine is probably a bit off, and i remember reading the exact same problem on another web site and that is also what they said. So just check the timing on the engine or have it checked by a mechanic if you don't know how to do it.

my pump is not pumping
car laggggs very much an di want to fix it
The air duct tube that is atached to where the air filter is- does that tube have any holes or cracks in it?
could be alot of things, could be fuel pump, could be injectors, could be plugs, coils, sensors... too many things that can cause this without further testing. Best bet to begin with would be to get check engine code out to see if it's related or not, and get us on the right track. If you do not have a scanner for the codes, u can buy one off ebay or any local parts store, and if you don't want to buy one, most garages will get the codes out for you for a certain price.
oh and yes IAFixItGirl has a good point, was forgetting about this but yes those mazdas had problems with the rubber from the intake tube and used to split open or disintegrate partially. Had to fix this on a friend's mazda cause the tube had a hole in the bottom and was not easily visible. So if in doubt, take the whole tube off to inspect, usually only 2 fasteners holding it there, and maybe a hose/wire or 2 to disconnect.
I have replaced the throttle position sensor, fuel filter, and air filter. I am still having the same problems. The fuel injectors have been checked and are fine the fuel pump is fine and the distributor is fine.
was working one day went out the next
