if the water pump is broke, you wont be driving for very long. probably about 15 miles, depending on how warm it is. then the engine will lock up forever. if the thermostat is broke, and it is closed, then the coolant wont circulate, and it will go a bit farther before it locks up. if the stat is broke open, then it will run, but it will run rich for a long time.

Do you have to program the key for a 2000 Mazda?

It depends on what model of Mazda you have. My 2000 Mazda millenia doesn't. It does have reverse teeth though. I would have to go to a dealer to get another one made for it.


Are front and rear struts for a 1997or any year Mazda 626 compatible with a 1997 Mazda Millenia?

I checked my info and I would say they are different. Gabriel does not show anything for the Millenia, so I would say that the Millenia most have something exotic. Dealer only is my bet. email me at matts911.rr.com if u need more help. Matt

Did the Mazda6 replace the Millenia?

The Mazda6 was introduced for the 2003 model year to replace the Mazda 626. The Mazda6 was designed to be a more sophisticated and upscale car than the 626 because it would be the company's "flagship" or top model since the Millenia was also discontinued at the same time. But there wasn't a direct replacement for the Millenia. The Millenia was introduced as a 1995 model and replaced the Mazda 929. Mazda was planning their own luxury/performance line (called "Amati") to compete with Acura, Lexus and the other premium brands. The Millenia was intended to be the first of three planned Amati models, but the plan was dropped due to cost issues before it got any further than the Millenia. The Millenia sold in much lower numbers than originally planned. A $35k luxury sedan with a Mazda badge was a tough sell against Acura, Lexus and Infiniti models for the same price.

Why would a 1995 Mazda Millenia stutter out and turn over but not start?

I had the same problem. Your starter is probably going out. You can actually lightly tap the starter with a hammer and that gets it going.


Where can you buy a keyless entry remote for a 1999 Mazda Millenia S?

If you decide to stay stock the dealer or Ebay would be your choices. Otherwise any aftermarket alarm will do, but beware it is very involved - not worth the effort. Millenia's are not common cars and it is very difficult to do some modifications.
