Mazda 626

When you turn the ignition key does the running light dim a little bit?

A vehicle stalling can be just one problem associated with having too much transmission fluid in the vehicle. Excessive transmission fluid can cause the gears in the transmission to heat up and experience damage as well.

My '96 Mazda 626 broke its harmonic balancer. With it broken, it would start and run fine. I replaced the balancer and belts and tried to start it. After much cranking, it started but died and wouldn't start again. My scanner indicated code P1345 "Manufacturer controlled ignition system or misfire." It also had a code P0302 "Cylinder 2 misfire." That tells us what the code means, but what does it really mean? Where does the problem lie? Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

take it to a muffler shop

I had to replace my lower controll arm on my 2500 all you need is a picklefork and a bfh hammer and or a air hammer it should work well

The thermostat is located on the front left of the motor facing the radiator(Almost directly below the radiator cap). The lower radiator hose is attached to the thermostat housing.

A 2000 Mazda 626 (4 cyl and V6 engines) has a timing belt.

Have you checked the rear bulbs to see if they are out? If not then it is probably not what that means.

is the fuel filter istalled correctly in from fuel line out to engine. PS won't be the first person to install it backwards

this is the 30 amp egi fuse in your fuse box in your engine comp.

in the centre console underneath the stereo

You will have to determine if the fuse, the switch, the wiper motor, the linkage, the pulse board or the wiring/connections is at fault before you can fix it.

The EGR is on the back half of the motor. pull the throttlebody off and you can get to it. There is one electrical connector and 2 fuel lines, also an exhaust line. everything will come off easily, except for the exhaust line. the part will cost between $250 and $500. dont clean it up, just replace it. its a lot of work to do to just find out that its really bad.

i would say 30 - 45 minutes to leave a good amount of time. maybe 1 hr if you have problems

it's your alternator I just had the same problem its going dead causing it to use most of the battery power

Using a jack, keep the engine supported. One at a time, unbolt a motor mount, the engine may have to be raised slightly to remove the mount. Fit the new mount back into the hole and bolt in place.

remove the valve cover, followed by the power steering pump. After that you will have full view of the serpentine belt. ps: all the other belts have to come off before the serpertine belt goes in. It is a 3-4 hour job.

It does not have a governor. there is a governor at least one similar. my speedometer goes up to 130, but at 115 a governor like disabling of power happens. please e mail me at mister_pk@snowboard.com if you have any answers. thanks it most likely is speed limited by the computer, the only way to bypass it is with a custom burned computer or an aftermarket performance chip

I just did it. 5 qts.

On a typical 4-cylinder 626, the starter motor is located on the lower end of the engine, to the right of the transaxle (removal would require raising the vehicle and properly securing it with appropriate jack stands). On a typical v6 626, the starter motor is located beneath the throttle position sensor, knock sensor, distributor, and other electrical connectors that interfere with the proper removal. acc083

Turn the ign. key to the first position, the position before the ign. lites come on. Move the shifter into neutral and then you will be able to start the car and drive it to your local garage to have it fixed.

Its OBD1
