Mazda 626

Check the timing belt Answer - My 99 Protege was leaking out coolant slowly out of the water pump. A seal on it had gone bad and the pump needed to be replaced. Haven't had a leak or an overheat since new pmp was installed.

The 1993 Mazda. reverse light switch is located below the shifter column. The relay switch can be seen by removing the center console.

Our 1994 Mazda 626 5-spd 2L is now 18 yrs old and has delivered 317,000 miles. I continue to drive it every day. Some features:

purchased new in April, 1994

original engine

original trans incl orig manual clutch

original AC & cruise control

original upholstery

Performance probably has to do with driving, freq oil changes every 3-4K, and manufacturing. Some have suggested it may have been one of the earlier models on the assembly line when tolerances were tighter.

It's burning oil. Usually worn rings, oil sludge or carbon in the ring grooves or worn valve guides. The above answer is correct. However, excessive white smoke would indicate large amounts of water vapor in the exhaust possibly caused by a blown head gasket or cracked block. Check your oil to see if there is water in it. If there is, it will look milky on the dipstick. Another possibility My car had this same problem;and it was caused by a small black valve to the top of the engine that was cracked. Which caused the engine to suck air in. The air when mixed with heated oil you get "poof" white smoke.

Answer: If you mean your radiator cooling fan, it most likely is a grounded or shorted circuit from the "cooling fan sensor" (internal) or a pinched wire. Depends on when it happened: was there any work done prior to this happening? IF not, then the sensor is most likely the issue. In this case, once you find it (normally the sensor is screwed into the bottom of the radiator), unplug one of the wires (or remove the connector) and see if the cooling fan continues to run, if the fan turns off, then replace the sensor.

is the engine oil low? maybe its flowing to the back of the sump and away from the pick up when you go up the steep hill.

Trouble code P0401 means:Exhaust gas recirculation flow insufficient detected

I have a 1997 Mazda millenia with the dist of a 626 the order is 1-2-3-5-4-6, counter clockwise. This should be the same for yours.

1-2-3-4-5-6

I would make sure power is getting to the fuel injector use a noid light to test it. You may also want to check the fuel pressure also the intake manifold may have a leak that can cause a misfire as well. Glad your compression is good. That is a sure sign its something simple.

Go to the Mazda dealer and provide them with the VIN number and they should be able to get a key for you.

Driver side - 20 inches.

Passenger side - 19 inches.

Trouble code P1521 means: Variable Resonance Induction System Solenoid #1 Circuit Hope this points you in the right direction

bad rings most likely burnt valves i would also suspect a blown head gasket between those 2 cylinders

Odds are it's probably not just your Mazda. Most vehicles do that when the rotor is shot or warp\ped. The rotor is the big disc (or cd) that the disc brakes apply pressure to when you push your breaks. When the surface is warped or shot, the surface is no longer smooth, causing what can be a shimmy shake. You can tell by taking off your tire, and by rubbing your finger up and down the rotor. If you feel a lip or rough edge from the edge towards the inside, then it's the rotor. They are generally about $20-$30 to replace. Otherwise it could be that one or both of the wheel bearings are shot.

First and foremost, make sure you have a diagram before removing the old belt. If there isn

No

yes it is possible but you need a special Torx socket to remove the 2 safety screws holding it on. Be very carefull not to scrape any sealing surfaces on the piston and if using carb cleaner, keep it off the plactic and electrical parts.

I recommend, using either electrical cleaner, or brake cleaner as these dry and leave no residue. Be very careful taking it out of the throttle body, as to not lose the springs. Also, note the order it comes apart for reinstallation. spring, shaft and plunger, spring. Spray with cleaner, wipe clean. DO NOT spray into the throttle body. When reinstalling, be very careful not to lose the O ring on the throttle body. Tighten down. Also, if you lose the safety screws, don't fret. use the same size machine screws or bolts from any hardware store. Above all, take your time, and be careful: this part costs $400 and up.

The p0320m is a crankshaft position malfunction. The sensor could be bad, it could be a wiring issue, or a distributor problem.

Firstly pop the bonnet and remove the cap from the break fluid reservoir, now crack the nuts on the two front wheels. Jack the car up take the wheel nuts off and remove the wheel, the caliper holding the pads around the disc will usually have two bolts going from one side to the other remove the bolts and pry the entire caliper away from the disc. remove the old pads and push the piston on the break caliper back in with either a G-clamp or a big pair of grips. place the new pads in the caliper slot it over the disc line up the bolt holes and but the bolts back threw tighten them up and then replace the wheel tighten up the bolts diagonally from each over to make sure the wheel goes on straight. once you have done this to both sides replace the cap on the break fluid reservoir make sure there is no spilled break fluid as it strips paint if there is pour water onto it. there is no need to bleed the breaks unless the fluid has been in there for years as over time break fluid absorbs water which compresses so you have to push the pedal harder for less breaking power.

I found this online... it's worked on both 626 and Mazda 6. Worth a try.

Step one:- press one at a time - preset 6, AM, Auto M, Seek ^ (up).

Step Two:- Input this number, 4989.

Step Three:- Press and hold Auto M and Preset 6 together.

Step Four:- The Word ''GOOD'' will appear on the screen indicated that the radio will work.

Step Five:- Reprogram new Anti theft code into radio as per instruction manual.

DA Form 626, also known as the "Vehicle Inspection Guide," is used by the U.S. Army to document the inspection of vehicles and equipment. This form ensures that vehicles are safe and operational before they are utilized for military operations. It includes sections for recording deficiencies, required repairs, and the overall condition of the vehicle. Proper completion of this form is essential for maintaining operational readiness and safety standards in the Army.

WE finally found it on the compresson housing near the "S" suction , large hose connection.

Try opening your trunk with key.
