HEllo,
 
I noticed someone had the same problem I'm expereiencing and am wondering if they were successful in getting the matter fixed. I went to Mazda, they charged me $300 to tell me I need a new transmission. THe car drives perfectly fine, and when I put the gear in reverse it kicks like it wants to move, but the sits there.

I dont own a timing gun but i know a few folks that do.
the last time i changed my plugs and wires was probably january or feb 07.. not too long ago.. my car wouldnt start and it had just snowed so it sat for a couple days and the i bought both and some mechanic changed it for me. And i change my oil every 3 thou miles but i think ima hav to start changing sooner and more often.
ima try what you said tho..
thanks for the info

99 626 ES Running Hot by gyates

My daughter has a 99 626ES V6 with 111k miles. When stopped at a red light, the temperature gauge climbs rapidly to the top of the range, but not high enough to max out the gauge or cause any idiot lights to come on. As soon as we take off driving again, it drops back into the normal range fairly quickly as well. Car is up to date on mainenance, including recent replacement of all belts about 3 months ago. And, the electric fans are both operating. Could the car be needing a radiator flush and fill and a new thermostat?

My guess is you have a bad water pump....better get it checked out asap.

Just as a general rule, your symptoms are signs of a cooling fan/shroud problem.
 
"Serious overheating in heavy traffic but not in open driving is an indication to investigate the fan, fan clutch or motor or relay, or shroud. Some cars have two fans, and both should be on if the engine is hot."

A follow-up to my earlier post. I have discovered that the coolant reservoir tank has developed a small leak. Since the tank was actually dry earlier (hard to tell with the tank being white instead of a clear plastic), I was not able to see a leak, but after filling the tank back up, it is definitely leaking. I believe this is a common problem on the 626. Thanks for the input I did receive.

Re: 97 626 4cyl wont crank, no power when ignition on by jaque4u

I've searched as many posts as I could tolerate and didn't see these symptoms. Interior power works until ignition turned on, then no power and no crank from motor. Don't really hear any clicking from starter area, but some noise from whatever relay is on engine side firewall in front of driver. Months ago had problem with it cranking but not starting when raining. Replaced dist. cap, no fix. Thoughts were bad ignition coil, but problem went away when I sprayed some silicone on the coil. Tested resistance to 0.8 between green and brown terminals, and 8400K between neg. and pos. Could bad coil also cause a no crank condition? It's kinda hard to weasel to starter and test for power, but I suppose that should be my first step. Need an extra body and contortable limbs for that though. Twice when I removed battery cables and re-attached, it started. Eventually went to no crank again after several starts.

have you figured out what the problem was? I'm trying to help out a neighbor with the same problem with a 94 mazda mx-6 with 160K miles, manual trans. He ask me to help him replace a bad water pump & we decided to replace the timing belt also. all the marks lined up so the car started right up but the car ran for 10 minutes then shut off....NO CRANK,replaced starter,distributor, cap, rotor, plugs, wires, fuel filter, fuel pump.....still, NO CRANK!!!!! the car has power up to the second click, then when you actually try and twist the key to start. CLICK.....everything shuts OFF!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!
