Replying to: gyates (Jul 05, 2007 6:25 am) My guess is you have a bad water pump....better get it checked out asap.

Replying to: gyates (Jul 05, 2007 6:25 am) You might find this helpful:   http://www.troubleshooters.com/toverheat.htm   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."   Visiting Host

Replying to: gyates (Jul 05, 2007 6:25 am) 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.
#2305 of 2475 Re: 97 626 4cyl wont crank, no power when ignition on by jaque4u Jul 06, 2007 (2:22 pm)
Replying to: bnormann (Mar 24, 2000 5:25 pm) 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. Replies to this message: usmczx3 (Jul 21, 2007 11:24 pm)

Replying to: jaque4u (Jul 06, 2007 2:22 pm) 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!!!!!

#2308 of 2475 Mazda trouble with overheating,misfiring,etc. by hmcgowan Aug 10, 2007 (2:11 pm)
A couple months ago, my Mazda 626 2002 began misfiring in random cylinders. New spark plus, wires, coil pack, and everything was put on it. In ran good for about a month and then it started doing the same thing again. We took it to a mechanic who looked at it and said that it was the plugs and wires again. When the plug in the first cylinder was taken out, it was very dark and looked burnt. The other did not. So, we changed the first one and put different wires on once again. It did not fix anything. However all of a sudden, our car started over-heating again. The car began to smoke after just a drive down a 3 mile road. when we looked under the hood, we noticed a hose had a leak in it. There was a small hole and you definitely see antifreeze(i think) leaking out. I do not know the name of this particular hose, but we did put another on it. The car is still overheating nonetheless. We have done the spark plugs and wires...there is plently of coolant in the car. A friend suggested it could be the sensors? I am honestly just fed up with it and just would like some good advise on what I should do. I am planning on taking it to another mechanic and am tempted just to say find out what is wrong and fix it! I hate not knowing a lot about cars, because it seems you can easily be ripped off. help.
#2309 of 2475 Filling tank problem by zillah Aug 18, 2007 (5:34 am)
When I try to put gas in my car, the pumps will never stay on. You have to continuously pump the grip. It's at different intervals when it stops but never seems to get a whole gallon in at a time. I have let the tank run very far down too in case it was bad gas already in the tank but that didn't seem to help.   I've tried three different gas stations, different grades of gas too. At first I thought it was the hot weather expanding the gas but then it has happened each time I've filled the car no matter the weather. One gas attendant said it was because something needed to be cleaned out and it would probably cost $700 in NJ but cheaper in NY.   Not only do I not want to get ripped off, I want to know what the problem is in case it's an easy fix I can do myself.

Replying to: zillah (Aug 18, 2007 5:34 am) I have a similar issue, but not exactly the same, with my '01 626 V6. I can put in all but the last gallon and a half with the nozzle on automatic. But, it shuts off early, and I can put in another 1.5 gallons if I run the nozzle manually. I've gotten used to it, but it is kinda annoying to have to stand there and "top off" the tank with 1.5 gallons. Your problem sounds like it might be related, but is much worse. Replace your gas tank, maybe ??
#2311 of 2475 Re: Persistent Intermittent 626 problem :/ [twitme] by twitme Aug 28, 2007 (7:43 am)
Replying to: twitme (Mar 02, 2006 11:22 am) Just in case anyone else was having this same problem, I found the solution. The fuel pump needed to be replaced. It wasn't a cheap repair, but my mazda is finally running strong. Replies to this message: pat (Aug 29, 2007 9:51 am)
