I'm not sure if it's relevant but I just had my 1991 626 LX brought into the shop to have the ignition cylinder/keys replaced and the air flow valve because the other one had a leak. That said, here's the problem. My fiancee was going to leave for work today and noticed the shoulder restraint motor was moving slowly. She tried starting the car but it wouldn't work. She only got minor accessories - the car would crank but not start. We figured the battery must've gotten drained because the accessories could've been left on over night (our car somehow allows this). So I came home to give the car a jumpstart and off to work she went. She called me and said that the car wouldn't start again, so the alternator must not have had a chance to do its job, even though she let it idle for a half hour in addition to the five minute drive to her job. I came over to her place of work to give her another jumpstart and so we went home, with me following in case she got stranded. Sure enough, one block from our house, the car died at a stop light. I came around and tried to give her a jumpstart again but this time the car wouldn't start. It would crank but not turn, as if my car's battery weren't connected. We brought the battery to Wal-Mart to have it tested and charged. They gave it a clean bill of health and said it was charged, ready to go. After putting the battery back in the car, it wouldn't even crank. Dead as a doornail. This is extremely frustrating, especially after spending over $500 on the above repairs. Does any one have any idea what could be the cause or solution to this problem? Thanks so much!

I have a 1998 Mazda 626 ES-V6. It has 174,000miles on it. I have had this problem with the transmission for a month now. It shifts into 2nd but with hesitation. It does not go past second. I had a reconditioned box put in it, still the same story. I was told it is an electrical problem with some sensor, solenoid, or relay. Where are these part located in the car. Has any one out there experienced anything like this please. Will appreciate if you can share the solution with me.... |

I replaced my radiator some time last year. I don't remember were I got it from and don't have the receipt, but I'm sure I bought the cheapest one I could find. Now the radiator is leaking antifreeze under the transmission tube fitting. I don't want to make the same mistake twice. Can anyone recommend a good radiator or tell me what I should look for when shopping for a replacement radiator. Thanks in advance, Perry

When my car is cold it makes a very high pitch screeching noise at the time of starting. I have Mazda 99 LX 4 cyl. When I use a spray on the belt before starting, this noise goes away and then next day it comes back again. This is going on for more then 2 years now. Is there a way to stop this noise. Any idea of what things it will involve during repair.

My '98 Mazda 626 ES-V6 had resent problems with the transmission. I took it in for a diagnostic and the codes pulled out (P0710, P0711, P1474, P1479). All this relate to a faulty PCM. How and where can I order for a PCM? What info is required for PCM ordering? Please assist!!! Thanks you all.... |

I have a 1998 Mazda 626 with a little over 91000 miles ...and it has weird electronic issues...if I role up the windows it shakes....sometimes when I turn on the AC it shakes .... ....Every time I take it to the shop it it rarely acts up or they say they don't know what it is. Has anyone experienced this? One last thing....I have noticed that after a long road trip my engine light will flash when I accelerate .....is this a sign of transmission issues to come? |
