Replying to: ghostface (Aug 18, 2008 8:32 am) Well, if your power steering is leaking, and it's not a small leak that you can just keep filling up before it runs out. Then, I would suggest that you do not drive it at all. The leak came from a bump you stated, maybe a power steering hose got busted, or loose. It could also be the rack and pinion unit got damaged from a big bump too. If you have to keep useing the car, and you can't afford to fix it, then you might be able to remove the power steering belt(only if it's a seperate belt and doesn't power other important parts to) so that the pump won't be running dry, but I'm not sure if that's safe or not, so you might want to get advice from someone else about that.

Just started having problems . Put the car in Drive from a standing stop when I hit the gas, the engine revs but is very slow to take off,almost like its in neutral. It does take off, a bit sluggish . At higher speeds, it seems fine. Can anyone help.

Replying to: zoomnomore (Aug 04, 2008 6:49 pm) I have 2000 626 and this just started on my car. This what I have been told to check, first is to change out the spark plugs. then also change/flush tramsmission fluid and last to make sire that your belt is tightly secured and not loose. The last thing to check is the pully's. Hope this helps Replies to this message: kellij2 (Oct 18, 2008 12:41 pm)

Replying to: gracefully (Aug 02, 2008 10:45 am) The hood rests on rubber pads that can be adjusted by turning them. If the pads are not making contact with the hood, it will vibrate. The stick (for lack of a better term) that holds up the hood gets loose with age. You can wrap duck tape around the area that rests on the frame.   Good luck.
#2423 of 2476 Charge & Rear lights come on when I turn the wheel by askperry Sep 11, 2008 (8:18 am)
I have a 1990 Mazda 626 (still). Whenever I turn on the A/C or turn the steering wheel,   1. the "charge" light and "rear" light come on. 2. Power steering is lost.   After I cleaned the battery terminal, this problem only exist when I turn the steering wheel.   I get 12V when the engine is off and 13.3V when the engine is on. I've taken the battery and alternator out of the car and had them tested at AutoZone. They are both good.   Thanks in advance.

Replying to: gyates (Jul 10, 2008 10:45 am) direct a brief spray of carb cleaner around different locations where vacuum hoses attach, around the throttle body and around the manifold. If the is a leak, the engine will surge.   Good luck. Replies to this message: gyates (Dec 18, 2008 2:26 pm)

Replying to: kellij2 (Jul 28, 2008 8:14 am) Reset your computer: pull off the negative battery cable. Press the brakes for ~5 seconds.
