#2441 of 2476 Re: Mazda 626 with "fried motor" [Mr_Shiftright] by okieopie Oct 29, 2008 (9:12 am)
Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 29, 2008 8:56 am) Thanks for confirming my suspicions. To answer a couple of your questions...   There was no loss of oil in the parking lot during the night. The car showed symptoms immediately upon starting (the flashing check engine light, loss of power).   I'll check with him what he means when he says the plugs were "fouled" -- He showed me one of the plugs and it did look black and burned. From what he was saying to me, it seemed that he was meaning that it was fouled with gas that wasn't burning off.   As far as the other questions, I'll ask him about those magical glasses   Thanks for your help...
#2442 of 2476 Re: Need to find thermostat on 2002 V6 HELP!!! [caseysdubs1] by gyates Dec 18, 2008 (2:22 pm)
Replying to: caseysdubs1 (Oct 23, 2008 12:10 pm) I can help you some. My daughter has a '99 V6 that I just had the thermostat replaced in. It is located below the air intake box (where the air filter is). I understand they had to remove the box, remove the coil pack to get to it because it is on a lower hose.   I would also suggest you check the coolant reservoir bottle closely. Hers developed a leak (very common, it is plastic). I had to go to Mazda and buy a replacement. Very easy to replace though. The reservoir tank should be full to the "max" line.

Replying to: askperry (Sep 11, 2008 8:21 am) Follow-up. Apparently the idle issue was something electronic, though I do not know what. I had to pull the battery cable for something else, and after doing this, the idle is now perfect and has been for the past 3 months. So, I have no clue what the issue was, but it is now resolved.
#2444 of 2476 Car wobbles, burning smell, engine light by jaganrvce Dec 25, 2008 (10:45 am)
My car Mazda 1997 626 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 73000 miles was working great until all hell broke lose. Suddenly the car started shaking noticeably with a strong rubber burning smell. The car would still drive but the engine would make strange noise but would not turn off. The shaking reduces visibly if put in neutral gear. The heating does not show any heating etc. Also, the engine light has started to blink. What could be the problem here? Is it a transmission problem?

Replying to: jaganrvce (Dec 25, 2008 10:45 am) Your description of the symptoms is hard to comprehend, A rubber burning smell might be a tire rubbing on something, or a belt or hose slipping or melting. Shaking stopping when put in neutral might be a lot of different things rangeing from an engine not running right, to a bad motor or transmission mount, to a transmission problem or axle problem, maybe a bad ball joint also. You could go to an Autozone or Advanceautoparts store, and they will loan you for free, a code scanner that will plug into your dashboard, and give you a readout from the car's computer as to why the check engine light is on.

Replying to: jaganrvce (Dec 25, 2008 10:45 am) This is totally a guess on my part, but the no heat, burning rubber smell, and rough running sounds like it could be a water pump seizing. My daughter's boyfriend has an Xterra and it had very similar symptoms when the water pump was going out a couple of weeks ago.   Also, have you changed the timing belt yet? I know the V6 is good for 105k, not sure about the 4 cylinder belt, but it may only be 60k.
#2447 of 2476 Idle Air Control Motor /transmission by eve1969 Jan 13, 2009 (11:02 am)
I Just bought a 1997 Mazda 626 and I'm having some problems with the car. at first it started to stall on me. and it seamed it was loosing power and the gears would not shift. I took it to the mechanic and he did the Diagnostic and found a bunch of codes which he said they were all related to the same part. so he replaced the EGR valve cylinoid and Solenoid Valve. I thought that was going to fix my problem but no It was still doing the same thing. I took it back and they said they need to replace the Air Inlet Boot and do the Transmission Fluid. But that it still needed the Idle control Valve. It's running a little better but is not 100 percent. I did another Diagnostic and it came up with 6 codes need help. the codes are P0171- P0300-P1131-P1130-P1506 and P1744. Please help any suggestions.

whatever happened with your 626, was the engine fried? yesterday i was driving my 99 626 with 200,000 on it and on entering the freeway and accelerating to highway speed it suddenly lost power and will hardly go. i checked with just answer and they think it is the catalytic convertor. just curious to your findings, the symptoms are somewhat similar.
