626 LX V6 by mlsb

I just bought a used 626 LX with 105,000 miles and it is an automatic. I was wondering if anyone has this problem. It seems like the transmission is not going into overdrive. I go about 65 and the RPM is about 3000, that seems high to me. Also has anyone replaced the instrument planel light? Thanks.

Dear team,
 
kindly advise me on upgrading to which japanese engine for my 1982 626 sedan.
i have SOHC 2.0 litre 80bhp engine in the car and i want to upgrade to almost twice the bhp's.
i want to jump to 2.8 or 3.0 litre, is the chassis that capable of handling such power or not.

I have a 2000 626 lx and yesterday my O/D off light just came on... my car won't go to 4th gear and my O/D button won't come on.. I have just been going around on websites to find out if this is the common problem with these cars and it sounds like it is. I have 101,600 miles on my car and I bought it at 53,000 where I have had to fix many parts of it already... i think it's time for a new car.. what do you think?

hi i have a 97 626 and i also had a valve tap, i bought a service manual for it and it states that this sound is normal and also that it has hydraulic valve lifters so you cannot adjust them. i just let it go and it went away in about a month...

I have a 99 mazda 626 4 cylinder it overheated on the express way and shut off now it wont start. had to have it towed back home, i fixed the leak it had, one of the small radiator hoses behind the exhaust manifold was cracked,I also replaced the spark plugs but still wont start, it cranks but will not start. I charged the battery and still it cranks but will not start. I took off the valve cover just to see the timing belt and it looks good its even tight so Can anyone help me with this problem?

What do you know about replacing engines? The engine in your car is bulit mostly of Aluminum. It hates HEAT.

Octane. Valve chatter is burning fuel trying to to provide power. Boost your Octane. The valves have shims that could be worn. Checking this tolerance for worn shims is a royal pain. Good Luck.
