Hi every one, Pls I want to know if there is any relationship between excessive fuel consumption and leaking exhaust pipe. Thanks. ... [Non-text portions of...
The answer is yes.. but only to a slight degree.. not enough to cause concern.. If you have bad mileage, it's probably something else.. start by pulling the...
If you can get an O2 sensor for £15, then you might as well.. The mixture is a bit rich.. (CO) this could indicate a problem with the cat.. the HC's although...
john got a new cat fitted a few weeks ago and it made little difference. it was the correct one for the 2.5i, the car seems to run very well and it never cuts...
Definately time to pull the codes Kev.. jump TEN and GND with a wire or paperclip.. connect a 12V LED or small buzzer to +30 and FEN... turn on the ignition,...

Hi Guys. The cruse control on my 1995 626 has stopped working. No info light comes on in the instrument panel when I press the button. Any ideas ????? Paul B...
Start by checking the fuses Paul, it's usually very reliable... Further to that, you can retrieve fault codes, and it also has a self- diagnostic mode.. Give...
... The gasket is about £35 +VAT for the 2.0 16v. Mine's OK so I didn't replace it when I did my cam belt but I reckon if mine was leaking I'd whip it off,...
I brought my 87 Mazda 626 (which won't start) to shop and was told it needs new distributor. They quoted me $450. Could this be right??? I looked it up and...
A new distributor from the dealers will more than likely be that price.. it is expensive.. You can buy reconditioned ones with warranty for much less. John...
Hi John The aircon on my car ('97 626 2.0l) works ok when the car is being driven (altho its getting a regas tomorrow cause its not very cold anymore), but...
Hi Gary, The idle is controlled by the ECU, (using the IAC valve) If you turn the steering when idling, the revs should go up slightly, so that's something you...
Thanks John I'll ask them to check it then, hopefully its something small. There is no problem with the idle as long as the aircon isn't on - I haven't...

Hi Kev, Yes, on the V6 there are 2 sensors, one in each downpipe.. and on the J-Spec (import) there is 3, an extra one just before the cat.. Pulling the codes...
Well the car needed 300g of Freon apparently, and now the aircon works a lot better. I only drove it a short distance yesterday, but oddly the problem of the...
Hi Gary, Other people have mentioned about low gas causing the A/C to tow a bit, so maybe it's possible.. As for the plat plugs... they should be pre-gapped...
Hi all, I'm really pleased to find this Club, as resources for the 626 are really lacking on the internet! I've just bought a July 2002 ('02 plate) black Mazda...
Thanks John I drove the car yesterday and the idle problem with the aircon is gone! Must have been the gas. And as for the plat plugs, I checked out the NGK...
Hi Al, and welcome to the club.. Glad to hear you sorted out the insurance... can be a bit of a minefield sometimes.. As for the airbox, a new one will be a...
Thanks John. Aaaaargh! £220+ for a plastic box? Outrageous, and it confirms what I have heard about how expensive Mazda parts are. I guess you must have...
Hi Al, I doubt there is anything in the files area regarding the CAI, but yes, it's just a pipe with a K&N type filter on the end.. usually polished...
