• AC Problems with 1991 Mazda 626 DX

  Written by: subheavy on Jul 30, 2011 4:03:15 PM

  I have checked the coolant and it is fine. The compressor comes on, but it only blows hot air. Everything works, but it only blows hot air. Can anybody give me a list of any possible solutions to this problem. During the winter months the heater doesn't blow any heat. Once the engine heats up, the vents throw out enough heat to keep you warm.

• Re: Transmission not engaging. [bohook]

  Written by: mposeyms on May 12, 2006 11:36:10 AM

  How did you resolve this problem? Did it turn out to be major transmission trouble or was it an electronic part that engages the transmission that needs to be replaced? I have the same trouble with a 1991 Mazda 626. The shift lever on the automatic transmission is moving, but none of the gears will engage. I would like to find out if anyone else has had this problem.

  The transmission Shift of my 1991 Mazda 626 is stuck on parking. It wont budge. I thought that maybe the lock [hold] was on but it is not. Can't find my car manual to see how I can fix it. Any help?

  Hi, I am curious if anyone has any ideas on what might be wrong with my 1991 Mazda 626 LX (2.2L non turbo) - it has 210,000 KM on it so far. My car surges when idle, the RPM will bounce from 100 to 900. It may go through this cycle up to 10 times, then even out to 750RPM (where it should be). My 626 will also hesitate from a ...

  Written by: mrdetailer on Sep 25, 2001 11:56:43 AM

  If you are thinking about a new model, I would consider these factors. I own a 1991 with a 2.2 liter engine stick, my son owns a 1997 with the 2.0 and an automatic transmission. My wife insisted that I buy his older car when he bought the newer one. Frankly, it has been one of the best decisions we made. We both love our Mazdas. Here is my take. Engine. ... Read More

• 94' Mazda 626 Maint. cont --

  Written by: rayfbaird on Jun 17, 2001 2:57:28 PM

  Continuing my other response. Change oil every 3,000 for a while. That may help. I am anything but a mechanic, my experience has been in the school of hard knocks and unnecessary repairs. 4. Do extra repairs with an timing belt change. Don’t get stranded, don’t harm the engine, get the belt replaced soon. It’s covered and is hard to examine. When you change the timing belt at 90,000 change the ... Read More

• Platform Sharing...

  Written by: jstandefer on Mar 26, 2001 2:29:08 PM

  I have heard a great many speculations on the platform future of many Mazda models. First off, I have to say that the 626 platform has served both Mazda AND Ford very well. The MPV is built on a modified 626 platform, as is the Tribute/Escape. Of course, in the past, the MX-6/Probe was built on the 626 platform. But, as good as it is, they do need to be updated ...

• Is Mazda the right choice?

  Written by: readytobuy4 on Aug 28, 2000 1:58:01 PM

  I am curious to hear from anyone who has compared other models to the Mazda 626 and ended up buying the Mazda. I was drawn to Mazda after seeing an ad for a 4 cylinder 626 that is fully loaded (leather, alloy wheels, power everything, CD player, etc) for $14,500. After visiting the dealer I learned that I did not qualify for this price since I was not a college grad ... Read More

  My neighbor has a 1998 Mazda 626 with 50k miles for sale for about $9k and I have a 1991 Toyota Camry that has 105k miles that I bought used in 1995 for $10k. It has been a great, dependable car with only repairs due to wear & tear -- and not much of that. I thought I'd do some browsing to see what owners have to say about the Mazda, ... Read More
