Re: Loosing power [mickeyz1]
Good ignition wires are vital on these engines and I found only one brand that works well... NGK... so don't waste your time and $ as I did on other so-called premium wires on your Mazda because they just don't work right, causing power-robbing misfires and stall-outs at low RPMs. Secondly, after owning 2 nearly identical Mazda 626 LX V6 manual cars (1998 and 2000 models) with similar ongoing starting troubles ...

2001 mazda 626 transmission problem
my 01 626 just started having transmission problem. I changed the fluid. The pump is working, the filter is not stopped up. When you put it in drive from a dead stop, it does not want to go. You have to rev the rpms up to like 2000 and it will slowly start moving until it gets up to like 20 mph then will shift good and no problem after that. ... Read More

Re: 2000 Mazda 626 Clutch Problems [kew423]
p100 is correct. If your clutch failed the symptom would not be the pedal going quickly to the floor and staying there. The pedal itself would feel quite normal even with a burned out clutch. So it's a hydraulic issue, not a clutch issue, we suspect.
-
Re: 2000 Mazda 626 Clutch Problems [kew423]
Most likely the internal clutch master cylinder seals failed. This only affects the clutch release hydraulic circuit, not the clutch itself. The same thing happened to my car at 130k miles. Mazda 626 does not have the best clutch master cylinders or slave cylinders. You need to either install a new master/slave cylinders, or have them rebuilt. Then you need to bleed the lines to get rid of trapped air. Do ... Read More

Re: trans range switch [bkristeller]
One thing to consider is, if your car doesn't have an auxiliary transmission cooler, add one. It's about $200 installed by a Mazda dealer (maybe less if elsewhere?). I had one installed on my 2000 626 4AT when I bought it over 2 years ago, on the dealer's recommendation. The car shifted poorly and the check engine light came on. Since the cooler was installed I've had zero problems with the ... Read More

Idle speed increases when A/C or windshield blower is on
Hi, I am new here. I bought a 2000 Mazda 626 ES V6 (66K miles)last month.

Re: Changing the thermostat 2000 Mazda 626 2 5 liter engine [1718]

I love this car!
I'm with all the owners of Mazda 626. It's a great car and I would not sell it b/c I know I would not get the fair resale value it deserves. As a matter of fact, my 98 626 has over 180K miles. It zips about a quart between each oil change and the engine idle is often quite high (over 2000 rpm), but it still runs great and the gas ... Read More

Re: Farewell to our 2000 Mazda 626 LX V6 [cherostar2]
Cory Fairbanks Mazda? I almost bought a car from them, Almost, because they charge $ 650 dealer fee (preprinted on their sales form and non-negotiable) and that is ridiculous (even if they sell you a car at invoice). BTW Mazda cars are not very fuel efficient. My 92 Protege LX with 1.8 liter DOHC 4 cylinder and 5 speed manual would only deliver 26 MPG on mid grade fuel in combined ... Read More

Re: Farewell to our 2000 Mazda 626 LX V6 [lewshel]
Our 2002 626 is a 4cyl and is a gas eater, getting no more than 22 in all around driving.The dealer did all his diagnostics and said according to his figures the car was getting 26! This is our 6th Mazda and the 2nd 626. The other was a '94 and got 29 on average with the same driver but had a 5 speed. Our two Proteges get 32 and more ... Read More

Farewell to our 2000 Mazda 626 LX V6
It is now in California (we live in New England) with our son. At 77,000 miles in 3 3/4 years it has been a good car with the usual Mazda auto transmission problems, better than the 97 4 cylinder LX we also had. The Mazda cloth seats are still amongst the most conmfortable and hold up. The V6 has a great power/weight ratio and always started in the winter. If Mazdas ... Read More

95 Mazda 626 Tranmission going down hill
I have to say, I have loved and babied my Mazda 626 V6. Handed it down to youngest son when I bought my 2000 Avalon and he has also babied it. Always had it check, tuned, you name it. Making noise and wants to change gears while stopped. Mazda dealer says transmission and not worth putting more money into. It only has 85,000 miles......not happy!!! Just last year put lots of ...

Real service intervals
Yesterday I brought our 2000 626LX V6 Auto (66,000 miles) in for an oil change. After it was done the service writer said that the timing belt was due for a change. I checked the owner's manual which said that the interval in Massachusetts and four other states was at 105,000. I am anxious about this because while this has been a good car to own It has not been trouble ... Read More

626 & Transmissions
This is my 2nd Mazda 626. I'm not sure I'll buy another one and think I need to look at getting rid of the one I have in another year or 2. My first was a '94. When it was 6 yrs old the transmission went out, I had just replaced the blower and a few other things so thought I'd better get rid of it. I got burned. Bought a ... Read More

626 tranny:
I noticed CR didn't reccomend the 626 for the 94 model year with good reason but I thought post 96 was better. I did have a 98 626 for 3 years that I leased and it was fine but it had like 28,300 miles on it so that isn't alot of miles to prove a cars reliability. As far as Toyota is concerned they have quality control issues like any other ... Read More

2000 Mazda 626 LX V6 problems
Hi, I'm having a few problems with my car(40,000 miles) and would appreciate any help. (1)Jerking: Not sure if the problem is technically classified as jerking but here is what happens. Try to accelearate the car gently(from about 10-15mph to 15-20mph) in slow traffic or in a parking lot and the car kind of jumps. Happens only in a small speed range(10-25mph) and for very gentle accelaration. Normal acceleration works fine. ... Read More

Idle Air Control Valve & Gasket issue...
To All, I posted message # 1395 to this board back in January and the outcome to that inquiry was that the dealer I purchased the car from replaced the PCM at no charge because my 2000 626 V6 was still just under the warranty period at 49,500 miles. The dealer stated that they could not get any error codes or get the car to start so they just replaced the ... Read More

Check Engine light
I just got a 2000 626 LX. Check engine light on within 24 hrs I got it. I know nothing about car. I was so upset and disappointed. Can I drive back to the dealer near 100 KMs away or I got a nearby Mazda dealer checked. I was told this is usually not covered in limited factory warranty, it maybe sth wrong with emission. Will this be a repeating problem? ... Read More

626 2000 year steering wheel noise
Hello everybody! It seems that it's my turn to ask for help... I love my 626 LX 2000, but one unpleasant feature makes me creazy: the wee-wee sound while you turning the steering wheel. I talked to a mechanic and he says that plastic cover on the wheel expends from the heat and touches the piece that doesn't move. He knows about this problem and even called Mazda but nobody knows ... Read More

PCM problem...
I purchased a new leftover 2000 Mazda 626 LX with the V6 & 5 speed trans in May of 2001. I commute a fair distance, so I have already put on 49,600 miles. Driving to work yesterday at about the 45 mile mark of my 50 mile commute, the dash lit up like a christmas tree and the car just died. Luckily, I was able to coast to the side of ... Read More

From this corner
I assume if someone is unhappy, there's a reason for it. The fourth-generation 626 ('93-'97) lacked the reliability of the previous versions, one reason Mazda has had to buckle down to improve the latter-day models. I'm a month into Year Three with a 2000 LX, and so far it has given me an absolute minimum of grief while returning gas mileage slightly above the EPA sticker - call it 23 city, ... Read More

2001 Mazda 626
I am thinking of buying 2001 Mazda 626 which has about 20000miles. The dealer price is $12K. Is this a good car. There are about 4 cars 2000 and 2001 626s around that price range. Pickup seems to be sluggish. Otherwise seems like a good car. Any comment is appreciated

Need advice on 2000 626
I am strongly considering buying a 2000 626 LX. It has 90,000 miles (90% highway) and has had excellent care/maint. I am concerned about all the postings I have read regarding Mazda transmissions. I have not seen any comments on the 2000 model. Did Mazda finally fix this problem? The transmission was serviced yesterday (routine) and was also serviced at 50,000 miles. Also, the seller is asking $8,000, is this a ... Read More

I agree that the tranny problem is bad corporate policy, but how can it warrant a recall? People love tossing out the term recall when they have to pay for a major repair. Let's keep recalls for issues that are really safety related. Manufacturers have a hard enough time getting people to pay notice to the recalls they issue now. In 2000 CR reccomended the 93 626? I'd have to see ... Read More

My 626 horror story
I thought I'd give my story and some of the problems/fixes to help others out. I bought a 93 626 LX in June 2000 from a friends company by private loan sort of deal. At the time it seemed like a good deal and I was able to unload my 91 MPV that was showing its age. I'm paying $7000 canadian for it and have several months to go on the ... Read More

Idling problem on '93 626
I've had this car for about 8 months, it's my first car. 1993 626 LX 4cyl automatic (yes it's slow :)). It currently has 131k miles. First off, the tranmission shifts quite rough and sometimes hesitates to downshift, like if I was to come to a rolling stop and then hit the gas it pauses for a while as it downshifts to accelerate. It's not really that bad, but I did ... Read More

Catering to the fearful
Some people make a practice of it. Over at Car Talk this past week, some cretinous goon wasted four or five screens listing every single page he could find on the Web that was even marginally critical of Mazda. (In fact, it started out at ten or eleven screens, since he lifted the entire 626 Transmission FAQ though the miracle of cut and paste; I shot that down with due dispatch.) ... Read More
