• 2002 Mazda 626 Crank but No Start Condition

  If the engine cranks but does not start, it may be caused by a tripped inertia switch. Switch the key to "ON" and the fuel pump should be heard running for a second or two. Listen at the gas filler if necessary. If you do not hear the pump the inertia switch should be reset, it will "click" when it is reset.

• 2002 Mazda 626 Crank but No Start Condition and No Spark

  If the engine cranks but will not start, it may be due a failed distributor . In the diagnosis, it may be discovered that the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) Unit is the cause if ignition spark is restored after disconnecting the Spark Output (SPOUT) Connector.

  The passages for the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system can become restricted or clogged causing the Check Engine Light to illuminate. The EGR valve will need to be inspected and the passages cleaned.

• 2002 Mazda 626 Misfires Under Load

  Misfires under load (acceleration) can be caused by leaky spark plug boots. When a spark plug boot leaks, it allows the spark to arc, or jump, to the cylinder head . If evidence of arcing can be seen on the inside of the spark plug boot, new spark plug wires will be needed.

• 2002 Mazda 626 Intake Manifold Vacuum Leak Causing Rough Idle

• 2002 Mazda 626 Misfires Under Load With V6

  Vehicles with a V6 engine may develop an engine misfire under load (acceleration). This can be caused by a valve cover gasket leaking oil into a spark plug well, shorting the spark plug to the cylinder head . To repair this concern, the valve cover needs to be resealed and the spark plugs and wires should be replaced.

• 2002 Mazda 626 Knocking from suspension on rough roads due to worn or loose sway bar links

  A knocking sound heard from the front or rear suspension while driving over rough roads may be caused by the sway bar linkages. The linkages should be inspected for tightness and condition; there are redesigned linkages if replacement is necessary.
