look on the back of the cams to see if their are any slots on them sorry not experianced like a dealer fitter on this car so go back to basics and look ,firstly is this engine a rebuild or something or has the timing belt snapped ,if so is it a valve free engine or have got bent valves ask at dealer for this ,then TDC no1 with plug out and long thin screwdriver to locate the TDC then look at the valves engine rotates to the right so its inlet cam lobe up and to the left ,exhaust up and to the right then look for what could be a corresponding mark ,before cranking engine make sure you turn it over with a rachet and socket first 360? to ensure no valves crunching

under the dash board on the passenger side is where the heater core is located anything associated with the blend doorwould also be located there as well.

check and or clean the (IAC) idle air control, this is what controls idling on most of todays cars and light trucks. if iac is removed for cleaning. clean out where it mounts to engine or fuel injection unit. good-day !

This is not good. Sounds like the heater fan bearing and/or resistor is burning out. Not familiar with your heater fan location, but most will be removeable from engine compartment.Just remove it and spin it by hand or hook auxillary power to it to test. Some autoparts stores can test it for you. Stuff a rag in the opening to block fumes if this must be driven for parts run.

It sounds like the alternator is bad but have it tested before you replace it. if you have a meter you can check the voltage with the engine running and the lights on. the volts at the battery should be just at 13.8v dc. If the voltage drops below 11.5v dc with the engine running and the lights on then the alternator is most likely bad. hope this helped. Good luck.

this could be a case of carbon debris in the throttle body plates and idle air control chambers...simply might just need serviced/cleaned...pull air intake off throttle body and spray with a good throttle body cleaner spray including the idle air ports. Ive also seen motor mounts cause this as this is more of a vibration felt in gear

You need to change ur transmission fluid. Like the oil Transmission fluid also degrades and picks up contaminates while it circulates. There is also a transmission filter that should be changed. I do not recommend a back flush which is what a lot of mechanics will try and say is a good thing. They dont change the filter when they do this and they basically use pressure to force the fluid backwards through your system. I have heard many a horror story from ppl getting this done. You could also do this job yourself. It isn't all to complex and if ur somewhat mechanically inclined should manage pretty easily. first thing you want to do is jack up your vehicle and support on jackstands. You can go with just front end or whole car doesnt really make a difference. Then you want to remove the transmission pan. It's right behind the oil pan and it doesn't have a drain plug so you will need to take it off while its full. Have a container ready to catch fluid. Also to make it easier you can take out the backside bolts while just loosening the front bolts to let some of the fluid drain before removing it. Front of car being jacked up will help the fluid drain to the rear better. when you get the pan off right inside there will be a filter connected by a short pipe to the vehicle you should be able to tell its the filter. you just pull that off. Should just be attached with an O-ring. Replace the filter and re-install pan (make sure all traces of old gasket are removed from pan and pan matting surface and install new gasket). add transmission fluid at this point if your dipstick has a cold fill mark use that. You have only changed about a third of your transmission fluid at this point since a lot is still in the system. Now you need to get that out also. Find your transmission lines running to the front of the car and connecting to the radiator. Unscrew the end of the return line coming from the radiator going to the transmission. Now this is important, during this process you must never let ur transmission run outta fluid, doing this could cause damage to your vehicle. Have new trans fluid ready to go and a container to catch the old fluid that will be flowing out. Have a helper to run the car while you are adding and watching the fluid. when the car is running the fluid will start to flow out of the hose. While the old fluid is coming out add new to the radiator through the fill line(where the dipstick comes out). when the fluid starts to come out clean stop the vehicle re-attach the line and fill to proper levels. You now have gotten most of the fluid out and are now running clean fluid. Your vehicle should feel a lot different when you drive if your fluid is that dirty. Hope I was of some help to you.

Answer to question Where is the Fuel Pump relay on a 1999 Mazda 626.

The relay in in the cover box that contain a variety of fuses just behind the batterty on the driver side of the car. One has to press the tab and remove the cover to see the relay. The cover give a brief description of the fuse and relay locations, but does not call it fule pump relay. The blue arrow point to the fuel pump relay

1. Auto inspections of the vehicle may produce results contributing towards restoration. For example, the auto technician makes the evaluation as separate arrangement from which problematic areas are ascertainable. The result findings are documented as diagnostic draft plans from which repair authorizations are achievable. At which point, diagnostic without repair requirements would least requires any further procedures. However, once the vehicles diagnostics produce result requiring expert vehicle repairs, the next sequence of procedures are initiated. First, vehicle repairs require constituent components either permanent parts or depleteable resources constituents prior to workshop initiation plans. Auto technician diagnostic plans would usually contain the damage of the vehicle. A decision to commence restoration of the faults would produce estimate drafts in parts repaired for either replacement acquirable, leasable or alternately. The next sequence includes calculations estimates in resources that would be required contributing towards entire workshop restoration process procedures.
2. Usually an evaluation auto expert may necessarily not have resource constituents for restoration to occur. An alternative arrangement includes acquiring component parts specified on diagnostic charts from elsewhere. Meanwhile the arrangement may be with the evaluations technician as repairs fellow once components were amassed. A diagnostic technician may provide the means to acquiring components when engaged as the repairs person however. Also, the type of auto restoration mode may require workshop environments with several signifance advantages. First, an auto workshop would usually provide environment where extensive tasks are achievable. For example, the auto repair environments require least obstruction to achieve success especially with tasks that may require undivided external obstructions with delicate technical process procedures. Second, auto repairs require workshops where installment facilities including huge to work box tools are prevalent to achieve repair works. Third, auto workshops provide the exclusive environment to achieve vehicle restoration.
3. Usually an auto damage inspector would require fees for the expertise rendered as alternate arrangement. A result produced requiring pursuit arrangements may cost alternatively. For example, acquiring parts for that may be required to contribute towards restoration of damage decided from an auto evaluation expert is achieved at an alternate location. Auto parts stores would usually be a separate entity from the mechanical expert. Also, once the constituent parts for restoration the vehicle has been acquired, the same technician's expertise may be requested as separate cost termed workmanship fees. An alternate auto expert's consultation to restore the vehicle with the diagnosis plan, acquired parts, would involve separate cost arrangements.
4. Usually, the likelihood of where vehicles damage requires workshop area only acquirable at separate arrangement may have cost fees. The condition attachments of the workshop may contribute towards cost fee explainable. For example, a leased workshop may require for auto technician to perform expediently else additional cost are incurred to the vehicle owner. Also mentionable situations where technician fee cost increase due to schedule arrangements found unsuitable either as working elsewhere inconveniently or being hurried to achieve report works are only mentionable conditions with auto workshop as alternate arrangements from the technician expert's responsibility.
5. A damaged auto vehicle may require several arrangements contributing towards repairs least mentioned in technical responsibilities. For example, moving damaged vehicles between places prior to restoration may have been separate arrangement. Acquiring component parts that contribute towards restoring the vehicle is alternate arrangement. For example, component parts situated elsewhere requiring acquisition from the situation of vehicle or workshop, and technician expert contributes towards fee costs as amongst restoration conditions. Also requiring alternate arrangement prior to auto workshop commencement is fee cost calculations. An expert consultation may be required to ascertain the entire process contributing towards restoring a dame vehicle. For example, the documentation of the entire process has two advantages. First, throughout until the repairs are achievable, the documentations expert provides the details understood as feasible to achieve repairs. Second, the documentations expert provides the details as necessary processes until repair s are achievable. For example, the documentation is similar with accounting purpose requirements, record keeping, or even feasibility analyst for projects of individuals or businesses.
6. The transportation efforts constitute in the repairing vehicles includes logistical resources that contribute towards restoring the broken equipment. Usually, consulting with an external entity as transport management responsibility has conditions. An example is consulting with towing transport establishments. A tow transport has several arrangements. Usually, the machine type requested has cost implications. Where size is significant factor in tow trucking. The larger a vehicle requires extraneous cost fees. Second, the responsibility request from the tow trucking has several requirements. For example, a demanding task from tow transport command huge fee costs. However, a rate fee makes the truck vehicle available. Several constituent arrangements of durational service request from the trucking establishment requests fee costs. Tow trucking establishment may have arrangement requirements contributing towards cost fees. Several examples are provided on acquiring transport for auto restoration peruses. First, the durational request of the truck ma have a charge cost where extensive duration has cost fees separate than least spans. However, the charge for acquiring truck transporting has fee cost separate from unforeseeable conditions. For example, requesting the truck may have transportation component arrangements where further off destination chargers from truck vicinity area are mentionable. Also, truck constituents like gasoline arrangements handled separately. The type of trucking establishment may require the costs of chauffer also conditional. For example, trucking may allow for requester to operate the device, else acquiring an alternate operator the device would become necessary commanding charge fees and costs

The vehicle's mechanical levers are joined together only separated at ball socket areas. Every ball socket area is lubricated to minimize wear though require durational inspections from which modifications may be achieved. The vehicles mechanical parts however least require replacement unless were malfunction with appropriate recommendation of change as solution. Mechanical parts however function with fluid lubricants that require replacement duration ally. A mechanical fluid however may last an entire expected length until the specified reinsapction without a situation of harm occurring prior to regular auto service inspections. However, the significance of mechanical fluids are providing lubrication for moving parts where the vehicle benefits in motion generation while the drivers acquire resourcefulness for the most part, and pleasant ride as contributory experience with proper functioning constituent components. Several mentionable factors makes vehicles component require frequent reevaluations. First, the type of conditions that are exerted on the vehicle determines the evaluation requirements. For example, mechanical power trains of a vehicle are overexerted with tasking functions either hauling, or repetitive engagement functionalities. Usually vehicles with dual functionalities may require separate checkup since over exerted parts acquire wear compared with remaining least enagagerable components. The components of the vehicle usually have durational inspection requirements. However, once observing malfunction requires evaluation prior to regular durational service inspections.

No if its not doing anything at all it could be a bad wiring harness or if ur lucky a bad ignition.

The noise you are describing may very well a bad wheel bearing, the wheel bearings are sealed units and they last about 100,000 miles on average, the fronts go 1st because they carry the heaviest load.

If your timing belt broke, then you likely have bent valves that need to be repaired so the head needs to come off znf be sent out to get fixed. If you replaced it as part of routine maintenance, then it's most likely that you are off timing by 1 or 2 teeth. This happens quite often when you tighten the belt tensioner. Realign your timing marks on the crankshaft and see whether the cam marks line up or not. If not loosen the bel, slip it off the cams and turn them into place. It shouldn't be more than 1 tooth. Hope this helps.

okay, good testing, your next step is to check for spark, remove a sparkplug wire and insert a screwdriver into the boot and place near a metal object like the engine and see if it sparks. let me know if you are getting spark and we will go from there. good day.
