There are three things you need to consider before purchasing a battery for your car...
1. Physical size -> it has to fit in the holder
2. Assembly -> the posts need to be on the correct side (RC or LC)
3. Discharge capacity (this is given in CCA or cold cranking Amps), and is the maximun discharge rate the battery can hold for 90 secs.
As a general rule, the largewst battery that will fit is the one you want to buy. But of course if the budget is tight, then a smaller one would have to do. Don;t go smaller than 55 Ampere hour or 400 to 500 CCA, though.

contact or see a local mazda dealer, have the regesteration with you, they will need the full vin of your car, and they can get the proper key for you, and program it for you.

This is because the oil hasn't circulated in the HLA (hydrolic lash adjusters) that is ontop of the valves/springs under the cam. Once they are full with oil, the clicking stops and they opperate properly! Try running a thicker oil, other than that it's not a big problem unless the ticking is very loud or doesn't stop after it's warm.

One or all belts aren't tightened enough.
The squell is a belt slipping.
It does it in gear because there is more drag then.
Smelling rubber either because they are new belts, or the belt is way to loose.

The HOLD button is pressed will not let the trans into overdrive.

You cold have a bad injector, the best thing to do is to swap out the injector with another injector like #2 injector and see if cylinder #2 get's no fuel. If there is no fuel in to #2 then you need to replace the injector, if #3 still has no fuel then it's going to be the wire harness to the #3 injector that is bad. If there is an Auto Zone you can loan out a fuel injector node that will indicate if there is power to the injector harness which would indicate a bad fuel injector so you don't have to swap out the injectors twice. Good luck and hope this helps you get your car running 100% soon. 

Check the wiring at the injector - then check the continuity across the injector coil. Give the whole area a good visible scrutiny. Otherwise, you need a new injector - and that's rare.

Before you spend the time and money,get the auto choke checked.It may make the car hard to start.Basics 1st.Hope this helps

if the belt that is missing is on the passenger sidde of the vehicle this is the drive belt and probably the one that drives the alternator that is why the battery light is on.

your seal between the engine and the tranmission maybe blown, thats why it's leaking, will cost you a bit to fix

first, check the transmission fluid lever, and see if it's low. ( the transmission dipstick can be found on the right side of the engine ( yellow knob ) ). check with your owners manuel, and fill as needed. you put the transmission oil in where the dipstick is. If that does not work, unfortunatly, you will be needing a rebuild ( 1800$ canadian, i don't know how much that compares to in your money)

check you distributor, and your spark plug wires

your fuel tank gauge ( inside your fuel tank ) maybe malfunction. get it checked

cheers

it cost the same because the gas tank capacity is the same as a 1.6, but your engine burns more fuel than a 1.6, and also faster

first remove the 3 screws linking the metal bracket to the headlight, the the 2 bolts on top, and the last bolt inside the bumper, you will need a flashlight to see, it's not easy to find

good luck
