You'll need to rotate the engine only in a clockwise direction, to get it to TDC on the compression stroke. When the engine is on the compression stroke, both valves to that cylinder are closed completely.
You can hold your finger over the #1plug hole with the plug removed, and as the engine is turned, you will notice pressure building, use a long rubber hose or something you won't drop into the cylinder, to put into the cylinder to feel the piston as it comes up to the very top. If you go past it, rotate the crankshaft 2 full times (almost) to get back to the TDC position.
There is also a mark on the crank pulley that will tell you when you reach TDC. Identifying the compression makes sure it's on the compression stroke, not the exhaust stroke. The engine turns 2 full turns for one turn of the camshaft.
Once you have TDC on the engine, rotate the distributor in your hand, to where the rotor will be pointing at the #1 position where it would send spark to the #1 spark plug wire & plug. Install and adjust as necessary to get the best idle, then hook up your timing light to set it to the factory specs.
Good luck!

Testimonial: "Thank you so very much for your assistance. I wish i could ask you alot of other questions!!"
SOURCE: mazda millenia problems
here are a few problems to look out for:
Check-engine light: Check engine light comes on due to carbon buildup on the exhaust valves of 2.5L engine. (1995-02)
Engine noise: Some engines make a metallic tapping noise requiring a new friction-gear spring on the camshaft. (1995)
Headlights: The headlight drain hoses can get kinked by the aiming screws causing fogging. (1995-96)
Keys: It may be hard to turn the ignition key because the steering shaft is not positioned correctly. (1995)
Steering problems: The steering wheel may be off center requiring adjustment of the tie rods. (1995).

i dont know about that but be carful because iv read that there are security sensors in the wiring of the radio its called rats radio anti-theft system if tampered with it may cause ur car to lock up and not start until u take it to a mazda dealer or mechanic and they do a factory reset which may be very costly

hold light flashing means you have a transmission fault of some kind, check vehicle speed sensor
