This pertains to installing a new timing belt. When the #1 cylinder is at top dead center and the camshaft marks are aligned, should both camshafts NOT be pushing slightly on any valve but have all the valves closed? This seems to be my experience from previous cars. The belt is installed when the camshaft is in a neutral all valves closed position.
No, you will have open valves when the timing marks are aligned. This will create spring pressure and will want to move the cams to a neutral position. This is why you need the retaining tool to hold the cams in the proper location while the belt is replaced.
SOURCE: I had the Oil control
your timing belt has jumped 1-2 teeth i've never heard of an oil control solenoid valve
SOURCE: i have a 1994 mazda
this diagram is for the 2.0l model please if this is not your model can you clarify your engine size and your engine no. so i can give you an acurate diagram
SOURCE: i need to set up the camshaft timing marks on a 1994 mazda b2600
its not just the camshaft timing marks you set up, you also have to have the crankshaft timing mark set right to or you may damage your engine
check the internet for the right timing procedure for you model car ok
SOURCE: put a new timing belt on my 2003 Mazda Protege and
When you align the timing marks up take a wrench and rotate the crankshaft pully twice so the timing mark is lined up in the notch and then check your camshafts and see if you are still aligned. This may take a few times to get it right. Good luck!

First check the spark plugs. If your engine cranks normally but will
not start because it has no spark, or it stalls and won't restart because it
has no spark, the problem may be due to any of the following: 1) A bad pickup inside the distributor ,a
stripped distributor drive gear (common problem with plastic
distributor drive gears), broken, loose or corroded wires from the pickup to
the ignition module or PCM. 2) A bad crankshaft position (CKP)
sensor or broken, loose or corroded wires from the sensor to the PCM. 3) A bad ignition module or A bad
ignition coil . 4) A bad rotor or distributor cap (cracks
or carbon tracks that are allowing the spark to short to ground) 5) Faulty ignition switch. ------------ You can also do a test to confirm the
problem .The procedure to do the test is as follows:--- If your
engine has spark plug wires, disconnect one of the plug wires from a spark plug
and place the end of the wire near a metal surface on the engine. Then insert a
small Phillips screwdriver into the end of the wire (the plug boot), or a small
bolt or nail to provide a conductive path. Then crank the engine and look for a
spark to jump from the screwdriver, bolt or nail in the end of the plug wire to
the engine. If you do not see a spark, there is an ignition problem. OR----------- If your engine has a
coil-on-plug ignition system with no plug wires, In that case remove one
of the coils from the spark plug and insert an old spark plug, a spark plug
tester or a screwdriver into the end of the coil. Ground the spark plug or plug
tester to the engine, then crank the engine and look for a spark. No spark
indicates an ignition problem. Possibilities
to be checked in this problem are as follows:-- If the engine has no spark, check for
voltage at the coil positive terminal when the ignition key is on. If NO
voltage, then problem is on the trigger side of the coil (pickup, crank sensor,
ignition module or primary wiring circuit). But If there is NO voltage at the coil
itself, then in that case the problem is on the supply side (the ignition
switch or ignition wiring circuit). But if the coil has voltage, then problem
may be a bad high voltage output wire from the coil to the distributor,
hairline cracks in the coil output tower, or cracks or carbon tracks inside the
distributor cap or on the rotor.------Getting this all possibilities checked
will point towards the exact faulty part which is to be replaced. But if all this possibilities checked out ok,then yes its the ECU fault.Get the ECU checked and replaced.----------This
should help.Thanks.Helpmech.
Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions Section.
Remove or disconnect the following:
Negative battery cable
Engine cover
Right-hand front wheel
Right-hand wheel well side cover
Accessory drive belts
Water pump pulley
Timing belt upper cover
Turn the crankshaft pulley so cylinder No. 1 is at Top Dead Center (TDC). Align the pulley groove with the timing mark "T" of the timing belt cover.
Remove or disconnect the following:
Crankshaft pulley
Crankshaft flange
Lower timing belt cover
Timing belt tensioner
Timing belt To install:Align the timing marks of the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets to ensure the No. 1 cylinder is at TDC.Temporarily install the timing belt tensioner.Install the timing belt over the crankshaft sprocket, then inside the idler pulley, over the camshaft sprocket and then inside the timing belt tensioner.Apply tension to the timing belt by turning the tensioner in the clockwise direction so there is no slack in the belt on the tension side.Tighten the tensioner mounting bolts to 20 ft. lbs. (27 Nm).Check the timing belt tension as follows:
1.6L (VIN 3) engine: Push the tension side of the belt in horizontally with a moderate force, the timing belt cog end is approximately 1/2 of the tensioner mounting bolt head radius away from the bolt head center.
2.0L engine: Push the tension side of the belt in horizontally with a moderate force, the timing belt cog end sags approximately 0.16-0.24 inches (4-6 mm).
Turn the crankshaft two turns in the clockwise direction and realign the crankshaft sprocket and camshaft sprocket timing marks.

NOTE: Installation of the alignment tool into the exhaust camshaft (6250) may require the camshaft to be rotated clockwise. 
Engage the timing belt tensioner tab into the upper timing cover backplate. 
CAUTION: The camshaft must be held stationary with an open-end wrench. Do not use the alignment tool to hold the camshaft in position or damage to the camshaft may occur. 
CAUTION: The camshaft must be held stationary with an open-end wrench. Do not use the alignment tool to hold the camshaft in position or damage to the camshaft may occur. 
Remove the bolt and install the TDC peg. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise against the peg.
NOTE: Installation of the alignment tool into the exhaust camshaft may require the camshaft to be rotated clockwise. If the alignment tool does not align and install in the camshafts, repeat Steps 1 through 17.
