I have the exact make, model, year in the repair shop right now with the same symptoms. Horrible screeching noise after starting the vehicle, and smoke coming from the ignition area. Most likely it is a short in the ignition switch. It could have also affected the starter module but I would start with the ignition switch.

Hi Janieanip01,
Again we need more imfo....Is the vehicle injection?....If it is you'll have to wait until the fuel rail is re-pressurised before it will start....Crank it for about ten seconds at a time so as not to burn out the starter motor....It may be that the vehicle didn't run out of fuel but instead the pump may have given in....and when did you last replace the fuel fiter?

SOURCE: changing the tail light bulbs on a 2000 mazda 626

The Tail Lights Are Accessed From The Inside Of The Trunk There Will Either Be A Panel Immediately Behind Where The Light Is Or Carpet. Remove It And It Will Give You Access To The Rear Of The Bolts Just Grab Twist And Pull And The Light Will Come Out.

if you have spark at the plugs you need to check fuel pressure at reed valve on fuel rail,you will need at least 55psi to fire injectors,

97 mazda 626 v-6 some times car will start other times it dont fire at all when warm or cold when running it runs good

Hello if you car doesnt want to stat all the time,then the next time it dosent hold up on the ignition switch and turn the key. If it does then you have a switch problem.This is common in the mazda 626

Starts if you turn steering wheel

I will take a guess at this. You can't turn the key until you turn the steering wheel a little to the left or the right? This is usually caused by friction on the steering locking mechanism which keeps the key from turning in order to start the car. If this is not the case then you may have a bad ignition switch or cable head connecting to the switch that is not making contact until you move the steering wheel around and it makes contact allowing you to start the vehicle. Good Luck, RAC
