SOURCE: Mazda 626 timing

If the timing was 180 out it wouldn't run at all.
Do a compression test to make sure all the cylinders are in good condition, go back over your timing and make sure you aren't overlooking something like two plug leads swapped?, it sounds like it's only firing on two.

Check the Fuel injection system (injectors) and the intake manifold. It might also be wise to check the alternator as well as the starter coil and also the electronic distributor

Distributor fault, the coil goes down in tyhem and sometimes pops the ECU.

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,

Sounds like your fuel pump has gone bad. Take it to a mechanic and they can check it.

90 mazda 626 cranks but wont turn over

Have you checked for spark?

have you pulled a plug after cranking to see if it is wet?

does the engine sound like it is turning over faster than usual?

did it just not start or did it stall. Did this happen after you changed the spark plugs?

My mazda 626 has a strong potent smell coming from the exhaust

You don't mention what that smell is reminiscent of?

You don't mention the colour of the "smoke" and you didn't say whether the engine is petrol or diesel?

You don't mention whether the road behaviour/performance is normal?

White smoke is almost always steam or in the case of a diesel it could be an unburned fuel mist, grey/black is excess fuel and blue or grey/blue is burning oil.

Some steam is fairly normal until the engine and exhaust system is hot but excessive amounts could be one symptom of head gasket trouble. If the engine is drinking coolant and sending it through the exhaust as steam it will sometimes smell spicy.

Burning oil smells a bit like burned eggs in the frying pan.

If the car hasn't ultra-low sulphur oil and fuel the catalytic converter will convert sulphur traces into hydrogen sulphide - the bad egg gas...

Need to know where the fuel filter is located please to replace

do you mean it wont start ? if it runs but feels like its low on fuer try running it ( not driving it ) with the fuel cap removed and see if this cures it the air vent maybe blocked and causing a vacume in the tank , hence the fuel will struggle to get to the engine , , worth a try
