1995 Mazda 626 Questions & Answers
There is oil on top of the pistons
Valve Seals are bad, you need the head rebuilt, new seals and valves. You could try a stop leak product to espand the seals if it has been sitting for awhile. I would not buy anything expensive, but it would be worth a shot, before you have to tear off the top of the engine. Mechanics refer to it as a "Head Job" Well old school mechs. Ask around. I know it is not the PC term, but it is definately Valve Seals oil is leaking past these seals and into the combustion chamber.
How do I replace my alternater belt in my Mazda 626 lx
If the alternator is on the top in the open, just loosen the alternator bolts a little bit. Then push the alternator to loosen the belt to remove it. Do the opposite to put the new belt on.
If the alternator is buried under a lot of other things, it's a lot tougher job.
Hope this helps.

Signs of a bad starter
There are many different signs of a bad starter. First thing you want to note is if you have a "check engine" light on with the key on engine off or with the engine running. If you have a check engine light then go to advanced auto/ autozone etc and they will scan it for free. Also, while you are there, i THINK they will also check the starter for free... what seems to be the problem you are having? no start? start then die? takes long to start? please advise, Tim
