The 1996 Mazda 626 got a little facelift, but other than that saw few changes. The grille was trimmed with chrome, making it more noticeable. In addition, the 626 now met side-impact safety standards.
The 1996 Mazda 626 is available in four trims: the base DX, the midrange LX and LX V6, and the ES. The ES is the high-end version, coming well-equipped with amenities such as power seats and leather upholstery. The base engine is a 2.0-liter, 118-horsepower four cylinder. The V6 boasts 2.5 liters and 164 horsepower. Fuel economy for the base engine was 23/31, and for the V6 it was 20/26.
Owners of the 1996 Mazda 626 are pleased with the car because it handles well, is enjoyable to drive, and gets fairly good gas mileage. However, a number of people claim the automatic transmission have a tendency to burn out quickly, which can be very expensive to repair.
I want to find a compatible pickup body for my motor. Engine swap. I have a 1996 2l Mazda 626 executive whose body has deteriorated but the motor is still good. I want to move the engine to a compatible pickup body, what would you advise?
Hi. I've begun seeing my check engine light appear, when i'm turning my steering wheel at stationary, or moving at low speeds around sharper corners. The car does not give me an error code, when i want to get a readout. The car is a european 323 from 2000 (think protege lx sedan body), but shares same obd1 system as the '96 626. just to clarify. Any pointers, ideas etc. what could be the culprit? Power steering resevoir is maxed, as is the coolant overflow resevoir.
I dont see any where to show when my car's timing belt was changed ... or maybe it is not changed at all... please let me know how to know if it is the time to change the car's timing belt before it breaks?????
Would a 1995 Honda Accord Motor fit in a 1996 Mazda 626
