1999 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"Its great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had a loss of power and the check engine light started coming on at around 60,000 miles. The light will stay on for one or two days then go off.
General comments?
For everyone that has a 626 with over 20,000 mile and the check engine light is coming on you may have a bad Oxygen Sensor. This will be the sensor that is located on the tail pipe just before the Catalytic Converter. This is a big problem with all Mazda 626's. This is the only real problem that I have had with my car.
