1997 Mazda 626 LX review from North America
"Very good car for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Emission Light Comes on!!
General comments?
Aoubt 3 years ago my emmision light came on, prior to going to the dealer I read the drivers manual and was very glad that I did. It recommened that you check your fuel cap to ensure it is tight. After I did that the light went out in a couple of minutes. Every now and then after I gas up and my engine ligt comes on, I just check my cap and each time it has not been tight. As I see this is a common problems with so many pers, bit of a hint, before going to the dealer, check the gas cap.
The only other problem was when I first bouth the car, the tires (goodyear) that came on it only lasted about 40,000KM, they all wore out at the same time, the pressure was good, they had been rotated, after I learned that the tires were not the good for that model of car. This today is my only complaint.
