Re: 95 MAZDA 626 Idle problem

I have a 99 Mazda 626 with the 4 cylinder that was towed to my shop for the same reason. They had broke the timing belt and had a new one installed. The timing I have checked and is dead on. The car will idle and drive fine when cold, when it heats up it wants to stall. Go to a mechanic and have a cylinder leak down test performed when the engine is hot. If you are driving it with the timing off there is a slight chance of valve damage. You may also have vavles sticking when the engine is hot.
