could be draining  the battery  so we
disconected  it over night and tried to start it
.. still didn't work .. it's turning over , and runs
all day after jump starting it ..  ugh someone
what's wrong with this thing ??

I would have the starter checked out thoroughly. Also make sure the battery cables are clean on both ends and are in good shape. Look for any corrosion in the cables.

i have a 2000 mazda 626 lx. the knob to control the temperature swings freely from hot to cold without any form of resistance whatsoever. i assume its supposed to offer some form of resistance it i want to turn it from red(heat) to blue(cold), but it just swings freely. i think something must be broken. i tried to pull it out, but its hopeless. i don't want to break something else. the reason i'm asking this is because my heater is not working and this little problem might or might not be the reason. thanks for your help. 1 Answer
