Problem overview

Some Mazda 626 owners report experiencing misfiring in three cylinders, which may be attributed to faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel injectors, vacuum leaks, or low compression. This misfiring often leads to a noticeable loss of power, as it indicates incomplete combustion in the affected cylinders. Additionally, a flashing check engine light serves as a serious warning sign, particularly when accompanied by these other symptoms. To effectively resolve these issues, it is advisable for owners to have their vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic who can identify the specific cause of the misfiring and restore the Mazda 626's performance.
