Got an experienced widely recommended mechanic to handle the job. Got the timing belt reset and the distribution cap which he discovered to be faulty replaced. Finally he has also discovered the brain box is affected (burnt). He is going to get a new brain box for it. Though the one the car came with is a sensor brain box, because of cost he wants to try an open brain box.

Any major difference between sensor brain box and open brain box?

This the update so far, I will keep you posted after the brain box is replaced.

Thanks for your useful contributions and care.

A mob action occurred yesterday night at Arthur Eze Avenue in Awka, Anambra state capital as people dealt with a lady for beating her maid aggressively to the point of breaking her head.

According to a report by Charles Obi, the neighbors made up mostly of women who saw her in the act - invaded her home to rescue the little girl of about 7 years of age while punches and whips were given at will.

Some of the angry mob also took the bleeding girl to the shop of the woman's husband to ascertain his level of involvement in such brutality.

It was gathered that the woman's husband fled when informed of his wife's wicked acts.

the bolded says mostly women, but the OP's picture shows mostly men who dealt with the wicked woman, so how do we reconcile your pic with the story?

Absolutely! The timing belt can be reset, if your mechanic knows what he's doing. He might know what he's doing, considering that he did replaced the oil seals by the ignition timing area.

If your car uses a distribution box(has spark plug wires), then, probably the ignition has being retarded too much, causing it to not start.


PS: If it displays the key sign, without starting, then I suspect there must be something going on wrong with the ignition module ID. It may not be identifying the signal being sent from the ignition, to the ignition module.

It could also be that your car's security system is preventing the car from starting, if it has developed some kind of fault.

Thanks bro., the car starts but doesn't remain steaming, as soon as you remove your foot from the pedal, the engine goes off.

I have gotten another mechanic to look at it, and his attention is on the ignition belt. The key sign has always been there without any problems, as soon as the car starts, the key sign disappears and that has been its behavior, without posing and problem.

I will get you posted with the update about the car.

Thanks again.

From the picture you uploaded, your car can't be a 2012 model. I'm thinking 1994 - 1996.

There is a seal on the distributor cap assembly but I don't think that can cause the spark plugs to get wet. From your initial complaint, I think your mechanic has replaced your valve stem seals but he has somehow messed with the ignition timing assuming all vacuum lines and wires have been thoroughly checked.

What exactly did the mechanic do to the "unusual noise" he detected?

From the VIN check it actually shows 2012 version to my amazement. Its only one of the plugs that is always soaked and the mechanic says its oil seal that is leaking and I left the car with him for the office. By the time I came back he showed me a little thick round rubber that he had changed from the distributor cap assembly. He said he traced the "unusual noise" to the timing belt and got it resolved, he never told me what he did. Am going to get another mechanic to do a thorough check of the oil seal and timing belt.

Thanks alot for digging deep.

Jenifer Douglas is NOT Atiku's fourth wife, ATIKU already had four wives, he divorced his FIRST wife, without any kind of misunderstanding whatsoever in other to marry Jennifer Douglas.
He did this when he wanted to contest for presidency in 2011, hoping to make Jenifer his first lady.
A man that has no respect for woman, who acquire and discard women like a USED tissue paper, wants to become a President of a country.
When the campaign proper starts, a LOT of embarrassing information concerning ATIKU and his I'll treatment of women will come to the fore.

who is it that have no sin should throw the first stone. show me Buhari WAEC certificate? Is OBJ flawless? is GEJ flawless? who among all our leaders (past and present) have no sin? How about you, are you flawless, No angel will fall from heaven to rule Nigeria, we got to look out for some persons that are committed to placing Nigeria on the right track, not peeping his private life.

TRYGO:
Terribly sorry for your situation.
What the mechanic replaced is called VALVE COVER SEAL. And I don't see how that could result in the tining being tempered with, as Kong as the belt/chain wasn't part of the repair process.

All the parts replaced, shouldn't have being replaced in the first place. Keep those parts, and have the car SCANNED of codes first! Without doing that, you'd keep throwing money at parts.

Isn't there a check engine light on the dashboard displaying?

I hope the "rewires" you called haven't spliced the car's wiring harnesses, and did terrible connections?

Dear Joseph,

Thanks for your concern. The check engine light on the dashboard displays "key" symbol, and I think it has something to do with a faulty ignition. I learnt the mechanic tampered with the timing belt, could it also be the cause, can the timing belt be reset?

cyborg123:
I believe the valve stem seal was replaced due to the plug being soaked. OP, come and clarify.

That said, is there an OBD port on a car of that year? I'm not sure the OP can enjoy the benefit of a scan.

Yes they say its oil seal, but he changed a seal in the plug wire "distribution box". I don't know if he replaced the right seal.
Can the oil seal be located at the "distribution box"? Or has he replaced the valve seal instead of oil seal?

Please don't mind my lame terms.

Its a 2012 Mazda 626.

Engine ignition timing has been messed up. Have a qualified mechanic check & reset it.

Thank you for your contribution. I had dropped the car with him and left for work. The ignition timing belt I think was tampered with because the mechanic did confess to me, that he heard an unusual noise from the engine and traced it to the timing belt, because I got surprised that a car I drove down to the mechanic shop for a minor fault suddenly could not start and function anymore.

Thanks again for your useful contribution!

I own a Mazda 626, manual transmission with injector engine. The oil seal was found to be leaking as it was making one of the plugs to get soaked with oil.
I took it to a mechanic and he changed the damaged seal with another one and coupled it. At the end of the work, he turned on the ignition, the car starts and the ignition keep tripping off, it never remain steaming. Every attempt to get this problem resolved by different mechanics that were called to assist, failed. Auto electricians were also called, and they have done all they could, yet the problem remains. All the plugs were changed, the nozzles were serviced, yet to no avail. I have spent time, I have spent hard earned money yet nothing seems to work. Its over 3 good weeks now at the workshop, am running out of any idea as to what I could do next.

Please and please, does anyone know what could be wrong, your useful experienced opinions will be appreciated. Below is an exact picture of the car.

Nlanders beware of desperate scammers

I have listened and read through many comments, contributions and opinions made by many Nigerians of great repute concerning our nation's president health. I have also read how the Aso Rock cabals and kitchen cabinet beneficiaries are not helping in this matter by not giving their best advice to Mr President because of greed and selfish gains as usual.

As a humane and responsible Nigerian, I make this humble assertion as my little token to rescue our dear president from avoidable serious disaster. Life is God-given, precious and has no duplicate. It must not be toyed with, it must not be given a form of trial and error approach. That Mr. President is severely sick is no longer a news but calls for all concerned by both religious and political classes, distinguished elites and other well-meaning Nigerians, to proffer a quick and urgent help-approach to salvage the situation of our ailing president.

Permit me to please speak to Baba, to as a matter of utmost wisdom, take his mind off from Aso Rock and surrender himself to the best hands for medical treatment ( as we pray for him) and avoid listening to politicians pretending to be doing him any good by not encouraging him to go for for the best option. PMB save your life first by focusing on your health. Remember that health is personal, and is not shared with you by any body. Also remember that the Nigerian quagmire is enormous, you can never be able to change everything about Nigeria, you have already tried your best. Nigeria will always sort out itself.

Your health is first, Nigeria is secondary. Please this is my humble and utmost concern and submission.

Regards
Unanimous Pastor.
