I just remove the 3 nuts up front. Pulled the exhaust down and was able to maneuver the alternator out.

Good deal.

This is an 01 Manual

Unless you have the Imobilizer system than extra heffy bill to get a key and programed.

Since it's been a couple years since I did the front mount on mine I can't remember exactly what it looks like. Maybe weld a nut on the circular part?

Is the circular part spinning? If so sounds like the weld has broken from the bracket? If not, either the bolt is stripped or the circular part.

Just curious if you removed the front pipe or just loosened it up?

The through bolt should have a nut on the end that has to be held. You also need to jack up the engine a little to take the weight off the mount. Use a block of wood for protection. And you didn't give the year or engine type?

Shop Manuals

Do you have a workshop manual? This is 98 but same for 99. http://www.pmx626.info/US/Mazda 626 & MX-6/Work Shop Manuals/PDF/1998 US Workshop Manual.pdf

Have you tried another key? Your's could be worn out. Sounds like ignition lock cylinder. But they are pricey!!

Here's a workshop manual for a 98, it's the same for your 99. Manual

Well usually black smoke is oil...But white is coolant/water. So I wouldn't suspect seals.

1157 front 1156 rear. Or what is stamped on the old bulb.

That looks like a "heat shield hose" over another hose. Shouldn't be clamped. Look along your firewall where the heater hoses connect to the heater core piping coming out of the firewall.

Doubtful.

You didn't post your year. Sounds like throttle body coolant hose. Search this forum. Lots of threads. https://www.google.com/search?q=626+throttle+body+coolant+hose+site:mazda626.net&rlz=1C1CHBD_enUS724US724&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjZ76r9v4veAhUH4oMKHTXqAC4QrQIoBDAPegQICBAN&biw=1366&bih=664
