I don't think that this is the solution, becouse the query:

SELECT
  _CON.con_id,
  _MOD.mod_ty,
  _CON.dri_id,
  _CON.man_cod,
  _ENG.eng_pow
FROM
  db_data.mda_mod _MOD,
  db_data.mda_mod_con _CON,
  db_data.mda_mak_eng _ENG,
  db_data.set_mda_fue _FUE
WHERE
  _MOD.mod_id = '283' AND
  _CON.mod_id = _MOD.mod_id AND
  _CON.psd <= NOW() AND
  _CON.ped > NOW() AND
  _ENG.eng_id = _CON.eng_id AND
  _ENG.eng_fue = _FUE.fue_id

...is working fine. I belive that this some problem with LEFT JOIN and
FROM statement. If I will rewrite this query:

SELECT
  _CON.con_id,
  _MOD.mod_ty,
  _VER.version,
  _YEA.year,
  _CON.dri_id,
  _CON.man_cod,
  _ENG.eng_pow
FROM
  db_data.mda_mod _MOD
  JOIN db_data.mda_mod_con _CON ON _CON.mod_id = _MOD.mod_id AND
_CON.psd <= NOW() AND _CON.ped > NOW()
  JOIN db_data.mda_mak_eng _ENG ON _ENG.eng_id = _CON.eng_id
  JOIN db_data.set_mda_fue _FUE ON _ENG.eng_fue = _FUE.fue_id
  LEFT JOIN db_data.mda_mod_ver _VER ON _VER.ver_id = _CON.ver_id
  LEFT JOIN db_data.mda_mod_yea _YEA ON _YEA.yea_id = _CON.yea_id 
WHERE
  _MOD.mod_id = '283'


... It also working fine. !!!! The question is, why my first query isn't
working:

SELECT
  _CON.con_id,
  _MOD.mod_ty,
  _VER.version,
  _YEA.year,
  _CON.dri_id,
  _CON.man_cod,
  _ENG.eng_pow
FROM
  db_data.mda_mod _MOD,
  db_data.mda_mod_con _CON,
  db_data.mda_mak_eng _ENG,
  db_data.set_mda_fue _FUE
  LEFT JOIN db_data.mda_mod_ver _VER ON _VER.ver_id = _CON.ver_id
  LEFT JOIN db_data.mda_mod_yea _YEA ON _YEA.yea_id = _CON.yea_id 
WHERE
  _MOD.mod_id = '283' AND
  _CON.mod_id = _MOD.mod_id AND
  _CON.psd <= NOW() AND
  _CON.ped > NOW() AND
  _ENG.eng_id = _CON.eng_id AND
  _ENG.eng_fue = _FUE.fue_id
