Why when im on the higway and I hold the gas to the floor it heats up. Duh it is because im running it but is it suposed to go up past 3/4 on the gauge? I have my thermostat taken out could that cause the problem?

 

put your thermostat back in for god's sake

 

Yea, that might help a little bit..

 

taken from the Haynes Manual:

 

why take your thermostat out in the first place,,,is that a rice boy thing,,,10hp???

 

+20hp stoopid.....unfortuneately people think that it will run cooler this way because "coolant is flowing through my engine all the time"...



correct me if i'm wrong..but a rotary needs to be at a certain operating temperature is order to work correctly and be thermally efficient





ALWAYS use the OEM thermostat...do not use a **** "stant" replacement

 

i got it without one??? dont ask me and I am not a damn rice boy so dont mistake me for one again ! ! !



BTW isnt there a better thermostat that opens up cooler?

 

it needs a thermostat to block off the bypass port. the mazda oem stat is the best one to use

why the **** did you take it out?

 

Hello I did not take it out it was removed when i got it! Im going to put one back in but i wanted to know which one is the best to put back in. I also wanted t-o know that if I put in a fluidyne radiator will it help cool my engine alot better? It is more a reliablility issue than for performance I dont like to see my temp gauge go up like that it makes me nervous.
