thermostat

my 3s hatchback(75k miles, so not too long on coolant for factory fill) a/c got warm for a second so i looked down at my gauges and noticed the temp was slightly high and moving up, slowly. turned the a/c off and it helped some, however it started going up again later. so i turn the heater on...

Good day everyone. I have a P5 with an overheating issue. The coolant boils over in the overflow tank when I put a load or go up steeper areas. When just idling I notice bubbles slowly creeping up. Someone had suggested to purge the system using the heater which I did and it still has been going...

So my check engine light came on on last Thursday so i went straight to autozone to see what code it was and it read Cylinder 2 misfire, and thermostat problem. So first thing I did was check my spark plugs, which the second one was a little lose in their and it was all black and charred up and...

Hey first post on here since i bought my P5. It is a 2002 with 145k miles. The a-hole I bought it from must have reset the ECU before I came to check it out because the day after I get it home it throws a CEL. I took it to Jiffy Lube and the hooked it up to a scanner. He didn't give me specific...

First Post here at Mazdas247 and its a bit depressing. So my wife and I purchased a 2003.5 mazdaspeed protege in December and the car is in seemingly perfect condition. About four months ago we were getting it inspected and as we are waiting in line, smoke starts pouring from the hood. We find...

Ok, so my car started overheating yesterday. I haven't noticed any leaks but yesterday on my way home from work the temp gauge rose and my coolant overflow tank began to release steam. To me that sounds like it would be a waterpump issue, but is it possible that it could just be the...

Realized there was hot air coming from my hood and fogging my windshield. Not smoke though. There was no smoke/smell/leakage. Stopped and popped the hood and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Realized the next day I dont think the radiator fans are running. So it hasn't "overheated" yet. But I...

My 96 Protege 1.5 Liter has been overheating for a while. We replaced the water pump and the thermostat. It still overheats, it doesn't make it all the way up to the H but it's always 3/4 of the way there. When the heater is on it doesn't overheat at all. What's next?

First of all, is this the right forum for a problem question? I have a 2004 Mazda 3i 2.0 Liter. Recently I found out that my t-stat was stuck open and it needed to be replaced thanks to my trusty "Check Engine Light". So I bought a new one special ordered from Auto Zone. My stepdad put in in...

Hi all, I am thinking of replacing the thermostat of my Mazda. The thing is that I recently changed my coolant and I do not really want to do this again. So the question - is it possible to change the thermostat without draining the coolant? Thanks, Konstantin
