ok i just bought my 89 convertable 3 days ago....it has 98000 miles on it.....great condition....i know a lot about cars and a bit about rotary....today i was driving and the add coolant light came on with and annoying buzz....i know overheating is death to rotary so i pulled off to the side of the road and checked coolant levels...to my suprise the resovoir was full to the top and the coolant was cold so i was like hmmm...how about the radiator it was cold and full of coolant and pressure.....hasnt overheated and the engine temp is fine and at 1/2 way....any clue anyone?

 

very likely there is air in the system, try to let the car run without the cap on (after it's cooled down obviously) and fill it up while it's running, this helps get the air out.

 

thanks the only real confusion was normal operating temp but the coolant was cold to touch. i will try that and i should have no more problems with this car....by the way ive had this thing 3 days and im already in love and about to dump my gf lol j/k shes hot

 

tell me if i got a good deal on this car also everyone .........89 vert, 98k miles, almost perfect body, needs tune up and fuel system cleaning, convertalbe top motor doesnt work (i need one if you have one) and the antenna is broken lol.... $3150

 

Sounds like a good deal to me.. i have an 88 gxl..Not a vert but i got mine for 1,800 with 121 k..from a private seller though
