Issues with my '86 Rx7 can you help?

hi

Issues

1) the coolant buzzer will not shut up since i have checked all the fluids and it doesnt leak because ive checked many many times after the buzzer bsides the water that comes out the vent since i over filled it... whats the easiest way to bleed the system of air bubbles ?

2) when the car has not been running for more than about 20 mins in the cold weather..and my foot gets heavy it tends to puff a little white smoke i occasionally get it at start up when cold and it has no scent of coolant at all... is my car running rich or just cold...how can i fix it if it is running rich?

3) Can i put one of those shiny intake things with a filter on my car without sacraficing performance.... and are they just for looks anyways?

Thanks for your time

-Ivan

1) Ground the wire that's on top of the radiator.
2) Normal for any car to have a little white smoke from the exhaust when cold.
3) Not answering that.

1.The best way to bleed your system is remove the radiator cap, turn your heat all the way up run your car with the heat system on so the coolant will get into your heater core, the air should escape through where the radiator cap is.
2. There should be a small amount of white smoke while the car is running closed loop on start up until it warms up and the oxygen sensors take over.
3. If you are talking about a air filter system then you should gain some extra horsepower, and even maybe a small amount of MPGs.

1)idk
2) its normal, I asked the same question awhile ago
3) it gives a little bit of performance, I Just went cheap and just put a cone filter over the intake. Just because there are no good CAI or SRI for the fc that i know of.
