This morning when I was going to work I noticed my water heating gague went to the top of the peg. I hadn't driven during the weekend. I continued to drive it and the temperature came back to the normal position. This has happend a couple of times. I know I need a new fan cluch. This only happens in the morning and never in the evening.

I thought it might be a stuck thermostat.

Any thoughts?

 

I have no idea. But i would get it looked at ASAP. Overheating (if it really is) and Rotary engines == bad.

 

get a aftermarket temp gauge the stock ones suck mine said it was running cool untill I was parked on the side of the road with steam puoring out of the hood. the firts thing I would do Is put a new thermostat in but get a mazda one there the only ones I would trust

 

Try replacing both fan clutch and thermostat,better to be safe than sorry.
