Put back in the thermostat, but make sure you purchase a OEM thermostat from Mazda. I found out my RX-7 did not have a thermostat. Now that I put one in, the car warms up faster and idles like it should.

yeah without a thermostat actually makes the engine more prone to heat problems than with one.
See without a thermostat the coolant flows too fast to absorb the heat that it is supposed too, so you end up with hot spots and other issues.
