is my motor blown?
i have a 93 the other day i was driving and the little red light started beeping saying to add coolant.So today i tapped off the antifreeze,started it up and the idle was stuck at 2500 rpm, blowing smoke and then i notice the temp was about a hair away from HOT.so i shut it down.any ideas?or have similar problems?

it could be a number of things, check your thermostat to see if that's within tolerance
your AWS could be goin haywire, i think there is a relay for that.....
another great thing to do is to unplug your battery for like 5 mins, this will reset everything in the ECU which sometimes seems to cure problems in FDs

I do not recommend EVER bringing your car to mazda. They probably screwed something up, it's not coincidence that your car is now overheating.
Where in NY are you? If you're close to clifton in northern nj, you should look into bringing your FD to rotary experiment seven here on the forum. Shoot him a PM, he'll get your car running like new
