Hey guys if anyone could help me out that would be awesome my rx7 add coolant like keeps turning on randomly and when it does the car starts to over heat can anyone help me out here?
It's an 88 Rx7 N/A.

 

welcome to the board.

let's start with the obvious. are you coolant levels in the radiator and reservoir up to adequate levels?

 

Welcome if your having the same problem as me then you may have a leak somewhere around the engine find signs of any leaking.

I can't be of much help though im still learning but thought I would say that much xD

 

Yea I actually did fill it back up with anti freeze I pulled thermostat looked like crap I replaced it and still overheats? Car also has electric fan with toggle switch so fan is always on

 

Ill definitely check the motor right now see what I find.

 

is it overheating at idle or only when driven?

check the cap and see what rating it has and also if the system is actually holding that pressure.

actually check the new thermostat and confirm that it is opening.

are you getting any smoke/steam out the exhaust?

how often do you have to refill the system?

 

the idiot lights are pos's mine turns on all different lights when nothing is even wrong, saying add coolant when its full lol.

yours muat be actually working tho if it is low and overheating (makes sense)

Rotary > Pistons

 

I recently just filled it with antifreeze seemed like it was just water in the system and it overheats at idle when driving its fine I think my electric fan isn't big enough to cool the motor I'm gonna replace the water pump just to be safe. The cap is holding pressure and I did my best to get all air out system and seems to run better.

 

Are u running a fmic or top mount? I always liked the stock fan, cools well.

Rotary > Pistons

 

yes. I would suspect the aftermarket fan is where your main issue lies.

 

he's got an 87 N/A so not applicable.

Post pics of your engine bay,especially the things around the rad location.

Leaks?.got any?..dripping?..
Checked any of that yet?

If you are overheating or losing coolant then you should find out WHY you are losing coolant as it just doesn't drink it like it was Gatorade.

 

I'm running a front mount it a single 12 inch fan im wondering if maybe the fan isn't big enough to cool the motor I haven't had the add coolant light sense I flushed it. And no I don't got any leaks at all.
