What should the temperature be on a Miata?
At about 210°-220°F, it will sit at the 12 oclock position. At 230°F, you can see the gauge start to move to the 1/2 oclock position. Many here will probably never see it move, but if it does, be sure you stop and cool the car.
Why does my Miata not have a cooling system?
If your fans aren’t working, you’ll overheat. Period. Check under the hood and see if the fan on the driver’s side is running after the engine gets good and hot. If not, you have an electrical problem. It may be as simple as a fuse or an unplugged connector. Or it could be a bad sensor or broken wiring.
What’s the normal operating temperature of a Mazda engine?
All the cars I’ve owned would run between 85 and 95 degrees Celsius. 85 at highway speeds, then creeping up to 95 or 96 when in slow traffic, at which point the fans kick in. Pro tip: the hotter an engine runs, the more efficiently it burns evil hydrocarbons.
Is the water thermosensor on a 1990 Miata?
The 1990 FWM is written as though the Water Thermosensor is the temperature gauge sensor, which it is not. There is no data on the actual gauge sensor, although the manual spec on the gauge itself states that the gauge should point to ÒHÓ for a resistance to chassis ground of 20 ohms (18 ohms for Canadian cars).

Where does the cooling needle go on a Miata?
It’s just that between 180°-210°F, it will stick to that 11AM position. If you ever climb over 210°F, you will notice the needle will climb up slowly. At about 210°-220°F, it will sit at the 12 oclock position. At 230°F, you can see the gauge start to move to the 1/2 oclock position.
What does warm engine mean on Mazda Miata?
With a warm engine and above 4000 rpm the acceleration seemed normal. A warm engine is indicated by the O2 sensor sensing a warm exhaust manifold. The troubleshooting I’ve done here is specific to a 1.8L 1995 Miata, you may apply what I’ve done here for your application.

What was the name of the 1999 Mazda Miata?
We are pleased to offer this 1999 Mazda Miata Convertible for purchase. Also known as the MX-5 (short for Mazda Experiment project #5), the idea was to fill a void that used to be dominated by small fun to drive British & Italian roadsters. The 2nd generation built off the great success of the predecessors.
