How does the thermostat work on a Mazda Protege?
The Thermostat controls the flow of coolant through the engine and the radiator. The temp gauge reads the temp of the coolant. WHen you get no heat OR get no reading on the temp gauge…this means that you have an air pocket surrounding the temp gauge sensor…i.e. it will be in air…instead of submerged in coolant.
What causes the Mazda Protege engine to overheat?
In summary: Although not 100% correlated, going faster than 55mph seems to trigger the engine overheating, at which point the rattling noise appears and the coolant begins to bubble its way back up the reservoir (like it’s boiling?!).
What kind of car is a Mazda Protege?
I drive a 2002 Mazda Protege and it’s been great to me until this past weekend. I had a 4.5-5 hour trip ahead of me and Google Maps told me a more direct route (i.e. not using the interstates) would save time. It must have erroneously assumed that the highway comprising basically the entire trip would be speed limit 55-65 the entire way.
What should the pressure be on a radiator?
If the pressure goes up 15 psi we add 45 degrees. We have now increased the boiling point to 257 instead of 212 degrees and we can cook much faster. A coolant mixture of 50% water and 50% ethylene glycol has a boiling point of 223 degrees.
How to tell what my radiator coolant capacity is?
Most radiator capacities vary from 11 qts. to 28 qts. for most vehicles. Fill the radiator until the water level reaches the expansion tank piping. When finished, tally up the result. Drain the water from the radiator.
How much water can you put in a radiator?
Record each quart added into the radiator. Most radiator capacities vary from 11 qts. to 28 qts. for most vehicles. Fill the radiator until the water level reaches the expansion tank piping. When finished, tally up the result. Drain the water from the radiator.

What happens when you lose coolant in a radiator?
The loss of coolant would eventually fill the radiator with air and the temperature would rise even higher. Remember, none of the above running temperatures have anything to do with the cap rating. They are simply conditions of the cooling systems capability, the ambient air temperature, and air flow.
What kind of radiators have 3 row core?
