Well i changed my pressure cap to the factory standards 13 lbs and changed the hoses and flushed the system. After 30-20 mins in to driving the temperature starts climbing, i pull over and check and my overflow tank is full and squirting out. I have the 1987 Rx7 GXL version and it has two caps? One on the thermostat housing and the other is near the overflow bottle.Theyre both 13lbs or they both say 0.9. And the overflow hose goes into the radiator directly not on the thermostat housing. Please help me!!

 

try replacing the t-stat to 160degree...
flushing the radiator
or even check the cltch fan....

 

touch the top and bottom hoes if they feel like different temps. this the thermostat.....

 

yea that 2 fan

 

the two hoses feel the same. so it might be the fan??

 

yea then it should be the fan or the water pump

 

i changed my water pump, but how could it be the fan? it seems to be working fine, it still has resistance

 

did you just change the water pump or did you replace that little gasket in the back too

 

i changed both gasket and water pump the coolant from the overflow tank is not going back to the radiator thats my problem

 

just eliminate the t-stat completely...

 

so replace it with another one?

 

just take it off and see what happens...

 

nah im good ill just try to find a way

 

yeah....





































SELLLL ITTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

are you looking coolant or smoking? sounds like you just have a dying motor. If your temperature starts to go over half stop already! Don't wait for it to god damn over heat and spit coolant. Your destroying your motor if it isn't already dying.

 

no im not leaking any coolant, its after i drive it all my coolant goes in the overflow tank and doesnt go back for some reason.

 

radiator clogged? i dunno im just shooting ideas

 

HOLY NOOBS BATMAN.........search BLOWN COOLANT SEALS.....most common reason for killing rotaries....UGH...sorry bro, start looking for a motor or a rebuilder IMO.

 

Yeah kinda sounds like coolant seals...
There's plenty of shops in CA though...there's a thread stickied in this forum. If it is the coolant seal you're looking at $1000-$3000...tons of factors involved.

 

Overheating at stop and go traffic?

overheating at freeway speed?

my crystal ball gave me a preview of a large lot filled with cars on jack stands.

 

dident know you were a witch wacky...did you try bleeding the air out of the system..might be an air pocket.

:AA:

 

it helps me see the future, future junk car that is

 

my psychic powers tells me that she has big big water issues in the trunk need to drill big holes to drain out fluid.

 

it almost overheats like going 45 on the streets. maybe around 30-20 mins into driving

 

Stop driving it then. Your going to make it worse if you don't fix the problem.
