It's not my ego that prompted me to reply to your nonsense. It's just my disdain for your kind.

Umm...no. The thermostat and the efficiency of the radiator, quoted by Ryan, are the MAIN INFLUENCES on the engine's normal operating temperature.Inodoro Pereyra wrote: So the thermostat has NO INFLUENCE whatsoever in the engine's normal operating temperature....
Probably. But what puzzles me is: what kind of malfunction (other than a thermostat stuck open, which was not the case) would cause a cooling system to over cool the engine like that? For what I can tell, Mazdas in general seem to have oversized cooling systems. Before that 3, I had a '91 Protege (B8) that I ran without the cooling fan, in Miami, for 3 years, and never had it overheat on me. But I'd never have such an extreme case before (or after, for what it's worth, and so far I've owned 4 Mazdas), or heard of anybody else having it.Ryan wrote:I'm just going to say that Inodoro, your cooling system must have been malfunctioning, because it doesn't make sense that you had more extreme results in less extreme weather.
Overcooling?Ryan wrote:Air bubble can cause exactly that, Inodoro, or a bad connector/sensor.
I think I know what you mean, would it be that the air bubble encapsulates the sensor, and it can't get an accurate read of the temperature? Sounds weird, but plausible.Ryan wrote:Some weird thing about the air sitting around the sensor... I don't know how it works, my mechanic explained it to me once, I suppose that doesn't make it fact.
Very plausible considering that part of the coolant system is the highest pointMrMazda92 wrote:I think I know what you mean, would it be that the air bubble encapsulates the sensor, and it can't get an accurate read of the temperature?
