Yeah zx2's have and issue with cooling too much. If you live somewhere where its cold stick a piece of cardboard in front of the rad I have covered up to 95% of the rad in very cold weather an it has NEVER gone over 1/2 on the gauge. I usually have %40-%50 of the rad covered every day with no problems. (Its been in temps of up to ~+5°c so far with no issue) it helps get it up to and maintain normal operating temps which it better for it and theoretically will get better fuel milage.

Also managed to tear off my intake manifold & injector harness- which apparently needs to be rewired.... yet again---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---

ALSO if you ever have an issue where you have no fan control or AC, giggle the connector for the blower motor under the passengers dash, it'll be right at the front top part of the blower, apparently the plug likes to melt and fall off lol-Jack

My 2nd gen did the same thing at the blower connector. Went to the junk yard and grabbed a good pigtail and spliced it in, made sure it engaged nice and tight on all the connectors and filled the connectors with dielectric grease. No problems since then for me.
Its obviously just a poor contact/high resistance problem, and once it starts building carbon on the contacts, it just gets worse.92 Mazda MX3 GS> For sale, $1750 OBO

I honestly think that's how the 3rd gens are with their HVAC system lol, it always kicked the compressor on in any setting other than the floor, or "off" obviously lol.
Could have been an issue with this specific HVAC, but I remember reading the manual about the AC system and floor was the only setting it didn't activate iirc.-Jack

Also on the subject of the connector, I would highly recommend putting some dielectric grease in there as a preventive measure to keep it from corroding.

And it will turn your water pump slower as well which may help with the overcooling. I would suggest a odp for the alt. If you put a real small one on the crank. I'm running the smallest UDP there is (made by a teamzx2 member(power) aka a "power pully" ) which is ridiculously small and with a odp on the alt it is just barely enough to keep charging at idle. But a reg UDP shouldn't be a problem.

I just wish Powder would do another group buy. Right now the only way to get one is buy a used one, and I don't want to do that. If he doesn't do one soon, I'm going to have to buy either an esslinger, or massive speed one. But I'd much rather have the powder pulley because it's so small.My family has lots of bg's!
