Could be a faulty thermostat, an internal head gasket leak, low coolant level, or a coolant temperature sensor acting up. Need more information to solve this one. Have a mechanic pressure-test the cooling system to see if it holds pressure. I have seen overheating from a problem as simple as old anti-freeze or a radiator cap that no longer holds pressure.

I have a 1998 Mazda Millenia too. Its overheating and we cant figure out why. Trying to find info on thermostat location / replacement seems next to impossible online - any suggestions? There is def coolant - it heats up and spews it out, so we keep having to replace it. I had my coolant flushed about a month ago - they didnt report any leaks. any help would be most appreciated.

check your cooling fan relay switch... under the hood, near the fuze box... there are 2 there... 1 is engine... 1 is cooling fan... I had the same problem and replaced half the cooling system before i checked the electrical side.

I have a 97 Mazda millenia. It overheated on me on the way to work and cut out on me. I made it to work a little late after I let it cool for a little while. I noticed that the nipple on the reservoir was busted and leaked all the coolant out. So I replaced the reservoir and noticed that the nipple on the radiator was also busted. So I replaced the radiator and added more coolant. It ran fine for a day and I noticed that my car was starting to get hot again and it started smoking again and it started to smell bad. Does anyone know what the problem could be? I'm kinda limited on cash so anything cheap that will solve the problem would be greatly appreciated.
