Best Answer

Overheating can come from many causes: Low radiator coolant, broken fan thermostat, broken fan, low oil, worn-out water pump, too much grime on the engine, or clogs in the coolent or oil system. If your Protege is turbo-charged, you may want to check that system as well. Aftermarket items added to increase engine power can also cause overheating if the oil and coolent systems aren't also upgraded.

Why is your alternator belt continuing to break and snap on your 97 Mazda Protege?

I am having the same problem with a 99 Protege. I have changed the alternator and aligned/cleaned the pulleys and the problem persists.I replaced the alternator, on my 1997 Mazda Protege, seven times before someone figured out why the serpentine belt kept breaking. It was the belt tensioner! It had to be removed and rebuilt. Now it is working like a charm!! And I havn't had to replace the alternator in over 3 months!!!!
