hello, my 4ag 1.6 FWD normal driving and the temp meter up to halfway and stay no change. I try take out the thermostat and let the fan running at the time but the needle also going to halfway. I thinks it will too hot for my car cause very hot weather here. Is there any way to do to make it down?? And also the water outlet blocked and have 2 wire plug there. Does it block the water out cause these?

does it use water?
Have you tried flushing the radiator?
removing the thermostat isn't a good idea, put a new one back in, they run them standard and don't get hot, so your problem
lied elsewhere.
What do your radiator fins look like?
is the ignition timing retarded?
etc..

Sounds liek EXCATLY the reason for my old Skyline
I replaced:
Radiator
Thermal Stat (which i later removed fullY)
hosing
Water pump
and the last thing which was the CLUTCH fan .... that was the problem that caused it... So i'm not too familar with 4AG/AC engines.... but if a clutchfan is involved, then i'll be looking at buying a new clutch for the fan.
Thats my 2 cents

unless the radiators mounted like a mini it'll only have electric fans.
