The Dash light 'Heat' has come on and the car is missing 1992 Mazda Revue Autozam 1500cc. What could this problem be?

Answer:

"Heat" Warning Light

I'm not familiar or experienced with your vehicle, but I suspect that it is warning you that something is wrong with the engine cooling system, and the engine is overheating.

This is not good. As soon as possible have someone who knows what he/she is doing to check out your vehicle's engine cooling system!!!!!

The fact that the engine is missing indicates the the engine temperature is WAY too high, and to continue to run the engine will result in RUINING THE ENGINE!!!!!

When i checked it out in day light, it was actually two separate problems. 1. One spark plug lead had come loose on the distribitor causing the missing. 2. The Heat problem was a faulty sensor on the Catalytic converter on the exhaust.

Unplug the sensor and the light will go off if it is.
