Have any of you ever actually been able to get this light to turn on in your first gens? I mean, I know rotaries burn hot, but seriously, how do you overheat an exhaust system? I don't see it come oneven when autocrossing, so I imagine it has to be VERY hot to do so.

 

usually when your cats are clogged.

 

ahh I don't have cats, so that explains it haha.

 

it came on once for me but i guess that was just a backfire... i have since removed the cats

 

what i want to know is the stop lamp.. is that telling you that you are stopping?

 

haha that one means your break lights aren't coming on. Either from a bad bulb, or faulty connections. If your foot is on the pedal, and the circuit isn't complete, it comes on.

 

I think the most common cause of exhaust overheating is due to retarded timing. Worth a check...

oh ok my friend's one goes on mine doesn't. i have stock timing

 

I had my overheated exhaust light come on right before I heard what sounded like a 12ga shotgun blast. LOL
