exhaust temp alarm
The exhaust high temp alarm is going off in my car, but it starts as soon as i start the car even when the car is cold like first thing in the morning. Any one have any ideas? Thanks

Maybe the sensor's wiring is shorting against the chassis? I think it's located toward the rear in a coupe, in the floor.

I can't find the sensor, and the damn noise is about to make me drive the car off a cliff

See this thread: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/exhaust-temp-sensor-471768/. The sensor is under the passenger seat, above the main cat.
