Is the 92 and FD or a late FC?
Did you check the spark plugs,housings for any coolant.
Did you compression test the engine yet?

Yes I have checked y plugs they are all good, my coolant light does come on, but I haven't checked the hose. And no I didn't get a compression test done.

If this is an FD, you've over-heated. The stock sensor isn't linear. So if it moves at all beyond the 9:00 o'clock position, it's bad. If you have spark and fuel, do a compression test.
