I bet this solves it. We had a cold air blowing heater (in a Nissan in fact) and it was the thermostat.
I once had Jetta that would vapor lock and the hot engine light and buzzer would come on. Drove it across the nation that way. It only vapor locked once, outside of Grand Junction. Eventually, a new fuel pump solved the vapor locking, but the hot engine light and buzzer continued to come on. Beating the dashboard was the only solution I found. I was born in Idaho.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
