If there is a service engine soon light on, then there are codes that need to be read off of the computer. One can get an obd-ii scanner for under $100 at Sears or walmart or get Advance Auto Parts or Autozone to scan for free.

On the second question, check that the heater core is getting hot on both tubes at the firewall (heater hoses 1").
If not, then the system needs flushed or the heater core will have to be replaced.
If they are getting hot, then there is a blend door problem.

Why does my service engine soon light come on when the car is working properly but not when it doesn't?

The light is in test mode when you start, so you can check the bulb is working. The light has nothing to do with whether you stall it only estimates whether you need a service based on time, number of starts (and probably some other parameters - perhaps someone else knows what they are).

New Century - DashBoard Problems

My 1999 Buick Regal was doing the same sort of thing. Randomly the gauges would go crazy and then the engine would shut down. I ended up replacing the ignition switch. Not exactly where the key goes in, but the switch box behind it on the inside of the column. I had to take off the steering wheel, air bag and everything, but it hasn't had any problems like that since.
