Is the smoke coming out the exhaust pipe or from under the car?
If its coming from under the car there could be something like oil getting on it.
If its coming out the exhaust pipe you have engine problems and you should first check the oil level on the dip stick before your next oil change to see how bad its using oil.
The O2 sensor on a 1992 Mazda Miata is located on the exhaust manifold, just before the catalytic converter. It's positioned on the top side of the exhaust system, making it accessible from the engine bay. If you are looking for the rear O2 sensor, it can be found on the exhaust pipe after the catalytic converter.

Yes, a 1994 Mazda Miata typically has two oxygen (O2) sensors: one located before the catalytic converter (upstream) and another located after it (downstream). The upstream sensor monitors the air-fuel mixture to optimize engine performance, while the downstream sensor checks the efficiency of the catalytic converter. This setup helps ensure proper emissions control and engine efficiency.
It is in the exhaust pipe between the header and the catalytic converter. That is, it is downstream from the header, and upstream from the catalytic converter. The first O2 sensor is located under the hood on the driver's side. It is located in the exhaust pipe between the header and the catalytic converter. The second O2 sensor is located in the exhaust pipe between the catalytic converter and the muffler. The wire runs up through the floor board where the connector is located under the carpet under the driver's seat.
In 1999-2000, Mazda designed 2 exhaust versions.The most common version is the Federal-spec Miata. This exhaust system has the typical, single catalytic converter with an O2 sensor before and after it.The front O2 sensor is before the catalytic convertor and can be seen by removing the driver's side wheel.The rear O2 sensor will be just after the catalytic converter, at the 12 o'clock position between the rear wheels.The California-spec Miata had a precatalytic converter directly installed on the exhaust manifold/header, as well as the standard catalytic converter running the length of the engine.You will find the first O2 sensor directly on the header, just above the pre-cat. It is easily seen from the driver's side of the engine bay.The second O2 sensor is found just below the pre-cat, but before the main catalytic converter. It is easily seen by removing the driver's side wheel.

Yes, a clogged catalytic converter can cause a 1992 Miata to run hot. When the exhaust flow is restricted due to a blockage, it can lead to increased back pressure in the engine, which can cause the engine to overheat. Additionally, the engine may struggle to expel exhaust gases, further contributing to heat buildup. It's important to address any issues with the catalytic converter to maintain optimal engine performance and prevent overheating.
