Over Heat problem with the 4 speed auto :(
hi guys,coz i always go to play mountions with my friends, and did go to track once, but i found out a same problem, after i use the same gear for a while, like the 2nd gear for couples of conners with high rpm about some mins, the red coolen light will be on, but the problem is not from the coolen, coz the coolen temp stay normal, so i'm confused about what happened, is the engine oil too hot? or the tranny oil too hot? or anything else?coz i didnt care abt it when i was playing on the track, after couple rounds, it will shut down my gas around 5000 rpm, wont let me go, untill the light is out
anyone has the same problem? plzzzz help

If your going to replace your coolant, do not use the Mazda Pre Mix. It has to high an antifreeze mixture. Antifreeze 60/40 water. It will work great for not allowing your engine to freeze, but it wont give you adequate cooling properties in the summer. Install 70% distilled water and 30 % antifreeze.

i did replace new racing coolant and also the racing oil before track day, but still having the same problem...so may be i can try the coolant cap??where can i get the cap??
but the weird thing is the coolant temp is normal shows in the car, that's what i confuse

The coolant warning light come out in most situation was due to sensor (located in accessory tank) malfunction. This condition was very popular here (Taiwan)
The only soution is change it

Unless your in a very cold climate, I'd try and mixture of water wetter, distilled water and anti-freeze. Water overall cools better but you'll want the anti-freeze to extend the freezing point as well as provide protection against rust.
As Easy pointed out, the Mazda mixture is pretty heavy on anti-freeze which I think is good to -40 degrees F?

Yep, I'd make an appointment to have it replaced under warranty. The sensor only comes with a new coolant tank so they have to replace the whole thing. This includes draining your whole coolant system.

i went to the willow spring track,it was fun, but the over heat problem made me so sad...
did it happen to your 6MT?
my car get over heat even on the angles crest, i dont know is the sensor not working or what, coz the coolant temp level stay the same( normal temp), but the coolant light will on after i rev high and full gas some mins...that what confuse me...
i got the racing coolant from my friend's tuning shop,got it changed for aroound $80 - with the coolant, if you want , i can give you the number, his name is (大佬B),we go to the track with him,drives a EVO,that coolant his said can lower around 10"C, is pretty good

It was not the cap !
Got the new cap on but the issue is still present (intermittent issue - only when driven at high RPM for few minutes). Next suspects would be sticky thermostat (but temp seems OK when that light occurs) or the sensor/connector itself. Still have the extended warranty but not sure the coolant tank is part of it...
If the cap is weak, coolant level will slowly go down as vapors escape. Stant has a correct replacement cap if anybody needs one ($8 at PepBoys).

i heard changing cap can cure the problem/avoid coolant leak from the cap
but i think only aftermarket cap that can stand higher pressure can do this
aftermarket(greddy/hks) > stock > pepboys
this is just what i thought, correct me if i am wrong

Partially correct - but Stant is aftermarket. Also, it is 1.3 and the stock is 1.1, so it would resist better the pressure. The racing ones are 1.6 but I would change coolant hoses and clamps before going so high - better vent the steam through the cap than to blow a hose. I did extend the coolant waste tubing all the way to under the car, just in case.

do you mind telling me the brand of the racing coolant
actually, i need to do some more research before decide what to put in my car
