Coolant light at high rpm's
When I'm driving my car seems fine but when i hit about 6000 rpm or drive for about 20-30 min my coolant light will turn on even if the coolant resivour is full. My car still seems to run okay but I'm still not sure why it is coming on so if anyone has had the same problem i could use some advice on what it could be?

There's a TSB for the sensor going bad. If the level is fine it's most likely just that. Mine's been doing it for over a year & is fine. I just don't feel like buying the whole coolant reservoir, because the sensor doesn't come separate.

Just get a new coolant reservoir. I did, but haven't installed yet. Do it so that you can trust the warning light.
Whatever you do, don't tape it over with black tape. Because even if you were to check your radiator level before every ride, you still could run over a rock or something and experience sudden coolant loss. Only your warning light would alert you.

Flies in the face of New Yorker's warning, but if I were risk-averse I would have bought another Honda. I do concur with his advice to not cover it with tape...that would look icky.

i want to get mine replaced.... but i dont want mazda finding out about my mods.
whenever the light comes on i just take it out of gear and coast for 1-3 seconds and it goes away. I imagine if there was a bigger problem the light would stay on for longer and i would pull off of the road.

You can pull the plug. It's right on top, easy to get to, and you can pull it halfway up so it's disconnected but still in its hole and not flopping around loose. I did that with mine, and it hasn't come on since.

How often do you look under the hood? Check it at the same time you look at your oil dip-stick!

What's your engine worth to you? I would hope more than $120. If your coolant does suddenly run out, and you don't know, your engine will be shot. Best to know if things get low, than to just hope day to day nothing happens. You bought a car that is relatively high maintenance. Take care of it, and it will take care of you.
