BHR coil/wire failure

That's why it's so hard for me to explain...If you could imagine hearing a misfire, that's what the sound my car is making would sound like.
So don't ask me a question trying to imply what I'm saying is stupid.
Picture it like a neurotransmitter trying to send a signal that isn't quite getting through...So it startings firing more signals until it finally succeeds...Now translate that into a sound...There you go.
I'm pretty sure I know my car well enough to know when something isn't right.

If you don't have anything helpful to say, don't say anything.

The coolant pressure system brings me to another problem...My coolant keeps spraying out...It's been fine for the past couple of weeks, but every once in a while, it just gets all over the place and stains whatever it touches (like the new intake I just installed)...This has been going on since about June or July...I even replaced the overfill line and clogged the end with a vaccum cap as tightly as I could out of frustration, but it was no use...lol...womp, womp, womp...Blew the cap out and sprayed everything.
Sidenote: I'm not overfilling with coolant.
Sidenote # 2: I've also had the coolant problem checked twice...Once again, "there's nothing wrong".
To answer your question about resetting the sensor profiles and cleaning the ESS...No.

I'm gonna place my bet on a failing internal coolant seal. Have the cooling system pressure tested, if it is boiling over it is not fine. I would also get a compression test if you are still under warranty. I had similar symptoms and that is how my last Mazda reman died at 30,000 miles. Eventually the symptoms will get worse.

I did get a compression test actually...I mentioned it in one of my recent comments...I've actually had 2 done this year...Both came out great...My most recent compression test was done about a month ago.
I'm out of warranty...lol...Almost at 129k miles...My reman is just shy of 50k.

No problem, this is where my mazda reman ended up I did not rebuild it though, I had an 08' motor with 5k on it rebuilt. Pineapple took my Mazda reman as a core and it was determined that it was in fact a faulty coolant seal and that also the housing that were reused by mazda should not have been reused.

one thing you can do also--9k gave very good advice----pull a sparkplug before starting it to see if any coolant is on it, and a little more easy one--after the car is fully warmed---wait a minute then very carefully and with a big towel on top--remove the radiator cap---then crank the car up--if you see any bubbles in the coolant being formed--then you probably have a bad seal. This doesnt mean an automatically needed engine. Sometimes alumaseal will fix it.

^ Yep good advice also. My plugs were a little wet when cold, but what threw me off was no smoke from the burning coolant and the wetness on the plugs smelled like fuel, not coolant. According to Rob at Pineapple, just one trip above 220F can ruin factory coolant seals.

But the OP seems cool although I don't recall if we actually met at the Texas8 last year. But I think she would at least provide refreshments to anyone who assists.
