Each solenoid gets one black/white wire and lo and behold, the other wire is blue/red, blue/black, blue/white etc. Never noticed each one was a basic blue with a diffent stripe. Answer: Yes

That's what I figured. So far I've got the oil level sensor, air temp sensor, and alternator plugged wired back up. I've about got the fuel injectors done too. Any idea where I can get a clip that will plug into the water thermo sensor?

Not many choices there, I'm afraid. You can cut one out of another harness, buy one from Mazda at whatever insane price, or get some pins appropriately sized and do some soldering and make a plug out of epoxy or something.

Others, am I missing another option?

That's what I was thinking too is trying to get one off another harness. Guess I'll post up a thing on the FS section.

Good news guys. I got the old one out and the new one in. Surprisingly, the old one came out insanely easy. It was snapped off in the threads, and all I had to do was hit it with a punch and hammer once to make a small slit in it and it screwed right out. Using the picture that was posted before, I looked to make sure how tight it had to be screwed in, and I put a little bit of thread sealant on it just to make sure I wasn't going to have leaks around it. Now all I'm waiting for is the new plug to come in for it so I can wire it in. Now I have a little harder question. Which prong on the sensor is the ground?

It does not matter at all which pin gets which wire on THAT item.

Alright, thanks HAILERS. Once the plug comes in I can wire it up and be ready to plug it in. Thanks for all your help on this situation guys, I've got things all figured out now.
