The OP thought it was "stupid" to have to read links and increase his post count. Must have missed the "stupid" one that mentioned making the post understandable on some level.

No idea what this kid just (tried) to write. I can't decide which is the more appropriate quote for this situation: "God have mercy on your soul" from Billy Madison or "English, MF'er. Do you understand it?" from Pulp Fiction.

Please try again with clarity.

Clarification

Thanks for all the replies. Sorry if I wasn't clear. To rephrase, I have a 1993 Mazda RX-7 LS1 swapped motor. There are a lot of electrical issues. The coolant light is on although everything seems to be in working order. Do you have any tips on what is going on?

*Make sure the coolant level is good, including the overflow level.
*Find out where the coolant level sensor is on an LS1. Check it for continuity.
*If it's connected properly, check it against any specifications in the GM manual or replace it.

Wow, no I don't have any suggestions because it depends entirely on the way it was wired.

Run an aftermarket temp gauge to see where your temp is sitting top off all of your fluids, Oil also.
