water level sensor or air in the system?
So my issue is that at high rpm for any extended period my coolant light will come on, it seems temp independent and goes away if i clutch in and let it spin at low rpms few a sec. Would this be air in the coolant ? Ive tried bleeding the car, ive raise the front in and open the cap to bleed it out with no luck, turned on the heat to let possible air out of the heater core.
I know the sensors go bad sometimes but that wouldnt depend on rpm would it ?

Well I may have the answer..not sure. Not any coolant problems and I thought I needed more..the coolant tank was full but looked like it could use a little more..Then the next day at high RPM's the light would come on..but when i slowed down off the interstate it would go out. Coolant tank very full now. I drained some back to the level it was at before.. it only came on for a brief moment this time. Going to drain a little more and see. Like I said it never came on until I touched the damn coolant level. I should have left well-enough alone ya know?
I used a syringe to drain it..stick it down in the hole and suck what I needed out. Did this about 6 syringes full and is much better so far. If it happens again going to try a new tank cap first..then move on from there.

it makes me paranoid at times, and after abusive driving it tends to come on ~_~, guess ill unplug the sensor for now, tank is no where near empty so i am just going to guess a crazy sensor
