    Read a few instances of this happening on a couple of Mazda 3s and an NB. Replacing the clutch switch (not the interlock switch) solved the issue.
    Yea, I'd lean more towards Kung Fu's answer because it is happening in other Mazdas AND he is more familar with these than I am.

    Check engine light issue

    Never owned an NC. Search that engine code and Mazda Miata on Google and start reading.

    You have the engine code, you have the make, model and engine. Google that and you will see alot of items show up in different message boards. Start reading through them. When you start finding similar issues, look for the solutions, if they bothered to post them up. It narrows down your options for solving the problem rather than just throwing parts at it. Or, just leave it at the dealership and let them milk off you.
