I have made a simple mouse coordinates recorder.
Code:

datax = {}
datay = {}
function start()
for i = 1, #datax do
setMousePos(datax[i],datay[i])
sleep(1)
end
datax = {}
datay = {}
end


t = createTimer()
t.setInterval(1)
t.OnTimer = function()
x,y = getMousePos()
y = tonumber(y)
x = tonumber(x)
table.insert(datax,x)
table.insert(datay,y)

if isKeyPressed(VK_M) then
t.destroy()
start()
end
end
but the start function gets executed much faster than it was saved. any help here??
timer interval is 1 milsec and there is also 1milsec sleep in the for loop

The resolution of timers is usually 10-16 milliseconds give or take. Setting the interval to one doesn't mean it'll execute every millisecond, just like sleeping for one millisecond doesn't mean it'll wake up in exactly a millisecond. Both will wait for at least one millisecond before continuing; however, the upper bound is never guaranteed (see scheduling).

Trying to update the mouse 1000 times per second is ridiculous. Do it for 10 times per second, and if that's not enough, increase it from there. Log the time the mouse position was recorded and use that to play it back (getTickCount; also see MS doc).
You may want to play it back in a separate thread so that CE's GUI doesn't become unresponsive.
