Help!!! My 'new to me' '92 Miata won't start. Got it 2 weeks ago - drove it every day for 10 days, not a problem!!! Even lousier weather ( New Hampshire - 6 weeks of rain ) had me park it for 5 days - This AM, BEAUTIFUL morning - cranks, but won't start. Full tank o' gas. Battery WAS OK, but...

I have a '92 Miata that was purchased a few months ago and recently noticed that it was hesitating and misfiring. I had the spark plugs changed as well as the fuel filter. It is still shuddering, but there are times when the engine is calm and averything is running smoothly. Whenever, I think...

Hi, I bought this car used 2 years ago. It had been left out under a tree, and the drain line from the fuel filler well was clogged. Rain overflowed the well and went into the gas tank. The seller drained the tank, and got it going. I put some alcohol fuel treatment in it a couple of times...

I've had this vehicle trouble free since new. It now has 3 problems which seem to be related but 2 repair shops cannot figure out. -The engine check light flickers on after a couple of minutes driving then goes off. -The engine races after a couple of minutes at idle, then settles down again. -It's...

Hi. First time posting here. Howdy everyone. Bought a '93 Miata early last summer, with 124K miles. It's been sweet, the greatest car ever, in fact. I garage-parked her (unheated) at the end of October, and had her out in early December for a 15 minute reminder of summer, and again tonight. When...

Having left my '93's top up last summer, I now find the rear window zipper incredibly stubborn. Any ideas on what to use to make it slide smoothly? Other than WD-40, the 20th century's answer to 3-in-1 oil?

I walked outside a couple of weeks ago to discover that the headlights on my '94 Miata were in the "up" position. I'd assumed that a car prowler had hopped in (we keep it unlocked and don't keep anything inside), but there was no evidence of anyone visiting. The light switch was off, and the button...

I'm experiencing an intermittent squeal noise coming from the front left area of the vehicle. It began as an intermittent whirring noise that responded to the vehicle's speed (noise speeds up when the vehicle does and slows down when the vehicle does). It has since progressed to a loud squeal. ...

This link was sent to me by a friend. I don't know if it has been posted here or not. It shows what a 1994 turbo miata with 140K miles in the hands of a great driver can do. The video really shows the advantages a 2000 pound car like the miata has over these relatively heavy GT cars when it come...

Hi, I am planning to purchase a 1995 Mazda 626 (asking price 2600USD) and was wondering how reliable would it be. Given that it has about 109K miles on it (low for its age), any opinions on this model/year are welcome. I am looking particularly at reliability atleast till december-06 which is when...

Well, it finally happened. My beloved 1995 R package has bitten the dust. A few weeks ago, I had a very low speed collision. At the worst intersection I know of, the Toyota SUV ahead of me pulled out, then nailed the brakes. By that time, I was accelerating in first behind her, watching the gap in...

I'd like to upgrade the standard casette radio and speakers on my '96 with something that you can actually hear with the top down, and preferably with some kind of connection for an iPod - any suggestions out there? ToplessTony

Where are the attachment points for '99 Miata headlight assemblies? I see two bolts on top, but there is at least one I can't see that's holding it in.

How do I get the old bulb out and the new bulb in on a '99 MX-5? I pulled the big round rubber grommet off the backside, but there's two clips holding the bulb...I bent one moving it, and can't reach the other. I have reached the limits of my limited expertise.

A CD got stuck in my CD player in my '99 MX-5. After removing and replacing most of the fuses under the dash, the CD finally freed itself, but the radio panel light stayed on when the ignition was switched off. Removing the dashboard lights fuse under the hood solved that, but now the antenna...

Hey, I just got the official Mazda workshop manual for my '99 from Med Center Mazda: http://www.mazdaparts.org/shopmanuals.html on sale for $55.00. Not a bad price compared to $100+ like I've seen before, and I got free shipping by spending over $100 (I also got plugs and wires and a fuel...

I have an '03 Miata...great car...love it..however, I would like some better back support and, of course, more leg room. I have seen many a thread discussing removal of seat back foam, removal of the driver side arm rest, removal of the driver side foot rest. However, I'm not sure if these mods...

Anybody have a clue what a used set of 'top hats' (I believe that's the term) should sell for? I've got a set available and a person interested so, I'm just wondering. Is there an approximate value (relative to new) like 50% or 33% of what new would cost that is considered a guideline? My guess...

I'm hoping somebody can point me to a good technical reference ... I have an MPV with (at a minimum) blown head gasket(s). It is a '93 with the 3.0L V6. I've discovered the engine designation is JE, and the same designation is used on the '96 ~ '98 motors. My motor is OBD I, the later motors...

As above, from Mazda dealer, have not mentioned to them of my preference in tyres as yet. I would like "Uniroyals Rainsport 2". What are likely to be fitted and what are my chances of getting the Uniroyals fitted instead at minimal extra cost? Would I have to pay full cost for them ?what...
