Engine revs great in park or neutral but bogs down on long hills due to having to step on the gas pedal more. Engine bogs down when I punch it in drive only! No problem punching it in park. Any suggestions as to whats up? Thanks for any advice.

I have an intermittent flashing air-bags light on my '94 -- the flashing isn't very bright (can't even see in daylight) and flashes about five times and then stops, then five times more, etc. Is there a way to check if something's wrong, and if so, possible to fix myself. Any help...

Ok, so I've been talking for the last couple of years about doing my shocks, and this year I fianlly had the money to do it. I went back and forth on doing it myself, but in the end I decided to do it. So I did the rears with not too much trouble, except that I had to wait for a shock boot to be...

Just purchased a 91 Miata. There are a couple of unknown wires hanging around. One is a coax coming from the drivers side pillar behind the visor. The other is a multi-conductor cable with a female pin jack similar to a printer cable.

At night, when I turn on the head light, my AC/Heater dials on my center console does not light up. I did check the fuse box but can not find which fuse it belongs to, what would it be label as? Could it be the internal lamp? How would I check this? Thanks

My '97 Miata with 80K miles has an annoying ride. Even on smooth roads, if I hit a normal street manhole cover, the car bounces around. I know it is supposed to have a firm ride, but this seems dangerous... going around a curve and hitting a small bump results in a little side skid. I checked the...

The car is another person's 1991 Miata with 100K plus miles. Last week, the car did not start. It had full electrical power but was not cranking at all. I checked all of the fuses, fiddled with the connections under the dash and at the battery to see if anything was loose, then the car started...

My '92 Miata was broken into on Friday and aside from loosing the stereo, seat covers, floor mats and parcel shelf cover, the headlight retractor/flasher switch was in pieces.

The previous owner of my Miata installed a monsterous stereo system consisting of mis-matched components, DVD player so he could watch "Deep Throat" on the screen while driving and a many billion watt amp in the trunk, all installed by a drop out from plumbing school who had absolutely no clue as...

We have purchased genuine Mazda hardtop wall brackets for my wife's 2003 MX5's hard top but the instructions say to remove the hardtop, fit brackets and only then to measure the spacing for the drilled holes in the wall. I had hoped to pre-mount the brackets to make removal and storage quicker and...

Well... ..perhaps I'm a very right-brained kind of kid, but back home they now tend to think I have no brain whatsoever, (something of course my ex-girlfriend claimed all along). The latest example: http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~peer/peerRoadster.html -- peer

Hello friends at the Miata newsgroup, I'm looking for a do-it-yourself shift improver kit for my 99 Miata. Does anyone know where I can get one, if it exists? Thanks, Craig

I left my '93 Miata sitting for the winter and neglected to start it periodically. Result: dead battery. Charging it for about 18 hours on a Sears charger at low charge (vs. fast charge) had no effect. The battery's a Wesco, less than a year old. My question: can a battery's charge drain off...
