hi, i am having a senior moment here...just finishing up replacing the head on my 95 m-ed and i cant find the temp sending wire, (i didnt expect the head to take so long to repair, so i didnt take better notes). the car is pinging like mad and the "check engine" lite is on w/ code 09. where does...

Please excuse this Mazda query not being Miata-specific, but I've come up dry with both Google's web search and its Usenet archive; this is the only Mazda group I could find, and searching my server's retention of it, I see nothing relevant here, either. Needed: a knob for a '03 Tribute six-CD...

I am considering purchasing a 2008 miata. O have a 1997 and love it. I noticed the 2008 miata required premium gas. Is this true. The dealer said it does not really require it. I will have a hard time purchasing a car that required premium gas these days. any thoughts the group has would be...

1. Harsh ride. I attribute this to the 17" wheels, which I do think are good looking. Not bizarrely large like some say. If I decide to keep the car, for sure I will get smaller wheels. Not sure if I have to go down to 15" do make a difference, or what the wheel/tire choices are in 16,"...

1990 Miata with WestCo battery: I seem to forget to turn my lights off and run down the battery too often. I'd say it happens about twice a month. I have a portable battery jumper in my house and its no problem starting the car when I forget to turn off the lights at home. But it really hurts when...

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...

Time has passed so now I can write about my little incident without cursing :-) Aprox. two months ago I was driving home from work in heavy rain, stopped at the light at a T-junction, took a right turn and did a slow 180 spin which ended with me parked neatly next to the curb in the opposite...

Let me state my problem again with this. Everyday I warm my car up for 5-15 minutes before driving. After approximately 2-5 minutes of driving the thermostat needle starts to slowly drop down to cold, the car down shifts by itself and the engine roars loudly becaue the RPM's are so high when the...

I would like to put on some 16 -17'' rims and tires does anyone know whats a good size to put on a stock Maita 96 I don't want to lower it or make it higher I just need it to have some looks lol

Lidar‘s high resolution and accuracy is used in the creation of many maps. It is thus used in the conjunction with aerial photography .In fact it is useful for mapping terrain models, including the topography. Many high resolution counter maps could be easily jotted down with the sensors of the...

The other day I bought my usual losing lottery ticket and asked myself what I'd get to replace my 1992 1600 pretty much stock Miata if I won..... The answer I came up with is I'm almost completely satisfied with the car, it does what I want, seems pretty much trouble free and is always fun to...

Say Lanny, where is Leon these days ? Did he leave Fla. and go back to the home land ? Bruce Bing '03 LS

Wanted to see if anyone has added an extra fan to a 1990 Miata. Looking to add one to help with cooling when the AC is on. Where would be a good palce to tie into for power. Thanks.

I went to my local lock & safe to get a key cut for my 04 msm, only to discover it has a transponder which only the dealer can program. I call the local Mazda dealer, Lakeland Automall (http://lakelandautomall.com) in Lakeland, FL, and the fellow I spoke to said the key would be $46. A bit of a...

Sunny, mid 50s, light wind, and the roads have been washed clean of sand and salt--a perfect afternoon for the year's first serious top-down jaunt into the Ozarks. We headed south for the Two-hour Loop, about 100 miles that include three of our favorite twisty backroads. The centerpiece, a 10-mile...

I just got started in autocross and I'll also be logging some track time soon. A neighbor who used to drive a MG asked if I planned to install a shatter shield in my car. I've googled this subject and don't see any mentioned of a shatter shield in a Miata. Is this something that only concerns...

Sure, as the fan is working it might be the relay, cabling or the temperature sensor. I don't have a wiring diagram available to check, it might also be one of the fuses. Maybe you can find more useful information in the workshop manual on how to locate the damaged part (google or...

You may never need to remove your engine from your Miata (or any other car) but here's a method that's quick and works very well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gFlgRUbO7M -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/
