just barely flunked ca smog test due to slightly -- very slightly -- over-the-limit nitrogen oxide at idle (while o.k. at 25 mph). the technician (it was a "test only" facility) said he suspected the oxygen sensor needed replacement. everything else tested fine. any other thoughts out there before...

Bought 95 mazda miata. Seats have speakers the stock radio was replaced by a sony by past owner. The seat speakers not working or not hooked up. Has anyone had any experience with getting seat speakers working?

i'm looking at the mazada 3's and was wondering if they are a good car etc.. its between that and a honda civic? thanks

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...

Something interesting happened today. The pressure gauge on my 91 dropped quickly toward zero when I braked hard coming off a freeway exit. The pressure immediately came back up to normal as soon as I let off the brake. I kept a close eye on the gauge at the next stop light and it did the...

We've had some storms and my 1992 Miata is really dirty, would one of you please come wash it for me? TIA!

Hello newsgroup! You ever see those cars with the loud, loud speakers and the spinners, all pimped out, rollin down the boulevard? And sometimes they've got these decals, to make it look like there are bullet holes in them. But they're fake bullet holes; those cars are (to borrow a neologism...

Is radweld any good to use in a badly corroded & leaking radiator?

My husband and I are putting on a new Robbins top, and are stumped. The cable for our old top was NOT THERE on either side when we took it apart (previous owner), and we're putting on new cables. So, before we commit and rivet them in place, should they be top up, with curved metal underneath?...

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...

i am trying to install a crank angle sensor on a 99 miata and i can't figure out exactly where it is positioned. if anyone had any pics or advice that would be great.

I have a 2000 Mazda Miata. I see references to MK I, MK II and MX-5. Can someone tell me what the differences are? And if they would know what I have (i.e. can you tell by the year or is there other differences). I know its a dumb question, but I thought I'd take a chance and ask.... Thanks

I have a silver '02 and looking for a more "throaty" sound. Any recommended after-market slipon's? Thanks, -- Joe B. '02 quickSilver

Anthony's recent post about purchasing a NA White Miata got me thinking about a couple of questions I've never gotten a good answer to. 1) Anybody else notice allot of white cars / trucks from the early 90's had paint peeling problems ? 2) Was this cooincidence or was there an EPA mandated change...

I recently came across a 1993 mariner blue 5 speed Miata for sale. It has a hard top that is in decent condition, but has a few problems: 1. It has been in a minor accident (a sideswipe that has left a medium size dent on the driver door) 2. It needs a paint job (it has plently of scratches) 3....

I've just watched the Live stream 'reveal' of the third generation MX5 from the Geneva show. It's interesting that the technology can do this but the picture's so small you couldn't see any details, a lot of drummers and a small red car. After keeping the M1 body virtually unchanged for ten years...

I have an '02 SE, Titanium Grey. One of my neighbors down the street has always commented on how much she likes my M2, she wants one. So she and her hubby got serious about a new M2 recently, and I strongly encouraged them to hunt for a deal on a leftover '04 MazdaSpeed. They ended up with a new...

One day the light stayed on. Checking charging voltage, had a tad over 15 volts and climbing so had the brushes and regulator replaced. The mechanic claimed it wasn't charging at all when he got it, and that after changing the brushes and regulator it worked properly (range 14.4-15.2 is normal...
