Paint Chip by Gary
I have a very noticeable finger nail size paint chip on my '90. My amateurish experience with using the official Miata touchup paint has not been great. It usually looks deeper in red after applying a dab of touchup. Maybe I'm screwing up using it. What have others experienced, because I'm on the...

Noise in Cold by Gary
Miata '91 Only when its cold, I get a rattling noise under the hood. I think it might be the lift bar that props up the hood being loose in the holder when the hood is down. Any others have this noise?

Head Gasket by Gary
'91 Miata and head gasket. Is this an expensive job to replace? Also is it advantageous to use a OEM Mazda part or should I consider an alternative gasket?

Does high octane gas generate more pollutants out the exhaust than regular (lower octane gas)? Just curious.

Idle by Gary
'91 STD with A/C shut off. What controls the idle from veering off its mark? Keeping it on the money and not moving a fraction.

Gas Pinging by Gary
I filled up my '91 Miata less than a week ago and used Mobil regular, as usual. I have rarely had a pinging problem with regular low octane gas. Now I have it. I will not know if this is an anomoly or if it will repeat. QUESTION: Is it possible that since hurricane Katrina, and the US relaxing...

A/C Leak by Gary
My '91 Miata A/C seems to have a leak because I get less than a month when I have it fully charged. However, it does work effectively for that month. Is there some common area that is the cause of the leak? Tube? Connector? ??? Also, is it worth fixing the compressor if that happens to be bad, or...

Rain and Intrerior by Gary
Hi, Miata: 1991 with hard top on and window slightly open. I left the passenger side window open about two inches. A half hour rain managed to enter the Miata and did the following: (1) Wet the right side of the seat closest to the passenger side door. That seems to be thoroughly dry after...

Parging and/or headlight warning alert solved by Gary
The following pertains to my early M1 Miata: I have a 1990 Miata that lacks an audible alert, when the headlight or parking light is accidentally left on, and the ignition is off. I tried the light minder product and it was really tough to fit over the fuses and never kept a good...

Paint Paste by Gary
Has anyone had luck mixing Miata touchup paint with something else, like car wax, and putting that over spots that need tweeking. Why? Puttting the touchup direct usually looks worse.

Any recommendations for servicing my Miata in the Boston or Greater Boston region? I would prefer a knowledgeable independent Miata specialist rather than a dealer.

Panel Switch Replacement by Gary[_3_]
1991 Miata. I have a Cruise Control Rocker Switch (to the left of driver's left knee, on instrumental panel) that is bad. I checked the manual and it says that the switch can pop out. It can't be that easy. Does the switch easily pop out, and you simply disconnect the wired connector behind the...

Water Leak Passenger Side Interior Under Glove Compartment by Gary[_3_]
Inside my 1991 Miata, the water literally pours onto the rug on the passenger side when the A/C is on. I turn off the A/C and no water problem. Should I assume that the hose has become loose inside and to get it from the interior? Also, should I dismantle the glove compartment. I see two screws at...

Oil Overfilled by Gary[_3_]
Not the first time I over filled oil in my '91 Miata. The last time I overfilled a couple of quarts and had to bring it to a shop to drain out the excess oil. Now, I have added about a half-quart too much oil. Its about a quarter of an inch above the word FULL on the dip stick. Should I once...
