Hi, I am putting together my wife's 95 m-ed and find the timing belt to be a pain...the exhauste will stay put in the correct postion but the intake is pushing the valves open and I end up with slack between the cam gears. any hints? also te factory manual says to align the intake w/ the "E" on...

I know the timing belt is supposed to be replaced at 60k. My 2000 is at 75k but the belt is in good condition... no nicks etc. Money is tight at the moment... how much longer can I go before this has to be replaced... I know that I'll be stuck wherever I am but there is no damage that can occur...

Looks like I broke the antenna on my 1992 Miata, motor runs, antenna doesn't go up or down. I went to my local dealer's website and it appears that Mazda no longer sells the replacement mast, only the entire power antenna assembly, is that...

I was talking to my neighbor yesterday, he said, "I've sure gotten old! I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees. Fought prostate cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine, take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and...

On my '99, I regularly have the problem that the starter solenoid clicks, but the starter won't crank right away. I have to turn the ignition key on and off several times before the starter turns. I have a new starter and a new ignition switch. This has annoyed me for several months. Does anybody...

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...

Over the weekend I fried a red/gray (or black) wire located just to the right of the steering column leading into the center console in my '92 Miata along the bottom of the dashbord. It paralleled a blue wire. My guess is there was a short involving the Viper security system toggle switch, which I...
