My Miata bogs down in first
Can anyone help? My Miata bogs down when I release the clutch into first,
it struggles for a bit, then gives me the acceleration I'm used to. Every other gear transition is fine. NOTE: this situations only happens when I'm driving my car "gently", i.e a standard traffic start/stop. Thanks.

A Miata engine does not have a lot of torque at low RPM.
It may be that things such as new plugs, wires, decent fuel, and an air filter will help. Or, you might raise the rpm a bit when you are letting out the clutch.

You might also do the timing 'bump' from 10 BTDC to 14 BTDC. It really does
make a noticeable difference on the 1.6 liter. Of course, the maintenance items mentioned are suspect also, definitely do those.
