Car Forum / Mazda / Mazda Miata / July 2005Check Engine Light
I have an intermittent 'check engine' light. It came on for about a half hour in the middle of 3 hour drive. It was out well before the engine was stopped and turning the key back on to accessory did not result in an error code flashed by the check engine light (per miata.net it should on this '95 triple black). I recently had the timing belt, ac and alternator belt, two front hoses, crank seal and two front cam seals, ignition cables and plugs. The power of the car was significantly increased after the repair, probably due to the new cables. Any suggestions welcome. Thank you! > I have an intermittent 'check engine' light.

Turn it so it clicks at least twice. --- Lanny Chambers '94C, St. Louis http://www.hummingbirds.net/alignment.html >> I have an intermittent 'check engine' light.

When I had the new timing belt installed at 60,000 mi I had them put a new gas cap on......No more cel and this oem cap seems to have done the trick. It actually feels different and takes a little more pressure to tighten or remove. Thanks all! I am conscious of the gas cap issue and screw it down until it clicks at least twice when I refill the gas. However I have not noticed the suction sound when taking it off like I hear on other cars and so have wondered if there was a leak. I will get a new gas cap from the dealer and see if it helps. Thanks again. ps. sorry about the duplicate post. for some reason what i thought was a new thread appeared under and old tread of the same title in my news reader so i did not think it posted at first. when the second one did not post i looked harder and found it. >>>> I have an intermittent 'check engine' light.
