I just took delivery of a 2006 MX-5 Sport (Copper Red). Could not be
happier.
I have just a couple basic newbie questions that I can't seem to find
answered anywhere.

I am getting some strange noise from the engine when the engine is in
neutral and the air conditioner is on.  The problem goes away if the
clutch is in or if the air conditioner is turned off.  I did some
searches on the web and found some information but nothing conclusive.

I ran the diagnostic test on my '92 and got a "1", which according to
Miata.net is the code for "ignition pulse".
Could someone provide me with some insight and where to look for the
problem?

Everything I find on shocks and suspension is for performance and handling.
Any body have any suggestions for shocks for improving ride for cruising?
I just bought a '95 two weeks ago and it seems like every bump I hit bigger
than a pebble goes straight up my.....seat. Is it normal ...

On the console, There are 2 switches for the power windows. Both have 3
"braille bumps" on them. The 3 bumps on the left switch actually light up,
so I assume they're LED type devices. I don't see any illumination on the
passenger switch. Can someone verify whether the "bumps" ...

I have a peculiar problem, but first a little background.
The other day I went to start my miata, after it had been sitting for
awhile (~1 month).  It was difficult, but it did start, but began to
sputter and shake badly.  Even backfiring a couple of times, but it

I went to see _A_Scanner_Darkley_ on saturday, and Donna
(Winona Ryder) drove a silver/gray roadster.  The entire film
was digitally rotoscoped, which made it hard to identify the
car.  At first I thought it was a Jaguar, but it looked a bit

04 Mazdaspeed with ~16k miles, grey.
All I was intending to do was go to the dealer with my golf clubs to see
if they'd fit. They did, barely. Test drove it for a couple of hours,
could not get the smile off my face. It's a peppy little thing. I'm sure

Thanks for 8 years of great information. But my wife and I have retired and
want to do some traveling so we are downsizing. One of the things to go is
our Miata. Anyone interested can get all the details and see pictures at

In my Haynes Manual for my 96 Miata, it says before removing Fuel Filter to
change it, the fuel pressure must be relieved first.  Is this necessary?  To
do this it says to start the engine; then unplug the fuel pump relay
connector; wait for the engine to stall; this relieves the ...

I am trying to put a new Koss MS2015 radio/cd player in my 1992 Miata.
I have connected the power leads to a 12 volt pair on the car but the radio
does not power on.
The ground is negative. The wires from the car are hot (checked with a

it been awhile since i've posted...
what are good options to replace a motor in a 95?
use the same 1.8 motor?
use a newer motor?

Anyone have experience at converting from manual steering to power
steering? Mine is a 1994 very basic Miata in great condition. Manual
steering wouldn't be that bad if it wasn't for my arthritis. Thanks.

I got a turbo bug in my head and it won't go away.  I have a '97 and
$3000, maybe a little more to play with.  Can I get a kit installed
for that much?  I'd be very interested in hearing from anyone who has
experience with this upgrade.  I'd especially like to get brand
