i was looking at much newer miata's when i came across a 1999 w/auto
trans w/44k miles.(anniversery edition)  i've normally prefered a stick
especially since the auto's don't seem to excite too many in the area
of performance. if i get this one what could i do to get more

I have a Mazda Protoge 1994 model which failed to start, so I took it
to the garage. They told me the problem is the crank angle sensor and
that no-one makes that part - I have to replace the distributor which
is 450 dollars plus labor/tax making 650 in total. When working(!) the

I have a 92 mazda mx-3 and would like to get more performance from the
engine it has the double OHC engine/5 speed trans. Any help on this
question I would really enjoy. Thanks.

Sort of an odd thing... the Miata idles at about 1250rpm while waiting
for a light but if I put it in neutral the idle drops to a proper
750rpm or so.  Doesn't matter if the clutch is in or out, it idles at
750 until I put it in gear, then it immediately goes to 1250.

I am 99% certain that this came off of a miata, probably from under the
dash. Before I go digging for part numbers, does anyone recognize what
it is?

I have no problems with my 04 MSM's handling in any way, and I would not
like to screw it up in any way, but I do find the gearing to be awfully
short. I would like to decrease the effective gearing on the car by
changing the tires from 205/40/17 to 205/45/17. There's pretty decent

I know this is a Miata group, but there is no general for Mazda.
My wife drives a 2000 626 and I was wondering if there is a light that illuminates the
gears by the shifter?
I drove it the other day and noticed that there is no way to see what gear you are in

I have had a Mk 1 import for the last 10 years.  Recently, somehow, water
is getting into the car (yes I have got the roof up) following heavy rain
and I can hear it sloshing around under the floor on the passenger side.
I have checked that there are no blocked drain holes but ...

Might sound goofy. Anyone ever heard of / seen a wheelchair rack (thinking
something similar to a non-damaging removable bike rack) for the back of a
Miata? This is for an ultra-lightweight foldable wheechair (about 25 lbs).
Or...anyone know of a shop in Houston that might ...

I've got a mirror with a damaged base, works fine, looks bad.  I checked
Ebay for a replacement and see there seem to be more power mirrors available
than manual and I can also get the switch but..... how much wiring is needed
to add power mirrors?  I can't find any reference to ...

My '99 Miata has been making a shrieking noise if the engine is warm and
revs fall below 1000 RPM .  If I accelerate to 3000 or so RPM--usually in
3rd gear, drop the clutch and let the revs fall back, it goes away.  Belt
dressing has helped.

Please excuse this Mazda query not being Miata-specific, but I've come up
dry with both Google's web search and its Usenet archive; this is the only
Mazda group I could find, and searching my server's retention of it, I see
nothing relevant here, either.

Does anyone know how to reprogram a keyless entry  remote for a 2006
Mazda 6?  Please help!

Last week I bought a new set of winter tires and put them on a set of
alloy wheels, which I use exclusively for winter.  I noticed
immediately that the steering wheel would shake at highway speed.  FYI
I don't think the 65mph shimmy is the main cause because I didn't have
