This is taking into account that the evaporator core box wasn't moved for the passenger airbag components (I have a 92 Miata). Look for the evaporator core cover (its black) right at the bottom of the dash behind the govebox. It's right at the corner where the bottom of the dash by the passenger's feet meets the center stack. You should be able to see a black rubber hose that goes through the firewall towards the front of the car. Follow the hose to where it comes out on the other side of the firewall and try sticking a long wire into the hose and dig around. When the blockage is removed, a large amount of water should come pouring out. If that doesn't work, there is a possibility something is clogging the entrance to the hose. Disconnect the hose from the black cover and push the wire up into the hole in the black cover where the hose connects, but not too far as you don't want to damage the evaporator. Have a pan ready to collect the water if you take the hose off inside your car. My 84 VW GTI poured out over a gallon of water when I unclogged it. You might want to also blow into the hose from inside the car as hard as you can to clear out any debris you didn't dig out with the wire. One of the two should fix your problem. Don't worry though, as it's a common problem on all cars. After getting rid of the blockage, turn on your AC and watch the hose under the hood to make sure it is dripping steadily after running for a few minutes. Hope this helps. Let me know which one fixes your problem.   If you find the cure to the window problem let me know. My driver side window squeaks and moves very slowly as well. Lubricating the tracks hasn't helped much. My guess is our window motors are just worn out.
#2431 of 4340 Problems with your Miata?? by karl1973 Jul 02, 2002 (4:10 pm)
Again, I strongly suggest everyone who wants to know, or just have problems, or whatever with their Miata, go visit http://www.miata.net Our little car has been out for over ten years and almost anything you can throw at someone has been asked before and has been solved!!! Visit the garage section, FAQs section. You will be pleasantly surprised.

thanks for the info. i ended up going on miata.net and found info re: the window in the garage section. the probem is common on older models and hopefully can be fixed by lubricating the window mechanism w/ lithium grease. the whole process is fully explained.
#2433 of 4340 Used Miata by windy6 Jul 11, 2002 (3:36 pm)
Hi, we've been lurking here for awhile trying to decide on a sport (y) car. So far we've looked at Acura TL, the wife squeeked when I stuck my foot into the type S real hard. Subaru WRX, we both like subies but can see that I would spend a lot of time buying tickets to the policeman's ball.   And now consisdering a miata. We both like the car but she really wants the auto. Since she will be the 60% driver I can live with that since i wont be autoXing and we are in our 50's. Any inherent problems with those. I've seen a 95 locally with 100,000 miles the owners wants 8,000 which i think is high because most people don't want autos. I guess I could just go ahead and retire, get a WRX stick and let her get the miata of her dreams. I would appreciate any suggestions from fellow posters. I have looked at miat.net checklist windy6

I own a 95 M Edition Miata w/64,000 miles and it is a wonderful drivers car. Keep looking because the owner is insane at $8k. I bought mine with hardtop ($1,000) 64,000 miles, all service complete for $9,000. The M Edition is loaded with every option you can get including leather.   That is a $5-$6k car.   Mark
#2435 of 4340 I have to disagree,,,, by isellhondas Jul 13, 2002 (6:04 am)
Heck, I would buy it for 5-6K if it's decent!   It's a '95 !
#2436 of 4340 by revdrluv Jul 13, 2002 (6:27 am)
Yeah I've been watching 95 M editions on Ebay going for more like 7k-9k (weird how all miata's sell for such a broad range of prices which seems to have nothing to do with cleanliness)

It's summer - prices may be high right now. Buy in October, they'll plummet. February is even better.   -juice
#2438 of 4340 by mellis Jul 13, 2002 (1:37 pm)
Keep in mind the the car he is talking about is is not an M edition, it is base with 80,000 miles.
