94 was the last real oil pressure gauge until 06. Have a mechanic check it out. Miata.net is a good resource for problems/solutions.

Our 1995 Mazda 626 V6 was losing power like that, and a throttle-body service it was made the difference. That cleaned up the fuel system.

Miata wont run by cellis06

I have a 1990 miata with 194,000 miles. I am certain that the crankshaft is bad (the key broke off but has been fixed). The car showed signes of a bad map sensor, so i replaced it. that did not help. i just recently bipassed the fuel pump relay and the car will idle great. Occasionally, it wants to die and will rev to 2000 rpm very slowly, then rev just fine. other times, it will rev from idle with no hesitation. my machanic and i are out of ideas. what could be causing this issue? i am not sure what all has been replaced, or it the car has proper timing. i was thinking a fuel filter is clogged or injector. anyone have any ideas?

Stock timing is 10 degrees before top dead center. Might as well set it as that's a fairly easy process.

at what rpm should the idle be to set the timing? would a stopped up catalytic converter cause my issue?

This is purely from memory, but I think it was 850 rpm.
