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?

Very interested but never purchased a Miata, I have a line on a '96 with 113k miles on it for $5300. Looking for any advice on what to look for or be prepared for before taking the plunge. Cheers kevin

Replying to: lantzka (Nov 25, 2007 6:57 pm) The top is 11 years old so if it's original budget $900 plus for a replacement. If it's not cracked already it will be in the next year or two. |

Have found a 2000 that's closer to home, a little more ($8300) and fewer miles (66k). Any tips for this model? Thanks.

Replying to: lantzka (Nov 27, 2007 7:07 pm) The re-do came in 1999, so that's a newer generation. I believe some early cars had some clutch chatter issues, not all of them, but a few. Make sure the clutch engages smoothly. That's a good price, though. |

Found a great looking blue/grey 2005 Miata LS, 24k miles, driven with extreme care by one female adult owner, tan leather, automatic, BOSE, with factory warranty for one more year. They came down to $16k, which is pretty far below the book. Only problem is that prior owner was a smoker, although I believe the odor can be eliminated (and the seller is doing much to help out in this regard). How does this sound to you guys? Also, I'm wondering if you would recommend buying an extended bumper-to-bumper warranty -- not from the dealership, but from my credit union where I've bought warranties before with great success ($1300 for a 0 deductible, 4 year or 100,000 miles). Thanks.
