Go in there with a paper clip to loosen up any debris that gathered up and clogged the drain. That's a simple fix. Wear eye protection so that dirty water doesn't pour on your eyes.

Replying to: keli449 (Feb 26, 2008 12:43 pm) On the Miata, Look under the door sills, right where the jacking points are. If any body work was done in the past, perhaps the body shop sealed up the hole? |

I've found a '99 Miata without an AC. My mechanic is willing to pull an AC from other Miatas in the junkyard, but does anyone know what years will work in this 99?

Hey guys, Im looking for a 2nd car and came across a 97 Miata...a car that I always wanted but was never able to pull off because here in CT the winters would never allow it. Now I can have another "Fun" car. Im trying to stay under $5K and this is the only one I have found under 100K miles (it has 99K, haha). Looks to be in very good shape, aside from hubcaps instead of rims  Anyone have any thoughts? Anything specific I should look for/ask about? Was this a reliable year for the Miata? Thoughts on finding/prices for used rims? Appreicate any info. Im going to see what I can find over at Miata.net. Thanks again and I look forward to comments, comments, and more comments!

1990 5 speed with 176k miles . The car recently started to stumble while accelerating and acts like it is loosing power. I did the usual external check of all the wires, vacuum lines etc. but nothing loose. The check engine light does not come on. It does this all the time and not just when cold or after running a while. Any suggestions where to start? Thanks, Jeff |
