OK, now I'll bring up an issue of my own. Mine is a '93, just 60k miles, probably time for a throttle body service/fuel system clean up. Basically when I get on the gas, I feel a slight stutter/hesitation, it tends to happen at low rpm, only when I'm accelerating. It's fine coasting or at high rpm. Our 626 did this and it was a dirty fuel system, time to pony up for the same thing on my Miata? Opinions please? -juice

Replying to: ateixeira (May 04, 2006 6:23 am) When speeding, the sound pitch gets a little higher and faster... if this makes sense? When the car is parked I do not hear the noise, but will have someone listen this weekend, if the noise is existing when pressing the gas pedal. Tx.

Replying to: ateixeira (May 05, 2006 6:07 am) Though have figured that the noise is related to speed, but not to hitting the gas pedal... I want to thank you, for being generous with your time and knowledge and helping me to narrow this down... hopefully I can drive the car many years to come, even though FL has been quite rough on it in the few month I have been here. |

Replying to: erics6 (May 04, 2006 8:59 am) * new plugs * new plug wires (30k miles on the old set) * new air filter * new PCV valve * new fuel filter * new coolant The oil and filter were already fresh. I still have to do the gear oil in the gearbox and in the rear diff, but that'll be another day. Boy, the fuel filter is a PAIN IN THE  ! Took longer than all the other stuff combined. It's underneath the car, so you have to jack it up, crawl under, remove a dust shield, a clamp for the filter, two screws that hold the clamp in place, and then remove and reconnect two fuel lines which are incredibly hard to get off. Yikes, I made a mess of myself and am sore a day later. I did it once before, but I guess I blocked the trauma from my memory. I said I'd never do it again, yet I did, and now I'll say I'll never do it again one more time!  Only drove it a short distance, but I'll take a longer drive to see if the stuttering/hesitation goes away. -juice

Hey Miata gurus...I need your expertise. My girlfriend has a '96 Miata, with the base 14" steel wheels (which I like...so old-school). One of the wheels has lost some of its paint, so I want to touch it up. Problem is, I don't know what aftermarket silver spray paint brand/color most accurately matches the color, and would rather avoid the trial and error method. Any thoughts? |

Replying to: ateixeira (May 08, 2006 7:34 am) This may or may not be the issue but I had something similar happen to my '93. At the time it happened I had already eaten through several spark plug wires so was befuddled. I believe what you described were my symptoms also. It turned out to be the airflow meter. Dealership wanted an arm and a leg to replace but I ended up getting a refurbished one from a local mechanic. Anyhow, just something to check if the problem doesn't go away.
