I have a 2001 Miata with 25,000 miles on it. Recently it started running kind of poorly, so I put a bottle of fuel injector cleaner in it. Next time I went to drive it - it starts, then dies a couple of times, then runs fine. A couple of days later, it took more tries to get it to run. The check engine light came on while I was driving, but after smelling a puff of gas, engine light went off. Next time out, car won't start. I put in new spark plugs. Still, every time it cranks, it runs for a couple of seconds, then dies. Any ideas about what is wrong? After reading many of the postings, I haven't seen anything exactly like this. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey folks. I have a 2006 Miata and was wondering if anyone else experienced the radio/cd player fizzing out for about 2 seconds once you latch the top back up. It's not a big deal whatsoever but I was just wondering if anyone knew what caused it! Thanks

with 53,000 Miles on it. It's been sitting out side for two years. Anything special I should do to it other then the usual stuff? And should I look for anything? I am going to buy a new soft top any hint on a good one? Thanks

Replying to: reuban1 (Jul 14, 2006 6:44 am) I got a '93 when it was 8 years old, and the rear diffy fluid looked like melted chocolate. The clutch slave cylinder wore out and the fluid in there wasn't much better. That plus all the usual 60k service stuff. Anything original is 16 years old now, so maybe all the belts and hoses if they look worn, cracked, or feel hard. -juice

Replying to: reuban1 (Jul 14, 2006 3:48 pm) Change oil ASAP. Cheap insurance. You might try some plastic polish on the back window. I have seen that do wonders. You have nothing to lose if you are going to replace the window anyway. You can have a new back window sewn in (I have one in my car that the previous owner had installed). Any shop that does convertible tops can do this. The rust on the rotors is just on the surface. It will wear off in your first drive. Make certain that you don;t have any other brake components rusted and not fully functioning before you try that quick stop behind someone. Pick up a copy of Rod's Miata Enthusiast Manual to help you through all of the maintenance items including the power window repair. This should not be too difficult with the proper instructions. Enjoy your new ride! Mike

Replying to: kymike (Jul 14, 2006 5:08 pm) On the first star the windows blower & a bunch of other stuff didn't work I turned off the engine than restarted & all the components worked. Started & restarted theyesterday & now nothing works. Any suggestion? When changing the back end fluid does the car have to be level or can I just jack up the back end?
