| Instead of putting a new top, what about getting a car cover and just covering it? Does that work? | |

My 1994 MX5 took unsually long to start (usually starts first crank). The same evening it started first crank but then died. Checked for sparks. No sparks from any of the leads. Checked coil pack. Cleaned and checked resistance between High voltage outputs - 10kOhms on both coils. Reconnected coil but still no spark and engine just cranks over but does not even fire. Cam belt seems fine. Car has an alarm but no idea if it has the ability to kill the engine. How does one get access to the fuse panel inside the car? Appreciate any input.

We just bought a 1996 Miata with automatic transmission. The previous owner said something about the button on the gearshift being a "half" gear? When we push it the dashboard lights up and says "Hold". As you can tell, we are very car illiterate, and there was no owner's manuel. When we try to accellerate hard, it feels like it slips out of gear. Can anyone help us understand how to work this button?

tonight heading out to check the mail I got the worst electrical smell coming inside my car from the engine. Lifting the hood to check the engine I saw a craftsman magnetic laying on from what I can tell from the manual is the canister purge solenoid valve & EGR boost sensor. Left side if your looking at the engine in the middle of the windshield fluid bottle & radiator bottle. This is also a 1990 Miata Can anyone tell me if this might've been a interference causing a electrical smell? I noticed that when I put it in 2nd gear it didn't seem to have the power it usually has, this was before the smell. Of course once I saw the tool & took it out, I drove it back home, ran it for 5 min looking to see if wires were touching or if I could see smoke. Smell is gone from the engine & seemed to run fine, but I had to leave the windows open to air out. Any thoughts would be great! thanks
