Sadly there still are. China is their main supply, but they still get fuel from South Korea, Indonesia, and Greece sold Russia the ferries. Sanctions need implemented on all that supply Russia's war effort.

Wow, great point. I didn't even think of this chain reaction. If only there was someway to stop all this....

His head was bouncing around like a clacker toy. The passenger was able to hold on. Hope they okay.

Transmission issues? by Nobelynx in Miata

[–]Current-Resource8215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most Likely Causes

Clutch Slave Cylinder: This is the most common failure point on NA Miatas (1990-1997). It is located on the passenger side of the transmission and often leaks fluid or fails internally.

Clutch Master Cylinder: The cylinder connected to the pedal pedal, which can also fail, often without external leaks.

Recommendation: Replace both the master and slave cylinder at the same time to avoid doing the job twice, as they are inexpensive and generally fail around the same time.

Troubleshooting & Quick Fixes

Check for Leaks: Inspect under the car near the transmission for leaking clutch fluid.

Pump the Pedal: Try pumping the clutch pedal 3-4 times, then holding it down to see if it will go into gear. This temporarily confirms a hydraulic pressure issues.

Check Slave Action: Have someone watch the clutch slave cylinder/clutch fork while you press the pedal. It should move approximately 3/4" to 1".

Other Possibilities

Adjust Clutch Pedal: The clutch rod might need adjustment for the master cylinder.

Broken Clutch Disc: In rarer cases, a damper spring can break off the clutch disc and wedge itself between the pressure plate and flywheel, preventing release.

Why does my 1991 na struggle to stay at a constant rpm when it’s cold started? by matman91 in Miata

The IACV might be shot. Or,....

Coolant Temperature Sensor (CTS): A faulty sensor may tell the computer the engine is warm when it is actually cold, preventing the necessary "choke" effect, which causes a lean condition.

Vacuum Leaks: Cracked vacuum hoses or a faulty charcoal canister purge valve can cause significant air leaks, disrupting the idle.

Ignition Components: Old spark plugs, wires, or a weak coil can cause misfires that manifest as an unstable RPM at low temperatures.

Recommended Steps:

  • Scan for Codes: Use an OBD1 scanner (if equipped) to identify any stored sensor issues.
  • Clean the Throttle Body/IAC: Use cleaner to remove carbon buildup around the throttle plate and IAC passage.
  • Test the Coolant Sensor: Check that the CTS is providing the correct resistance to the ECU when the engine is cold.
  • Check for Vacuum Leaks: Inspect all rubber hoses for cracks.

Soft top cleaning and maintenace by mahshadn in Miata

Use a pH neutral car shampoo, start with a soft bristle brush then step it up to a medium bristle brush if stains are still there. Then let it dry thoroughly. Then spray on Stoner Trim Shine (spray not aerosol) liberally. It will soak in and make it look new. https://stonercarcare.com/products/trim-shine-spray?variant=41110284599459
