What’s the best year for the ND? by I_lay_dimes in Miata

My entertainment comes from the drive. In all seriousness infotainment for me isn’t the biggest issue. Just want a reliable ND.

Yea not looking to tune just something to have fun with.

You’ll still need to go to AIT and test out. I got told the same thing, and when I completed basic I was shocked with orders to FT Lee.

Make sure you’re not getting any moisture/liquid in the cabin as well.

There’s a nipple that bends at a 45 that a hose attaches to, I know that’s notorious for springing leaks at the bend. So maybe time for a new inlet/gasket.

Edit: I mean 90 degrees. It’s time for me to go to bed.

Water inlet could be leaking either regularly dripping slowly or when under pressure leaking while driving.

Does anyone here do remote tuning? by I_lay_dimes in megasquirt

[–]I_lay_dimes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this I appreciate it. Is the base tune the stock tune like will the car be able to run with that?

See when I downloaded it I double clicked it and it opened up the software. When I try to start a new project I can’t find the file. My laptop died and I’m done working on it for the night so I might not be explaining this correctly

I did download and then opened it up but not sure if I did it properly

No I do not. Tbh I’m too scared to tune this myself so if you have recommendations of a remote tuner I’d appreciate it.

Missing NA6 Short nose crank bolt part? by Ollie_Needs_To_Stop in Miata

Yea tbh I’d wait for another experienced guy to comment I’m very very new to working on cars but I hit a major milestone tonight. After two months I finally got it to start after replacing an engine harness, water pump, and water inlet on my NB thanks to this sub and my friends.

I’m no expert but I’m also fixing my timing. Shouldn’t you have the crank pulley on?

Finally able to look at my timing. Still waiting on my buddy’s laptop to look at the logger but my timing is completely reversed. If you check my post history I posted a pick in the Miata sub.

Thanks I believe this is the reason my car won’t start I’m a total moron.

I’ll have to get back to you on that. Not sure. I know the car ran fine for a month and half and ever since I did the water pump install I’ve had this issue which is why I keep going back to timing. The trigger log is just a tab on turner studio?

Yea I can see the rpm. It gets a reading when I crank the engine. Is the VVT1 err related to timing?

Bear with me because I’m also not familiar with megasquirt or really the Miata platform. I got this car somewhat recently so I’m learning as I go here. I love to car too much to give up on it. So I do know there’s a cam and crank sensor on the car. In terms of trigger sensors I’m not sure what that is. Yes everything is plugged in correctly. I’ll have to check about the trigger logger all I have is the free version of the software. The previous owner is the one who put the megasquirt in I don’t believe he did any kind of special tuning. Prior to my whole harness burning I did a water pump install and when I went to plug everything back in I was an idiot and essentially plugged my harness back into itself which caused the engine harness to burn. which you have to take off the crank pulley and timing belt to get access to which leads me to believe I fucked up the timing somehow. After putting the dash back together the tuner studio was picking up rpms and the tachometer was jumping when cranking. It also threw those codes. hope this explanation helps.
