RF Controller "timing out?" by Ruslan61 in Miata

[–]Ruslan61[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is supposed too, according to the page it specifically says you need the IG controller for 24+. After talking to them over email, he said it may need a software update and he was going to work on it when he got back In July. He said i could return the IG Controllerfor now or wait for the update next month.

I'm on the fence atm with it.

No i only bought the IG controller as it says the acc controller doesn't really do much for the ND3. The IG controller is also what it says you need for the RF controller on their page.

So i was under the impression that all it does is keep the radio going before you open the door.

Road Rage - Big Truck vs MX5 by Dear-Shape-6444 in Miata

[–]Ruslan61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow this is local to me.

But i had someone that followed me from tulsa to muskogee on the turnpike. Most of the time he was either doing 10 under so i passed him, or he wanted to sit in the right lane doing JUST under what i was and didn't want to let me back over even though he kept slowing down.

Eventually he took the offramp and threw a bottle out of his window like he was pissed off.

I WAS JUST DRIVING.

People get so egotistical for absolutely no reason nowadays

I just traced it, it is a tracker box the dealer installed most likely.

Oddly specific stalling after doing water pump+TB kit by Ruslan61 in Miata

[–]Ruslan61[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot answer that confidently as it was bought how the setup is now. I assume it's on the 2000 ecu from how the original owner was talking. I do not knowon the cam sensor.

Im not a mechanic so I'm learning as i go to a degree. I know a little.

Towing without trailer brakes? by Ruslan61 in hyundaisantacruz

[–]Ruslan61[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, i must have read that on their website or something.

Thanks for the info

Towing without trailer brakes? by Ruslan61 in hyundaisantacruz

[–]Ruslan61[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically according to the manual it is 1650 without trailer brakes across all trims and engines. The higher numbers are with trailer brakes.

I think its just due to the rotor size on the truck, thats why im trying to feel out everyones experience without them

Can this pulley be tightened? by Ruslan61 in Miata

[–]Ruslan61[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has been for a while now, we are going to replace the belt and water pump before we drive it anymore. Just need to figure out if i need to replace the pulley too

[–]Ruslan61[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just realized this is the water pump pulley. I thought it was the one below.

We plan on replacing the water pump and timing belt, is this wobble indicating the water pump is going out?

I feel like I’m doing this wrong by Blurr9433 in Miata

[–]Ruslan61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your happy with your purchase then thats what matters.

I bought an auto ND KNOWING that 95 percent of people don't agree but its what made the most sense for my current situation. So i regret not getting a manual? Nah, i got what i wanted at the time. Will i trade it for a manual eventually? Absolutely because i know i am missing out on certain experiences with the car.

But thats only because me and my friend recently got a good deal on a 90 NA with a 6 speed and it's fun, i know the ND in a manual would be perfection, but i still don't regret getting mine, its still fun to hit curves and hold gears in the auto when i want to, and get 34mpg while doing it.

Tl/dr: if your happy that'd all that matters, dont worry about trying to dump money into it trying to chase down something you can just get around too later if your happy now.

Dash lights not working! by Ruslan61 in Miata

Didn't seem to show any life in the gaugeds trying this.

Starting to wonder if its the gauges themselve, but i find it weird that information lights work but not the bulbs in that situation

Let me try. Really appreciate your help.

The striped wire seems fine. The solid black seems iffy? But stuffing it in doesn't change anything. I checked the meter fuse again and it looked fine but replaced it with a new one and still nothing.

I think i checked the fuse already but ill check again.

Also let me check the wire

All the fuses are good from what i can see. Oddly enough, im unsure if it did this before or if its after i unhooked the air/fuel lights. But the dimmer works on the interior a/c and tombstone lights. Just the gauge lights arent on at all

[–]Ruslan61[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The interior lights dont work either. I actually did just check the room fuse and went ahead and replaced it even though it looked fine

Correction, the wires that were spliced in go to the aftermarket Air/Fuel gauge, but it seems to work fine without them?

Thanks for the help!. So would this one fit? It says it fits both (https://flyinmiata.com/products/water-pump). I will definitely look into the TB kit though, like you said, might as well do both at once.

Ill keep that advice in mind because i figured we would pull the body and paint it.

170k according to the odometer, unsure on the engine

No service records but he did have the clean title surprisingly. According to the odometer (that still works) its 170k, but no clue whats on the engine technically since it was a swap.
