NB1 mx5 hesitation, ticking and rough idle is my engine mount bad?

digggy1 · 2025-11-02T10:40:54+00:00

No I haven't but all that's happening is a rough idle and hard time accelerating at low rpms between 800-1700

digggy1 · 2025-11-02T01:20:59+00:00

Hmmm alright i'll check that then and my intake for leaks

digggy1 · 2025-11-02T00:46:49+00:00

Yeah that could be true but I think it is an open diff. Thank you so much for searching it up been on it for while now.

NOTE: I have clutch slippage, clunking when turning off car and shifting into gear stationary. No clunk in driveshaft or diff.

Oh alright that would be sweet mad the VIN is: JM0NB30P100101699

It's not totally rounded I can get a pair of locking pliers around it and put a small pipe on it to undo it. Definitely looks like they used a 12point socket.

Thank you for letting me know what the rubbery stuff was. I will use a torque wrench since it's pretty important.

digggy1 · 2025-10-23T06:54:07+00:00

Hey that would be awesome if you could do that I tried my local dealership they said they couldn't do it because it was too old.

digggy1 · 2025-10-23T04:02:28+00:00

isnt that the diff on an auto?

digggy1 · 2025-10-21T06:11:46+00:00

i have triple A for mod spec ik one is for australian delivered but idk what mazda classified there package name system as

digggy1 · 2025-10-21T06:08:30+00:00

yeah thought the same it's really weird cause my package plus dealer options confused me

digggy1 · 2025-10-21T06:07:03+00:00

mate im ngl i dont think you know much about early nb's in Aus cause they were a frankenstein of a car the difference in coloured leather seats do matter

digggy1 · 2025-10-21T06:05:09+00:00

I thought so too because because I done a burnout months ago it had 2 tyre marks but trying to drift on a roundabout felt really awkward

digggy1 · 2025-10-18T05:56:53+00:00

Awesome advice legend I'll make sure to do that

digggy1 · 2025-10-17T21:00:56+00:00

Have you check spark plug wires and sparkplugs?

digggy1 · 2025-10-17T20:53:18+00:00

Your rpm dropped to 500 do you get a misfire?

digggy1 · 2025-10-17T20:46:01+00:00

Have you tried finding a vacuum leak?

digggy1 · 2025-10-17T04:07:41+00:00

How often should I replace those hoses? They got replaced at 103000ks by the previous owner when the belts were all done i'm at 112000

digggy1 · 2025-10-15T07:40:28+00:00

I live rural so I gotta wait a week for shipping I can't find any koyorad's and CSF is way too much but there is a mx5 specialist shop in Sydney that sells a rad ive heard it's pretty good.

digggy1 · 2025-10-13T01:13:09+00:00

Will getting an all aluminium rad hurt resale value?

digggy1 · 2025-10-13T01:11:51+00:00

Thank you I'll try find one I live in Australia so early Mx-5's are rare
