20 Most Recent 1995 Mazda MX-5 Questions & Answers

Have it checked out by a professional body shop. If they determine the problem is related to a covered accident, then they can typically get it approved by an insurance adjuster.

Where was it stored? If corrosion is the issue, battery cables, wiring to alternator, alternator itself, battery terminals, fuse block, anything moisture got to sit on or near for more than a week or so. Miatas hate water in my experience.

Most often the main 80 amp fuse is blown - happens when someone slips with a socket extension when trying to remove the battery terminals. Fuse is under the hood, passenger side and here's a diagram: http://www.mellens.net/mazda/Mazda-Miata-1997/fuses.pdf

Not really, if one works and the other one does not.... AND you can move it manually... Then it is Toast

When you turn the ignition switch to the start positionon any vehicle, there is no dash lights or anything,that ishow it worksTest the ignition switch & the starter & starter relay

Possibly the fuel pump or crankshaft sensor

Please try to check if the timing belt was properly installed correctly after replacing the waterpump.

Lubricate all the rods and connections you have so there is not as much friction.

The headlights in a Mazda Miata are generally of two types. Some Miatas use the factory "flip up" style headlights, where a motor raises and lowers the headlight assembly out of the front bumper area. When this motor fails or when the headlights are not working properly, you'll need to replace the failed component. Replacement headlights are normally available from Mazda or from most auto parts stores if you need to replace the entire assembly. However, before you replace anything, you need to troubleshoot the problem. check for debris in the path and any loose or frayed wires.

Unfortunatly there is no adjustments, probably a weak motor.

If this was helpful a vote with the thumbs up would be appreciated for the advice.

thanks

1. Replace Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor. See picture below:

Hi,
hydraulic fluid is normally a 10 weight oil. However, as manufacturers stipulate certain additives for their hydraulic oils your better off sticking to the original from Mazda.

Good luck.

ck ignition switch, try to slowly turn key both ways and see if they come back to life, if so, replace the switch

When an engine is cold,the first 5 min,the oil is thicker and you get a higher pressure reading

There isn't, a which is correct

You could have a bad sending unit, and thus inaccurate readings or engine wear causing it to drop off.

If your asking about different dip stick readings,then you only check your oil in the morning when all drained down and cold. Everyone knows that!

At running temp it should be the same,if you wait until it drains down,say a half hour
