Repair Questions and Answers
Question: 1998 Miata mileage:
113,000. Recently I have been experiencing a hazy film
build up on the interior of the windshield and door
windows. This film appears the next day after washing
the windows with Windex. I have tried several window
cleaning solutions and sprays with no improvement. I
have owned the car for three years and this film, which
is typical, would appear weeks after cleaning the
windows, I am a non-smoker. Any ideas?
Answer: Usually a haze on interior
windows is caused by a slight leak in the heater core
resulting in coolant condensing on the glass.
Question:
1999 Mazda Miata mileage: 100,000. Having a problem
fueling my Miata. As I am pumping gas, the pump
will constantly shut off, as it normally does when
nearly full, but throughout the entire filling up of the
tank. Earlier problem last year resolved after
"prolong" fuel additive, but then restarted a couple
months back. Don't have any more prolong, but
other additives aren't helping. What's up, and
what can I do about it? Thanks
Answer:
From what you have described, we think you may have a
vent hose that is kinked or somehow restricted or the
main fill pipe is restricted. You may want to try
a different gasoline station, as the problem may be as
simple as the gas nozzle on the gas pump.
Question:
1997 Mazda Miata mileage: 98,000. My Miata started
running bad as if it was missing I tested all the fuel
injectors and fuel press and press regulator checked for
spark on all 4 plugs looked good so I replaced my plugs
wow it ran great for a few miles then it started to get
worse again as it was before. When I replaced the
plugs, I noticed #1 and 3 were fouled. What could
be doing this should I replace the plug wires and what
else might I need to look at?
Answer:
You may be fouling the spark plugs for number 1 and
number 3 with oil due to possible broken rings or your
engine may be just tired and using oil. You might
try a hotter heat range on the spark plugs. We
would suggest doing a compression check and find out
what is going on.
