04 Won't crank if below 20 degrees
Hey guys,
Wondering if anyone has a similar issue. The last 2 days (and once last year), if I go to take the Miata and it's below 20 degrees, the car won't crank. The battery is fine, I even tried an jumper pack just in case. Once the day warms up a bit it will crank and start just fine. I've had no other issues with it, it's currently still on the OEM ECU. I've wiggled a few wires, but no change. It's hard to test because it only happens when cold and not all the time.
Has anyone else had an issue like this?

Won't crank. All the lights, radio, ect.. works. Doesn't even click. I can hear the fuel pump too. I was thinking the clutch switch, but I looked and it acted properly. Didn't have my meter with me to test the wiring.

It happened yesterday and again this morning. I'll try what you suggested tomorrow if it happens again. Doing the timing belt, water pump, radiator swap tomorrow and then the S4 install on Thursday.
Thanks

it wont even click when i turn the key. i whacked the starter a few times to try to free it up (thought that may have been it) still did nothing.
to start it, i would rapidly turn the key from off to start multiple times, and something would just contact and start it up. kindof weird. i wanna figure it out, but now that its warm, it wont do it... ill have to wait til winter i guess...
