It seems to get a little better after 20-30 seconds. I think you probably have bad after start enrichment values. Once the after start kicks off and it smooths out a bit, the problem is likely warm up enrichment.

Other things to check:
1) Spark from both coils?
2) Bad gas?

You can also try adjusting the idle screw out a bit to raise the idle. I had to bump mine up slightly with the MS.

alrighty well my gas has been sitting in there since ummm, the last day i drove it which is when it started to snow, i believe the last day was in november think it has gone bad by then? And are you saying my coil pack is bad? And how would i check if im getting a spark, i really want to get my car running ahh its killing me.

you're only firing one cylinder.

If performing a basic task such as 'check for spark' defeats you, perhaps installing your own standalone engine management system was a few steps over your head?:inout:

just pulled out the plugs from the front of engine back plug 1 is really black, plug 2 and 4 are not as bad, and plug 3 is black wet, smells like gas...il check for spark tm to late now and dark.

cjernigan 02-04-2008 08:31 PM

Install new plugs while you're at it.
Just stick the plug in the end of the plug wire and turn the car over with the plug near the metal engine hoist bracket. Get someone else to turn the key if you have to.

miataz 02-04-2008 08:53 PM

yea, i just replaced them not to long ago, but i will again, and i googled the other part says get friend to turn key as you said and hold new ground and look for spark or just hold it by the plug as you said. If i get no spark does that mean my coil pack went?

cjernigan 02-04-2008 08:58 PM

If you get no spark while using new plugs that means your coil or ignitor is dead or your wiring is bad or your MS isn't setup right. All kinds of options. Check if you have spark first then go from there.

miataz 02-04-2008 11:05 PM

i think its my ignitor because what does it say unplug it when you load firmware. Whats firmware when i plug in the ms to the harness? Because i never unplugged it and it said it could damage it but i never knew what firmware ment. So which part is the firmware so i dont do it again...but il double check tm if thats it or not but i think it is...ya when i loaded the map it was plugged in thats def my problem FUCK. And there fucking expensive to god dammit.

Ignitors can be found cheap used, search. You can also grab them from a 91-94 DSM (Talon, Laser, Eclipse) 2.0L turbo. Maybe the 2.0L N/T as well.

If the ignitor is all you blow during the course of your turbo miata build I will be amazed.

miataz 02-05-2008 02:59 PM

olderguy 02-05-2008 03:50 PM

Check the vacuum line capped on the extreme rear of the intake to see if it has blown off if you find that your spark is OK.

miataz 02-05-2008 04:13 PM
