    Default good mechanic around?

    looking for a shop or someone who is willing to mess with my car for me. want someone to ck on my o2 sensor - my cel is on but for some reason it started blinking off and on today while i was driving.
    plus there's this annoying rattle when i drive - cant figure out what it is - maybe the rollbar - but it wasnt like that when it was first put in. plus something else.

    anyway. good miata mechanic or someone that wants to tinker with my car for a few days. i'd get my friends and i to do it, but i have 2 classes this month alone and graduation coming up.

    i'll pay a good reasonable price. tia

    Hmmm... CEL flickering on & off and a rattling sound from underneath/behind you? When mine started doing that it turned out to be a bad catalytic converter.

    Yessir. Which is 8 years/100,000 miles, or something like that. Much longer than the standard bumper-to-bumper warranty.

    hm... ok. when i'm driving, say i hit a big bump at a high speed, pothole or something i didnt see. or maybe not even a big bump. the engine would shut off for maybe, one second, and turn back on. mind you, this is while im driving. a friend told me maybe it's my spark plugs, so i'll look into that. i'll give that # a call. thanks.
