looking for miata mechanic

if someone would like to earn a little cash by helping troubleshoot my 2002 Mx-5 Miata that would be great bc i'm running out of ideas & options at this point. car will turn over and then immediately die out. have replaced fuel filter, fuel pump, battery, coil pack, spark plug wires, fuel cap lid, and cam position sensor all very recently..

Did you do all that work before or after the problem developed? Seriously, we had a new tranny put in a truck where I work and the next day it all locked up, transfer case exploded and dropped the driveshaft.

Doesn't matter really - Stevan aka rogue is the man

Just out of curiosity, have you made anyone angry enough to stuff a potato or something like that up your tailpipe? Any codes? How old is your air filter?

Hope this helps.

Have you checked the ground wires in the engine bay? There's a set of them connecting to a plastic piece down under the brake booster area.

Sounds like how the Miata acted when I tried to start it when the air ducting between the throttle body and MAF sensor was not in place. Anyone know how to verify if the MAF is working?

IF air filter was toast, would that prevent the car from running? I can start the car with assistance from a jump..towed it to the shop and they checked AFM, Crank & Cam sensors. they called the next day and thought it might be the timing belt & going to take the valve cover off and have a look-see. time to wait and see.. 8-)
