Help! Irregular idle, AFR running lean, No leaks?

Hi Isaac.  Hard to say without knowing your setup but here's a wild guess...  1 and 6 sound like spark plug wires. Or plugs...  Or coils.  4 could be the idle switch. Does the wide band need calibrating? Or the ecu lookup tables aren't  right.  See what it says in free air...  As the engine b...

Selling the NB for a NA

Personally I liked the character of the 1600 as it was designed to be "peaky" whereas the 1800 was designed around a flatter torque delivery. The latter point is from one of the hardcover miata books that's still kicking around here :)

being hydrophilic, it'll also become more watery (technical term ;) over time ... for non-racing uses you have worse mileage to deal with as well as the corrosiveness.
