Cutting out

Post by Matt Gunn » Wed Jul 18, 2001 11:20 pm

Hi NM

Has your mechanic driven your car and seen the problem ???


I have a 91 and every now and again ( and it happen 2 days ago) my car will
stall as I stop. The revs just fall back to far and it cuts out. I've had
my car serviced by several different people , none have stopped the
problem. The car runs perfectly almost all of the time , its only every now
and again this happens. It has happened in all conditions also. I have no
clues nor anyone I know. It's a very strange thing with my car because it
happens out of the blue. Can be fine for weeks , one bad run that may only
last 20 minutes (20 minutes of stalling is a very long time your realise)
and it's OK again..

Good luck , and never , EVER let a mechanic tell you it's YOUR driving.
He was'nt the guy rubbing his hands together over a full set of MX5 springs
and shocks , and of course the labour was he ??? (ha ha ha)


Cheers

Matt

not before stopping. I've been running it on 91 fuel but have switched to 96
today to see if that makes any difference. Anyone got any other suggestions?
My mechanic reckons its just my driving!

Probably something to do with the idle control at a guess. Does it idle
smoothly at about 850 rpm normally? What is its behaviour like when you lift
your foot off the gas?

I've seen a huge discussion about this on Miata forum,
www.miataforum.com , it's not an isolated problem. You should find lots
of helpful suggestions there.

Nigel,
Someone else on this list had the same problem back in June.

Here's what he wrote
I've got a problem with my 91. It is occasionally stalling when I am
decelerating to come to a stop.
Sounds like the same problem as your.

The discussion that arose from that question is in the archives at
http://www.mx5club.org.nz/emaillists/nz ... mail12.sht
under idle problem.

in particular read what Fletch had to say about it.

Cheers

Hi Everyone
In the MOSS catalogue it is mentioned about this problem, and they say it is
the THROTTLE DAMPING VALVE that is the problem especially on the 90-93
models.(US 59,95) for a new, but I am sure you could find one at MAZDA here
in NZ
