Hi,

Could be now that you've said that... I did get a flat battery the other day for no apparent reason... just about sure lights were off when I parked (it was night time) and when i woke up to go to work, no battery power.. hmmm.. i'll check.. but never thought battery would have anything to do with it.

Hey Guys,

Never assume the worst when it comes to misses or stutters.Always check the basics first.

1.Clean coils and check for cracks.Really check.Take coil cover off and look at night while reving engine.

2.Remove filter box and intercooler 90 deg. bends going through inner guard.Boost leaks will give same problem but usually in lower rev range.So look for cracks in rubber.

3.Anybody using a unichip will eventually find out the crank angle sensor does not like to share it`s signal for to long before it will develope a miss.It can also happen to non chipped cars to.

4.Check all vaccume lines against another car if your car has had a mechanic working on it.Check all wiring to.To the mechanics that are indeed professional I apologise.To all you other pretenders, go have alook at Croydon Motorsport Developement just for one day.

    • If I got a dollar for every flipped commuter missile I've driven past I'd have two dollars   Some people get into wild adventures on the road and I doubt it's gender or ethnicity specific. I'm just glad I don't usually drive during peak times.
    • Just got the car back and gave it a good run back home Power wise, whilst it only made a extra 5 killerwasps up top at 7200 rpm, it made more power everywhere from 2500 rpm and kept pulling much harder all the way, to the point of me relearning when to shift so I don't hit the 7200 limiter, with the old intake it seemed to take alot more time to rev out, and, throttle response is also much improved  As I didn't want to remove the bumper every time I serviced the air filter (basically every aftermarket and fabricated CAI has the filter behind the bumper) it currently has a hektic exposed pod in the engine bay sucking in hot air, this will be rectified shortly after some some of my CAD (cardboard assisted design) for a alloy heat shield feed by the OEM intake tube behind the bumper, this will cop some wrinkle black paint, as well as the intake pipe for that totally OEM look... The only fly in the ointment was that the OEM "strut" brace doesn't fit over the rear runner of the new intake with the 2.5 engine is in the engine bay, as the 2.5 raises the engine up by 20mm, it's not a war stopper, and I didn't notice any difference without it in some twisties, but....... MX5 Mania is bringing in some GWR "fancy pants" braces that apparently do fit, if it bolts up I'll grab it, it is also stiffer than the OEM one, which is a bonus All in all I'm happy with the outcome      Fancy pants "strut" brace that gives the required clearance      This is where the clearance issue was, the GWR extends out past this
