After trying to be a member on a few Miata forums, all I've figured out is 99.9% are internet thugs. Not really car guys, I feel like they just jump on the coat tails of others. They have opinions, but have nothing to backup their way of thinking... Lol.
I can't stand them
I'll have better luck coming to a forum with intelligent people even though it's not a platform they are not familiar with.
Stock Ecu, Mafs, injectors, etc
The car has done this since I owned it...... After sitting all night, when I start her up in the morning and start to drive her she will start to miss horribly just before becoming fully warmed up. She'll throw a tantrum for maybe 10-15 seconds and then she will idle/drive fine. The only other time she will start to miss out is when I give her more than 1/4 throttle..... The video doesn't show the cold miss since I had already driven her that day and she only does that after sitting over night. If it was just under heavy load then I would think it was running out of fuel, but since it does the same thing when warming up at idle...????.... There are also quite a few stock miatas running 5psi with no issues.....So far I've replaced:
New Plugs NGK bkr7 @.025" (two steps cooler than stock)
New NGK blue wires (everyone swears by these wires)
New Coil packs
Swapped the CAS with one from a good running car
Checked/clean grounds in engine bay
fuel pressure gauge hooked up (pressure is steady during miss)
Wiggle all the wires/connectors
Check timing
The only codes the Ecu is throwing are for the egr and purge solenoids (previous owner removed and blocked off). I am curious if the stock Ecu will cut fuel if the Mafs reads too high of voltage or something???? From what I've read it doesn't. I have bigger injectors and an AEM but don't want to add those until I have a good running car with no issues ( I don't want to over complicate things by adding possibilities). Sounds like a hard cut right (spark cut)?????
Any ideas?

Re: Anyone have Miata experience? (Misfire video and questi
I can't help with your Miata's problem; I just got one myself. As for forums, did you try Miata.net? I posted a question there and they were pretty nice. I stay away from Miata Turbo altogether. I browse Club Roadster but probably wouldn't post there. I've bought parts from MiataRoadster.com and had excellent experiences so if it's related to MiataRoadster.net, then you might have luck there.

I'll have to give that a try.... The only Miata forum I'm apart of is Miata turbo.
