Hi Everyone! I am looking for a cheap ignition and fuelling solution for an SC project on an 1.8 NB. From AFPR to standalone ECU anything will be considered. Thanks, Gee

Hi, I have come across an awkward problem. My roadster, '95 - shy of 170k km has been acting strange. The plastic key, on the left, goes in the barrel and turns, but no lights turn on the dash. When I use the spare key on the right, the lights turn on and the car starts. I have had the car...

Yo guys, My car is abit sluggish to start sometimes, is this perhaps because I literally get in and turn the key to start the car almost instantaneously? I have a feeling I should wait five seconds or so to let the immobilizer kick in before starting or it will turn over for a few seconds...

Battery was flat thanks to a few months of no use. It cranked but not enough oomph to get it going. Jumped it from the second car, got it running happily and left it ticking over for a good fifteen minutes or so. Switched off and disconnected the leads, checked the Roadster to make sure she'd...

Morning all, I have a MX5 MK2 2001 1.8S. I have had some intermittent problems with it since summer last year. The car will start up from cold every time with no problems, once it has been driven to operating temperature and then turned off and left for roughly 30 minutes plus it wont start...
