Cam belt seems fine.
Car has an alarm but no idea if it has the ability to kill the engine.
How does one get access to the fuse panel inside the car?
Appreciate any input.

Can anyone tell me if this might've been a interference causing a electrical smell? I noticed that when I put it in 2nd gear it didn't seem to have the power it usually has, this was before the smell.
Of course once I saw the tool & took it out, I drove it back home, ran it for 5 min looking to see if wires were touching or if I could see smoke. Smell is gone from the engine & seemed to run fine, but I had to leave the windows open to air out. Any thoughts would be great! thanks :sick:
I use and recommend Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50 snow tires, available from the Tire Rack on steel rims for about $500 shipped. I like to drive in the snow and haven't had trouble getting around my area in the Miata with Blizzaks. Note that the snow handling of the Miata is very different from a front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive car. The tendency of the car to oversteer in snow is pretty pronounced, so you have to drive cautiously.
I put a 60-pound bag of sand in the trunk when I mount the snow tires, but I don't think it makes a really big difference. I like having a hard-top for the winter.
Now a question for you. How do you compare the '06 to the '96? I've driven the '06 and the new '07 with PRHT, but I'm not sold. Am I missing something?

It could be the EGI relay. If not working, the car will not crank and run.
The key may have lost its memory.
The latter of the three above mentioned possibilities have been experienced by me!!!!
Thanks!
