As you know, I bought a new Miata back on May 2nd and it hasn’t been as reliable as the old one…first the cd changer stopped working and couldn’t be fixed…then the driver’s side front brake caliper froze up and I had to replace it…only paid 70 bucks and it took about an hour to replace…then, last week the passenger side did the same thing so I had to replace that one that was only 63 bucks from Amazon…and it only took me 45 minutes start to finish…then Wed, while I was cooking the turkey on the grill, I decided to check out the slow starting and found that the positive battery cable was completely loose…and I’m hoping that the small amount of contact it was making was not charging the battery enough…so I tightened that up…the car was idling pretty rough so I had to figure out how to change the spark plugs which ended up being pretty easy and it made a huge difference…so after I tightened the battery cable I started the car and it immediately stalled but then fired right up like normal after that…I think the computer now has to learn everything again but I guess we’ll see after I drive it next but that won’t be till next week with the 5 inches of snow we’re getting tomorrow…back for a political one in a minute…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
