Author: Jeff Dooley Date: To: Miata Power Subject: Compression loss?
On the return trip home to San Diego the engine began to slowly lose power
and feel rougher under load.
There's no knocking or any other issues that I can hear. When I pull the
plug wires for cylinders 3 and 4 the engine idles the same.
Engine temps never got high and there isn't any smoke coming from the
exhaust.
I was planning on selling the Miata for a better traveling car since I'm
usually traveling 200+ miles.
I don't have the workspace to pull the engine and repair it.
Thinking about parting it out since I have so many modifications.
Any suggestions...offers....ideas?
TIA,
Jeff
