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
