The one notorious problem with the early Miatas -- that I know of --
is crank failure. The timing gear gets loose on the nose of the
crank, and wobbles, giving highly erratic valve timing -- which can
give all kinds of weird symptoms. Try wobbling the crank pulley by
hand. If you can, you've found the problem. The only fix is a new
crank, but can be stuck together with a lot of loctite to last for a
decent amount of time.
