My GF has a 1999 Miata & I know there is at lease ONE Miata owner on here. I've never owned one but I have driven many of these little cars. We got one problem fixed but now on a less then perfect road the cat seems to hit one of these bumps & the RPM's drop almost to the point where it looks like it's going to stall. But it doesn't the revs climb back up & it keeps moving forward. Now I know these cars ride a bit low but I have never heard of this problem before. I have looked underneath the car & have found nothing hanging from what I can see. It ALMOST feels like something is bumping up again the flywheel.. maybe.




Any advice please!

Miata.net would be the best place to ask that question

I've been a member there for a while so long in fact that I have forgot my log in & password.

Too lazy to get another one. And today I don't feel like messing with getting another one.

So instead you are wasting your time here, where there might be a Miata owner to help you. At Miata.net there are likely a dozen who own the same year as your friend.

If I was in your situation. I think I would just make another username and password. Do you like your girlfriend enough to do that? It is her car than you're trying to help her with.
