Mine's gone AWOL so I need a new one - can these be had aftermarket anywhere? I will try Mania in the morning, but open to suggestions from the forum. I also need to get a set of injectors serviced and O ringed somewhere around Penrith area - anyone had any experience in that area? last two hurdles on my rebuild saga... engine is running beautifully on a borrowed sensor, and I can't wait to drive it!

Ball park figure
Bought a OEM one in May from Mazda
Cost me $150

Good luck finding a non genuine

BD,

MX5 parts UK sell the genuine Mazda one cheaper than Mazda Aus. It'll take 5 or so working days to get here though.

good news BigDog.
why is the Manual so Useless?
As far as the injectors go, might be time to give Josh a call. He's probably got contacts in the Penrith area. If you need Josh's mobile send me an PM. He's not with wholesale suspensions anymore.

Thanks all - UK have several weeks wait on these as they are out of stock. Moss want frightening money in the US so it looks like Mania or West End for me. I will give Josh a call in the morning re the injectors.

well if its only $150 for a Mazda one.....might be worth paying the extra few $

also I was under the impression it was the crank sensor......not the Cam sensor. Or Maybe I should just have my ears de-waxed.

Nope, you heard me correctly - I thought it was the crank sensor as Dave had tried my Cam sensor in his car and it worked fine - then. Unplugging it again must have been the straw that broke the proverbial, as he tried it again today and it was cactus, and putting his in mine fired straight up. I will have a really good look at it and see if I can repair it - the connector hangs off the side of the sensor and breaks off when you insert the plug too firmly without supporting the connector - mine's been broken ever since I've owned the car but it finally cried enough yesterday.

As to the manual, I have a disk based NB8A manual, doesn't have the VVT stuff in it hence my stuff up on the timing. I really should invest in a decent manual someday (he says after the event!).
