Guys, I know, I know, I know this is NOT a general Mazda group. I do own a 93 Miata but hey, it's not giving me close to the grief my 929 is. Last night, my 1992 929 (Only 112k miles) was reluctant to start. Engine turned over slowly, then started. Went to the store. Came home. About a 15 mile trip round trip. Hard to go run another errand later... Nothing. Engine acted as if the battery was dead. However, all the lights etc were working fin in the cabin. Turned the key, nothing from the engine. Put the jumper cables on it from my Miata and let it run for a while. After about 1/2 hour, the 929 cranked slowly at first, then started. Today, I got in the 929 and she cranked right up. Ran about 25 miles down the interstate, stopped to eat lunch in a small town and here I sit three hours later. I've tried getting it jumped off. I've checked and cleaned the terminals on the battery. I've walked to Napa and purchased a replacement battery. Nothing did any good. The car is acting like it's not getting enough current to start the engine. I have no one to come get me. So come on guys, please lend me a hand (Or brain :-).
Thanks, Emmette Faulk
