Help Requested 1990 miata

Jun 11, 2004 6 Replies

Good afternoon everyone...Purchased a 1990 6,500 miles yes that is correct



65 hundred that was left abused for 2.5 years....prev owner left it out in the rain without a rear window...the rain filled the passenger compartment with 4 inches of water....ruining a lot... including the computer ..sigh...I have the new puter on the way...have replaced the fuel pump, plugs, fuel filter so we'll see if that clears the "check engine" light. keep your fingers crossed everyone please. Where can I find new carpet or should I just replace the backing/padding...also how do I get the radio code ? keeps flashing code on the screen and the prev owner is clueless as to what it is.

Good luck with all your repairs. As for the radio code, see

I'd be interested in the story behind that one. I mean, what would cause someone to retire or abuse any car after such short mileage?

Good luck, and may your final new roadster be a gem!

If you take the VIN number to a Dealer they will be able to get the radio code for you. Also, someone may have written the code number in an obscure place (like the instruction book!)

As Jim has pointed out, there is no panic required when the radio code is lost. There are simple instructions on how to fix this on miata.net
