2 things:
Recently my Miata has had problems starting. When it does start it would suddenly "die". It usually happens when the car has not been used for at least 2 days. Sometimes it would take several attempts to start and when it does I would usually have to accelerate for a few minutes to keep the rpm to at least 1000 or else it would drop and the car would shut down again. After accelerating for a few minutes the car becomes fine and stays idle at around 900-1000 RPM. Its becoming more of a problem now because last night as I took off from the parking lot my car had a hard time accelerating pass 10 mph and that I felt the car was about to die on me as I was driving.
Second problem is that my engine is leaking oil. I always have to dry off my spark plugs. Anybody know where the problem might be from??
I'd appreciate if anyone can tell me where the origin of any of these two problems. THANKS!
