Good luck with the new sensor!
Duct (Quack) tape aside, I had to bite the bullet and go back to stock
ignition, (no parts for the "spitfire coil over", the supplier didn't
bother
to call me back). Either one coil over is intermittent, or the control
unit
has a problem. The symptom is one that generally points to a failing
power
VFET or a poor connection inside the coil. Naturally, one of the original
reasons for going to the "Spitfire" was that the stock ignition was acting
like the coils had the dreaded Miata coil pack disease.
Frabjous Joy! Replacing the stock coil pack is no fun. Since I forgot to
order the rubber bu****ng at the bottom of the assembly, I had to mount the
new coils on the old bracket. Besides that the behind engine clearance was
such that none of my socket wrenches fit, so I ended up getting a new
socket
and adapter to use a smaller ratchet with the correct length and size
socket. Had to wear gloves to keep from cutting up my hands as I'm very
adept at finding all the sharp edges the hard way.
