1 Ignition problem

Failure Date: 08/08/2004

The coil pack has failed on my 1999 Mazda Miata with less than 42000 miles. My information is that there was a recall on 1999 Mazda proteges for the coil pack failure and that the Miata part is identical except for the mounting bracket.

2 Ignition problem

Failure Date: 03/05/2003

While driving, the coil pack would cut off, leaving the engine with only 2 operating cylinders. This would happen at any time, but usually when trying to gain speed, necessitating pulling off the road so as to not get hit from behind.
