Pulled the tape off the CAS and the damn wires just fell out of the butt connectors. I did not like the ones that came with the FM kit and this is why. Now I need to go to advanced and purchase the kind I like because I only have one left.

yeah that is probably be it. I had my car die out on the highway, after a wire broke from the connector
Solder & heat shrink
IT'S ALIVE !!! I need to get timing straight but after rewiring CAS my Miata fired right up no hiccup.
Congrats!
Thanks. im still scared to drive it more than around my block because of some noises I'm getting but if I do get it strait tomorrow I will come to meet. Right now its dead heat of the day. I look like a damn lobster alleeady so once it cools down out I will take a better look at things plus my car ran a bit. Will let it settle and check for leaks as well.
I would recommend solder those connections and shrink wrap them James just so you know that they won't come undone and be exposed.
This! I threw out the connectors FM sent right away and just soldered/shrink wrapped everything.Quote:

That brings me to my next question when I push clutch all the way to the floor and put it in gear. soon as I move my foot a little to release it the car is in gear. I purchased a lightweight flywheel and stage1 1.6 clutch so I guess it pertains to people that have that setup. I did gravity bleed today and it did not change. new master new slave and new 949 extended clutch line installed as well.
Gravity bleed isn't always useful. Sounds like there is air in it.
NC club is gettin 'R' done, let see some photos in this thread so member dont have to search that huge NC meet thread you guys have, LOL

There is link to my build thread. It has pics :)
It is only one page so not long at all and it shows car when I first got it all of one year ago.
Guess i should have followed the thread to page 2...
congrats on solving the problem
Gravity bleed is useless...the hardline from the clutch master goes UPWARDS...then across ..then down to the slave...gravity only drains the second portion of the system...leaving a huge bubble...the Motive power bleeder is the most used tool in the Club tool stash...but not cheap. if you have an air compressor and blowgun, just blow air across the top of the reservoir thru the vent with the bleeder at the slave open...this will force the fluid out of the complete line...being very careful to close valve before stopping airflow and do not let the clutch master run dry. It works...
Adjust the rod with two nuts on it under the dash at the top of your clutch pedal. giggity. but no, really, adjust your clutch pedal
