No offense, but this shot gun approach is a silly way to make repairs.
Your car does not have a crank sensor.
Might want to do some reading and research on your own.
Cam angle sensor.
Multi tester. Continuity and resistance.
More OEM+ upgrades.
I’m approaching 115k. Typical failure for the fuel pumps is between 100-150k. Proactively replacing it is the game. They are priced well (~$150) and really pretty easy. They...
There is a big fuse on the right side fender fuse box.
If you are hearing the pump prime when you turn the key, something else is going on.
Fuel comes into the engine bay at the right side. You...
If you hear it priming, it’s probs something else.
Can you describe how it died initially and what it is currently doing (crank, no fire etc)
By fuel pump relay, do you mean the one under the hood, or the big one up under the dash?
+1 Test the circuits 1st.
Step 1: Park outside
Step 2: Locate and put a fire extinguisher nearby outside the car.
Step 3: Loosen gas cap to relieve the pressure in the tank. This prevents...
New lighting control module!

This controls all the lights in the car, the photo sensor, the rain sensor, the...
Goodness.
Checking leakdown and bores would have provided more info to troubleshoot initially.
Good luck!
Brake calipers. I had an intermittent, instantaneous pull under braking. Knowing the suspension is 100%, it was one of the calipers. I had this issue on my M3 back in the day.
Centric remans were...
Have you scoped the bores?
Also are you running a catch can? I have used cans to monitor blowby. Sometimes the PVC system just doesn’t work like it should and can offer paths to diagnosis.

Here you go!

You are monitoring coolant temps not necessarily cooling efficiency. I have witnessed testing contrary to your info on race cars and my own street cars in multiple climates.
Congrats on the purchase.
The undertray is, in fact, important to the cooling system. It also helps keep water out of the engine bay electronics (the electronics in the NA and NB Miatas are not...
Here are some photos from my drive to the mountains.
These are on Tail of the Dragon, taken all within 30 minutes at different locations. You can see what I was driving through in that time.

The red and black accents on this car are lovely.
What do you do with a car after working on it? Shake it down!
I woke up the next morning after the driveline fluids were done and really didn’t have anything important to do, so I went for a...
113039 miles, according to the records, the trans and diff fluid were done about 60k miles ago. This should be the last of the major service to reset the car (Woot!).
Diff fluid: Valvoline...
Knocked out these after dinner tonight. Just another OEM+ upgrade that eliminates 17 year old parts, resets a critical system, and future-proofs this car for some track use.
Some fresh Ate 200 and...
The loop pile on the early NAs? I would bet that would be a custom job, but none of "kits" I've seen were that great.
Flattery gets you nowhere sir, but I appreciate it. ;)
