Ignition Leads
Workaround - None. Maintenance DIY-replacement at 5-7yrs.
Symptoms
Like Miata/MX5, symptoms are running rough at idle, missfiring, poor
power & hesitation through the rev range. Electrical discharge through
the side of the cables may be observed. 50k-70k miles, or 5-7yrs.
Solution
Replace as a complete set. Failed leads can shorten life of
distributor coils and Oxygen sensors.
