So lemme get this straight......the return line comes off the regulator and feed line goes directly to the rail?

Well....now there is an aweful tick in the head/cam area....figures there would be something....idled it for about half hour and no change....almost sounds like stuck lifter.

Check engine light still on too.

Set the timing and idles nicely....rev it a bit and let off and the backfire pops make cool looking smoke rings. Of course after engine warmed up that went away....34 degrees i believe.

Obd1 or 2, if its two get the codes read. the ticking is a common miata thing. Change the oil 10w30, throw some oil stabilizer in it. Should stop after a while.
