I finally got my Mazda Miata in the form of SE 2002 6 speed and it was perfect last summer except when I didn't twist the gas cap on all the way. That cost me $45 for a diagnostic test and now my engine light is on again but the gas cap is on tight this time. I don't want to be taking my car to the garage all the time for engine lights. I checked the fluids and everything seems to be ok. I'm just a girl who happens to like convertibles and has had a 1972 Corvette T-Top and a 1972 MGB in my past. The reason I chose the Miata is because I read an article in a Consumer Guide that said that they were great little fun cars that held their value. Does anyone have any other ideas that I could check out before I drag my cute litte car to the garage again?
