My 1991 Miata has developed a quirk when starting. When I engage the starter the engine will turn over but will not fire. If I stop spinning it and then try the starter again, it will start right up. It does this intermittently, but it is becoming more frequent. It happens more often when the engine is cold or warming up.
My hunch is that it's electrical. It almost seems like a relay is sticking or something. I have not tried anything specific to diagnose or fix it yet. (I have had very little time for the garage lately)
Has anyone encountered this before?
Any suggestions about where to start when diagnosing it?
Thanks I appreciate any guidance you can provide.
