OK. . .ended up washing and detailing my car tonight [yeah, pretty sad that this was my only excitement on a Friday night. . .sometimes it sucks being single (sad2) ] anyhow, realized i needed tire cleaner so decided to run down to autozone and have them also read the 'check engine' code...

Hey, thanks! So far the Simple Green is working out well. With all this fantastic advice I am getting from the Forum, my soft top will soon be looking great!

Finally had a chance to check in the driver compartment, and found the OBD2 plug just as you described! Again, thanks! You're awesome! (2thumbs) Might have some fun with the gearheads at autozone this weekend. . .and, no, not 'cause I'm mean. . .just playful. :) BTW, forgot to tell you...

Hey, thanks for info. Today I tested the Simple Green. . .didn't remove the stains completely, but definitely looks a lot better. Held off on the bleaching solution as I am hesitant to put something that strong on the soft top. Will look into the Raggtopp as well. . .can I get that at...

Picked up some Simple Green last night. Will get to work on the soft top this weekend. I'll also spot test a small area with the bleaching solution to see if this helps, too. Thanks for the great advice!

You're awesome! You saved me some bucks. I owe you big time. I was dreading having to go back to the dealer. Thanks for the info and the pics really help! I will check it out, as you described. Thanks again. . .

Check engine light kept coming on this week so I decided not to wait any longer and stopped by autozone tonight. OK, good news and bad news. . . Bad news first. . . autozone's OBD II code reader won't work with my 2002 MX-5. The connector is located under the hood, not underneath the...

No, I have not tried Simple Green. Picked up 'Blue Magic' Convertible Top Cleaner at Discount Auto, but that was a waste of time and money. Not sure if the carpet cleaner will work on my top. . .it's vinyl, not cloth. Thought about using a bleaching solution, but was worried that this would...

I am really bummed because the tan soft top on my 2002 MX-5 has these ugly black stains. . .probably mildew, but more stubborn. Dealer who sold me the car could offer no suggestions on what to do about it. I tried using an off-the-shelf convertible top cleaner, but got no results. Other than...

Looking forward to meeting you, too, and other Mazda owners. Though my silver MX-5 is not much to look at right now. (sick) Need to pretty her up. . .hence my search for the fog light and luggage rack. But that's just a starting point. Hopefully, I will get some ideas at Winterpalooza...

Me, too. I dread going to the dealer. Especially when they 'dumb down' their talk because I am female. I plan to stop by my local autozone this weekend to have them read the engine code. Hopefully, it will be something straightforward that I can take care of without going to the dealer...

Hey Billy, I am new to the Mazda Forum, too. Actually, I am also new to Mazda. In summer 2005, I bought a 2002 MX-5 as birthday present to myself and just paid off the loan this past year. Yeah! Now I am eager to fix up my 'toy' and get her looking sweet. So I am very much looking forward to...

Definitely! This will be my first one. Bought my MX-5 last year (birthday present to myself!) and just paid off the loan. Yeah! Now I am eager to fix up my 'toy' and get her looking sweet. So I am very much looking forward to meeting other Mazda owners in Central Florida to get some ideas...

Oops! My bad! Sorry. . .just joined the Mazda Forum and still learning how to navigate all these different subforums and threads. Thanks for the info! (drive)

Hmm. . .I have about 36K on my car. I will get the code checked autozone, as you suggested. Hopefully, that will solve my problem. Last visit to the dealer cost me over $700. Thanks for the advice! (drive)

Hi All, I am looking for a replacement fog light (passenger side) for my 2002 MX-5. While on the topic of parts, I also would be interested in finding out how much it would cost to replace the luggage rack installed on the trunk lid. . . chrome finish is starting to peel. Does anyone know of a...

check engine light. . .revisited I have had the same problems with my 2002 MX-5. Light comes on for a few days. Then nothing. Took it to the dealer and ended up having to replace the O2 sensor (downstream) and fuel filter. But guess what? A couple days later the check engine came back on...
