it wouldn't hurt to get a blackstone oil kit sent off to check for any contamination or excess metals in the oil.
What have you done to your P5 today?

That's a good point, and it did cross my mind while thinking about it this morning. It's mostly a question of cost though. But I will check it out.
I did order a new knock sensor, since it's already been on my list of things to fix and I needed to make a RockAuto order. I'm not assuming it'll fix anything, but it does eliminate it as a possibility.
Edit: I went on Blackstone's website and requested a free sample kit. Looks like it only costs $30 which is cheaper than I remember it being, so I will probably do that when it arrives in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for the idea INYOURCHAIR!

Not sure if this is the one he used, but this one is universal and I ran it on my 2008 MX-5.

I just ordered an ignition switch from MazdaSwag. It wasn't much more than the Standard or Beck/Arnley part on RockAuto. Got $2 off shipping using code "SWAG."

Nah, this is the one........3rdbrakelightflasher dot com....S1 universal, hook it up 3 different ways for slower or faster flash....$16.95. Have it on 3 vehicles. Works flawlessly. I think they have another version that you can change flashing somehow without rewiring.

yeah, they have 2 other models if you scroll down on that link....but only show the S1 available on their site. You might score one of the other models off ebay if you care about those extra features. Basic was and has been enough for my purposes.
ordered the key fob for mine and tried programming it. can get into programming mode but no response from the car when pressing the lock button twice, going to try and see if the remote even transmits tomorrow after work. From what I have read there may be a different fob for the 03.5 model which I believe mine is, will double check. I did find the module and investigated it for damage, failed capicitors and cold/broken solder joints and corroded pins, it looks OK. Also called around trying to find a windshield replacement but one of the suppliers is down and the others don't stock it. failing the windshield replacement I will be ordering a few other things like the tribute wiper stalk for the wiper delay and the tribute washer nozzles. warmer weather permitting the pass floor leak will get fixed hopefully, I got it down to a few ounces in a night of rain, down from the near full floor pan it would produce when the side drains were plugged 
.
.mine has the three little nozzles and the tribute ones look like they will spray in a flat fanned out pattern, I came across it when I was looking into the wiper delay, they are around 4usd each online. Btw I saw a comment of yours about the wiper stalk being a little pricey, I have came across a few used ones for under $20 with free shipping. as for the year I am just typing 2003 in the search. but I imagine any year of the first gen will work.
I will post a little update when I get the stalk installed, grabbed a used one for $18+ free shipping.
the tribute one I grabbed has the rear as well. It was odd how it looks identical to my current one minus the delay adjust ring. I remember seeing a different steering wheel installed on a P5 but I don't remember what model they swapped from, my leather is damaged and someone looks to have raged and broken the plastic where it's supposed to release the air bag. No light on the dash, it does illuminate during POST though.
Part of the problem is paying in Canadian dollars, and free shipping usually doesn't apply to Canada.
My stalk shipped from Quebec.
I think that I paid about $40 Canadian?
My wiper stalk ended up being from a Ford Escape.
(I don't recall how I knew it would fit?)
For anyone that doesn't know,...
You can adjust the aim of your spray by sticking a needle in the nozzles and moving them.

I tried that on my spectra that I traded for this one, I ended up worse off than before.
Yeah, it was a PITA.
It's really touchy.
It would either spray over the windshield or straight into the wiper blade with the wipers parked.
It took my about ½ an hour to finally get it spraying half decently.
