Mazda Miata: cut out on left turns.

If you have a J&S or MSD, they are the first to check IMHO. One
of the connectors of my J&S failed. Bingo, car stalled. Very
unpredictably too.

Independent shop finally isolated the problem and took the J&S
out of the circuit, thinking it was a car alarm. Bingo,
*major* knock with timing at 14 BTDC and 6 psi boost.

The short may only show up if inertia force is in a given direction.
Just a wild guess, though mine behaved like it needed deceleration.

My '94 bone stock C package Miata is exhibiting the same symptoms. Seems to
also be related to underhood operating tempratures. Only on left turns does
it cut out completely.
At operating temperature running staight ahead I get momentary cutouts
around 4500- 5000 rpm.
I thought that the MAF sensor had gone bad (before I noticed the stalls on
left turns problem) so I replaced it.
New fuel filter about 1500 miles ago.
Anyone see this, more to the point, has anyone cured this?
Thanks
