SUBJECT:
My '91 Red Miata is approaching the 30,000 mile mark.  (I have a second
car).  I have had no problems with it whatsoever during that time.
The only maintenance I have done is regular oil/filter changes and
rotating tires.  Can anyone out there give me a good list of maintenance
which should be performed at the 30,000 mile mark?  Please take into
consideration that, although I am wise enough to have bought a Miata,
I am an amatuer when it comes to automobile maintenance.
Also, there is one very minor problem I am having.  Most of the time, when
I turn the key in the ignition there is an immediate response and the car
starts.  However, every once in a while I notice a slight delay where
nothing happens, as if there is no electrical power.
This delay is very slight, probably less than 1 second.  After this
slight delay the car will always start immediately as soon as it gets power.
I don't think the problem is in the starter, but possibly in
whatever is supplying power to the starter.  Anyone have any ideas on this?
Since I will most likely be taking my car in somewhere for 30,000 mile
maintenance, I would like to ask them to check this out and give them
some ideas of what to check.

Thanks,  Randy
