Good day to all.

I just picked up a Mariner Blue 90 Miata with 145,000kms (or 80,000 mi) on
it. It was extremely well maintained and the engine got regular shampoos -
looks and drives great. The timing belt was replaced at 110K kms and the
Idle Speed Control valve was also replaced a month ago (Boy, is that gizmo
expensive or what ?) at reputable Mazda dealer in the city.

I have a question regarding the oil pressure gauge, where should it normally
sit ?  At idle speed ? Revving at 45000RPM ? Since I have the Canadian
model, the gauge reads from 0 to 6 or 8 kg/cm2. I could not find any
references in the owner's manual....
