Hello fellow miata lovers,

another quick question about my lovely car.  i have a '95 with
36K miles on it.  I live in Boston, and I've noticed that, as
it's gotten colder, my car makes a funny noise while idling.
It's kind of a chirpy noise, and the engine doesn't sound very
smooth.  I've done the 30K tune up things, and i've been thinking
that if i can't identify this problem, i'm going to have to take
it to *gulp* a mechanic... *sniff*  I thought originally it was
something with the clutch fork, as advised by a few of you, but
the noise comes now even when the clutch is in.  Any words of
wisdom?

Thanks!

Marisa
