Part of our series covering in detail everything you need to know about the different Mazda Miata generations. This one covers the "NB2" generation (01-05 model years) this video is a bit shorter than our other videos so please check out the NA6, NA8 and NB1 videos which cover much more detail on components that are common between the generations. Thanks for watching!

Good electrolytic capacitors that are kept cool may last 20-30-40 years so ECU failures like that will start being more common, but the capacitor is easily replaced. Interesting video, thank you.

What's that big black round thing at the driver's side of in front of the clutch master cylinder reservoir?

[@immortanautomotive9221]

That’s the cruise control actuator, it uses vacuum pressure to move the throttle cable. Please subscribe to help us build our channel!

Not every nb2 has vvt ! Only the nb2 with the 1.8 engine

[@immortanautomotive9221]

You’re right! Maybe I should say in the video it’s based on North American models

Dump the stupid music. I had to use close caption. There's no need for it. It still was a good video.

[@immortanautomotive9221]

Yeah I’ve been trying different techniques, appreciate the feedback!
