1.      I have a 94 Miata M series with 120K on the odometer. This car is in
very good condition. I got it this summer and have driven it a lot. I t had
the lifter clatter on cold start up and I have stopped this with Mobile 1
0w30w synthetic. I have changed the trans and diff to Mobile 1 synthetic
also. The plugs and wires were changed to NGK approximately 5K ago.  Just
within the last 1K it developed an loping idle this does not happen all the
time, and there does not seem to be a pattern. The last time it occurred I
looked under the hood and thought I could here a spark jump. However, I
could not find one and it has not done it since that time.   Does anyone
have any suggestions?
2.      Also I have a question about the differential. I lifted the car and
turned one wheel and the other turned in the opposite direction. This would
indicate an open differential. However, when I turn tight, left or right,
and punch it on gravel both rear tires spin. Also if I have one tire on
gravel and one on asphalt they both grab or spin. To me this would indicate
a LSD. Any advise?
