Bad news everyone, the miata died. I was driving along and it quit. There's fuel pressure at the engine, in turns over just fine, there's good spark, but dry spark plugs. Is this a bad fuel injection relay? I don't want to just buy & try because its a 60 dollar part. Any ideas?

There's plenty of fuel pressure at the engine. I'd be shocked if a clog formed right at the fuel rail. I tried to pull off an injector plug to test it with the voltmeter, but i broke the plastic tab and didnt want to force it. The other 3 were just as stuck. I ordered a relay from Oreileys, they said i can install it and see if it works, if not i can return it as long as it "looks like it hasnt been installed."

Gas and spark = fire?
I really don't know how fire got out of the cylinders and into the intake manifold. But yeah the worst of it was some melting of the injector wires, and my pcv valve completely melted away. Wires are salvageable, new valve was $1.99. The fire was completely caused by us being idiots, not by a malfunction.

And so ends our days of not keeping a fire extinguisher on hands at all time.

Sure, we'd love to s̶e̶t̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶c̶a̶r̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶f̶i̶r̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶o̶ Help out.
Anyone know how to get the coil pack mount off? There's the two main bolts on the top and then some kind of weird long nut on the bottom, facing into the engine block, 2" from the firewall. Looks like its impossible to get at without pulling off the valve cover, or God forbid, the head. Or i could just do a firewall delete.

Club roadster question. I know you wont have to take off the VC or the head. It's probably welded on from the fire.
