All,
Here's a new twist. Today--in the middle of the busiest intersection in
the area--the car decided to buck and die as I was beginning to pull away from
the light. Not only did it do this, it threw a CEL that actually stayed
on (no flashing, just stayed on for the 3mi drive home).
The CEL: a P0340 - CMP Sensor Circuit Malfunction
Besides the CEL, I noticed something interesting. At the light previous,
I noticed what I could have sworn was clutch slip for just a bit before
everything finally bit and the car moved forward. It got me
thinking...this car has had a clutch that operated quite unlike both of my
previous Miata's clutches and the clutch in my Civic. What I'm thinking
is that clutch shudder/judder could be to blame. Can someone describe it
to me? Is it possible that the clutch violently slipping could be causing
the drivetrain to "juke" enough to cause what are basically timing
errors? Can I still get the clutch replaced under recall?
