    Miata died and won't start
    My 2000 Miata started this morning and I drove about 10 feet and it just died and won't start again. The starter turns over and there is electrical power to all the accessories. The battery connections feel tight and look clean and the fuses under the hood all look good. I'm showing 3/4 tank of gas. Any ideas on what would cause it to suddenly die and not start again?

    . Test all under-dash and under-hood fuses with a test light or multimeter:

    . Test for codes--attach a scanner or code reader to the Data Link Connector under the dash.

    . Test for spark. If there's no spark, test/replace the Ignition Control Module/coil. Here's what it looks like:
