lawl that made me chuckle
It wasn't even that old. Clay popped the hood and I stood there for a good 40 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong. Checked all the lines and what not. I noticed a smell of gas and that I was burning more than usual so I kinda flipped thinking the injectors were leaking again. I told Clay "I think it's just bad gas." Sure enough..Kooldino said:
I was also flippin' because it has been non-stop rain lately and the Miata was swimming for a minute or so.
All is good now.

K-lea, do you have any recent pics of your progress? Wondering how the build is going?
I don't have anything new going on. I keep spending money on other things than the car. I have a lot of stuff going on right now and I'm trying to prioritize. That's not working out too well.
I just dumped away about $1400 this weekend. Just gotta wait until I get that money back. Won't be too long but in the meantime I'm learning more about this process and my "options."

Wont be too long to get $1400 back? I need to do whatever you are doing for money.

the same exact thing happened to me the other day after it rained. i filled it cause it was at a half tank and it all went away. it was the weirdest thing that ever happened. the car was acting like it had a vacuum leak.
same thing happen to you?

Pretty much. We'd give it some throttle (sitting there) and the car would just gradually go up in rpm's when we let off. Then, while driving it, the idle would drop and raise on it's own free will. When we sat at the gas station it idled at 3,200 then it would drop to 1k or so and go right back up slowly.
(This reminded me of the bad Xede EMS days, wooho! bad idles rock.)
My first thought was a leak but everything was good. Who did I resort to? Dana Service 24/7. He told me to check for leaks but I was like "erm.." I did again anyways..He mentioned something about the head and that's when I was like "Clay, I'm so over this damn car and all it's problems" so I started thinking about selling it again, haha.
(No, I'm not selling it..) Although, a Exige S is looking mighty fine right now..
