1997 Mazda Miata Service and Repair Manual
Every figure in this factory service and repair manual is tied to the 1997 Mazda Miata as it left the line, this model year, this 1.8L four-cylinder and the trim you own, so a clearance, a torque value or a tightening sequence taken from it is what Mazda specified for the car in your garage rather than a number carried over from an adjacent year.

Known issues on the 1997 Miata. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it concerns exterior lighting: certain Pro-A Motors corner lamps, turn signals and headlights sold as replacement lamps include combination lamps that are not equipped with amber side reflectors and therefore fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment. Without the amber reflectors the vehicle will be poorly illuminated, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash without warning. Owners have filed 2 complaints for the year, and the factory procedure for diagnosing and repairing the lighting circuit is the one reproduced here.
From confirming that a replacement lamp assembly meets the original lighting specification to routine work on the 1.8L four-cylinder or the convertible body, it keeps you on the OEM procedure written for this exact 1997 Miata.
