I've seen a similar problem reported a few times on the Miata list. It
seems to often be related to the O2 sensor not staying warm enough.
There are sensors available with a built in heating element to keep
them up to temp. They've got 4 wires and you have to wire the extra
wires to a 12V source and ground, but they seem to solve the problem
for many people.
I have no personal experience with them.
