Question almost forgot

I Have also replaced the camshaft position sensor.....which the mechanic said was the problem in the first place....he also stated that the tach was shorting out and disconnected that as well....problem stopped happening....well for a couple months and is happening again

HI. If you haven't done it recently, pelpace the plugs and wires. It's a common area for Miata's to have trouble. Then, try locating ALL of the chassis grounds and make sure they are clean and TIGHT!! Give it a shot and report back. You can also (if you're not already a member) check out miata.net. Lots of VERY knowlegable people there.
