So I bought a 96 Eagle Talon AWD last Sunday. I have some general questions and possible problems.
1. When I start up the car, it will idle at 800 for a second and then dip to 500 for a few and then back to 800. Is this normal? Sometimes it will go from 600-800. I have no A/C.
2. I was running the run of the mill autometer boost gauge yesterday, and then swtiched it out to a Lunar one. I just changed the boost gauge-nothing else. Just screwed in the boost gauge to the existing nut, but now my boost is different. I am only hitting 10psi in first, whereas before I was hitting 13ish. I have a JoeP MBC set at 15. I can't hit 15 anymore in second, and only for a second in third... According to the old one I could.
3. The engine slightly stumbles when in boost. When I say slightly, I am talking about me being very parinoid, but still it does. It this normal?
4. Lights are really dim. It had Ebay projectors on when I bought it. I also came with a 97-99 bumper as well. I am going to need some bolts for the bumper (where to buy them?) and some bulbs for the projector housng. Same as stock housing? And where to get some? I suppose the sylvia lights are good.
5. Clutch pedal squeeks. Don't know if this is a problem, but better be safe than sorry. :laugh:
Thanks guys, I appriciate this a lot.
