Battery tested good and I took the alt in and it's good. The previous owner was a good friend and he had just replaced the fuel filter in hopes it would fix the problem. The car will run fine off starting fluid so it's a fuel problem somewhere. I'm thinking its the regulator but I don't want to...

I just bought a 93 plymouth laser 1.8. When I get the car to start, it dies immediately after. It won't idle on its own unless I pump the gas a little it will idle up, but if I give it too much it'll died.My generator light, battery light and brake light are on all the time. Would this have...

chances are since this being your first time getting in BIG trouble, most charges will be dropped to a waaaaaaay lesser charge (if you get a lawyer). the felony charge will get dropped man. theres worse things people have done who supposably get felony charges and they always get dropped for a...

like i said, you have to take them off no matter what or they will be damaged when taking the piston off the rod

you will have to take rings off and you might as well just get new ones, but i guess old ones will work if you dont break them getting them off

bro sorry to hear about the engine. ive had it happen to me after a couple hundred miles , but mine was due to a faulty clutch, it detonated and spun mains instead of rods. from what ive read, no matter if they are oem new rod bolts or arps, u still have to get rods honed cause they are not...

oils to thick. try a lighter weight oil

i have called lots of times. when and if you find out thats his email let me know please

does anyone know how to get ahold of anyone from thedsmgraveyard.com. ive called the number on there site many times and it tells me to put my phone number in and a pass code. its making me think somethings wrong with the number on the site. any help would be great

bro from the video it sounds like u have a compression problem. the rings are shot or you bent your valves. it sounded like your motor was turning over waaaaaaay to easy. do a compression check

k thanks. im going to be doing it myself

im need to know where i can get a good hone for a standard bore 4g63t

what all is done to the car.

ahh ive built a few, not 4g63s but i built a srt4 motor for my 96 neon and i built a single sohc all motor for my other neon a couple years back. its nothing to far out of my league lol

dude somethings up in your combustion chamber. my moneys on the valves being bent

I know for sure timing is in, I think its the rings though. I'm getting ready to check now, I'll keep everyone who helped updatedStarting from cylinder #1 120, 150, 135, 140 :cry:.Now I'm in a bad mood. Thanks to all who helped

no its pretty steady. my next thing i am going to check is compression. i really hope thats not it though. ill keep everyone posted

i think your best bet if allens dont work, use a pipe wrench.

i am using a timing light and i did use white out for a more visible reading on timing marks, so im not guessing, im doing everything right

maybe 10 psi. its an automatic. and from my understanding it should be way higher than that.and cas isnt exactly center but, pretty darn close

it bounces around 8* to about 15*, nothing steady

well i found out why my wideband has been reading so far off (needed recalibrated). with that fixed i was going to set my base timing. when i ground the timing plug the car will not run what so ever, it will start but die immediately after. can someone tell me what going on and why its doing...

ok i redid my cylinder head a couple months ago and still havent got it running right. i burnt my tuned chip up a while back so now im trying to get it to run with the maft. if i leave everything zeroed it runs extremely rich, but if i set my base and aux to my injector size it runs extemely...

i seriously cant even drive it to get a log (hardly wants to move) and if i could drive, i cant load it to my computer to show u whats its doing. i dont think it PK at all. my WB jumps all over the place at idle as well. its weird, it was fine before. i just dont understand

its all in my profile

when i first start my car it runs rich as it should, but even after its been running for 15 min its still really rich. now the messed up thing is that when i try to drive it i get really high knock counts in and out of boost (2k rpm). ive did a blt to 15 lbs and it takes about 1min to bleed most...

+1^, thats exactly what i was going to say

its definately the lifters. i just rebuilt my head and put 3gs in it and it did that for about 20 min or so. just let it idle and after a while u will hear em shut up 1 by one

well i know the fwd and awd ring gears are different and if you have the wrong starter, it will cause binding

check the CAS. it could be 180 out or just going bad

also check the cas. mine car was doing this for months and couldnt figure it out for the life of me. i some how managed to put the cas on 180 out

i dont know if it matters, but i think awd and fwd starters a different (make sure it isnt a FWD starter). there are alot of idiots at autozone and theyve been know to screw up alot and give people wrong stuff.

also if you spun some type of bearing there will be metal shavings in your oil pan. drain your oil, but take a red shop towel and filter the oil. when its all drained look at the towel and see if you see any type of glittery metal shaving. if there is, then pull the pan and change rod bearings...

well the stock o2 sensor was bad. i just replaced it and everything ocsolates now. now when i rev it or try to should i say, it revs to like 2500 and back down and keeps doing this not matter how much gas i give it

its not doing anything, its constantly staying at .05

ok i went out and looked at my logger and my stock 02 is reading .05v. is this right

its a innovative lc-1 wideband with a moates led display, so its not a cheap one lol. im thinking its a bad 02 cause with the exhaust unhooked (meaning no exhaust flow through the sensor, it is giving the same readings). any other suggestion are welcome and thanks to all who are helping.

fellas, i know that. ive let it run for like 20-30 min and its been like 106 degrees outside so i shouldnt even take that long to warm up. it never did this before i installed the cams. what are the symtoms of a bad 02 sensor.

i installed BC 272 cams along with springs and retainers. i also added adj. cam gears, thats it. when i start my car my A/F reads 12.3 and doesnt move at all. can anyone tell me why my cars ,or should i say why my wideband is doing this. i have an eprom ecu and i had the chip tuned before i did...

im getting a really high count knock on my knock sum gauge. it was fine before i added BC 272s. is there anything i should look at as to why im getting knock so high. when i say high, i mean maxed

also make sure u have the right firing order, my buddies 91 was doing this and he couldnt figure it out for 2 years until i helped him work on it

i had my car do this too, i made a heat shield for it and problem solved. thats just from my experience though. you may have a different problem

looks good to me as well, but the crank gear looks like its a a half tooth off, but it could be the camera angle too. good luck.later jesse

Photos here. Looks like parts of a crush washer to me. Was it IN the pan or did it fall into the drain pan during an oil change?

sound like you found your problem. time for a HG change

check the TPS (throttle position sensor). it sounds like your culprit

he being in Miami, FL wouldnt have that prob near as bad as say you and i (indiana). it can get pretty cold around here and that would effect us bad. after a few tries his car would or should finally fire up. it would run like crap until it was warmed up but would still start. i agree with above...

i had the same exact problem, but i have a MAFt and if i would unplug it it would idle. i found out my IAT was set too high so it was lean and just dieing. i dont know about the safc and if it has the function to change the IAT but check that out. hope that help a little.jesse

yes a cat would cause this, but also check your TPS sensor

get on fullthrottletech.com and search there. you will probable have better luck there man, and hows the car going
