    Idles Fine but dies at high rev. PLEASE HELP

    Try a different crank sensor?

    Starting issues - No / Doesn't / Won't Start - MERGED

    MPI and ECU were swapped out as well. No spark. The only thing left is wiring.

    timing belt issue

    .... Before you put the new timing belt on, and throw it all back together, you need to find out why the belt got locked... Drain the oil and look for flakes. My balance shaft bearings went dry, balance shaft stopped spinning, and locked up the whole motor. You need to find out what made it lock...

    Tips on my first DSM purchase?

    Think of why these cars seem to be unreliable...The owners. Mods usually reflect the owner. They guy has a Fast and Furious eclipse. I see no good coming from a car that was most likely owned by someone who doesnt keep up with maintenance, and doesnt care for the car, other than cosmetic...

    Just bought a 420a. I am looking for help.

    Like everyone else said. The 420a wont be able to make that much, reliably, unless you put a good amount of money into it. You can do some bolt ons to it. Maybe 2.5 inch Exhaust, Manifold, Intake, Bigger throttle body, maybe port a little, throw in a set of mild cams.But the way I always...

    Bad miss at 4500 rpms, running rough

    My money would be on the intake gasket.

    Starting issues - No / Doesn't / Won't Start - MERGED

    91 Laser AWD. No Spark. Fresh rebuild. Wired in SAFC 2. I changed out the CAS, PTU, coils, plugs, and wires, with known working ones. MPI/MFI fuses are good. ECU had no burn spots, or anything abnormal. CEL does come on. Its getting power to the CAS/PTU/Coils. It just wont spark. MPI clicks...

    Age of DSM Owners with Modded Cars

    20. Had 3 DSM's. 2 N/T, 1 4G. Rebuilt the entire car. Took it from non running, barely rolling, to it never wanting to stop going.

    p l e a s e help! Horrible Idle, seems like it's missing, not idle surge.. read me!

    Mine had an issue like this. It was a ground wire for me.But a good start would be to check the TPS/IAC/Crank&Cam Sensor. CEL's help alot if you got one.

    1997 gst car problem. Boost Controller

    Wastegate rod still attached? They seem to like to come off on me.You leak test it at all? Inspect anything?
  17. slickers111

    Suddenly dies

    MPI/MFI relay. Engine Fuse. Crank and cam sensor. Might as well pull the ECU out, inspect/smell the caps, make sure connections are tight and good, while also inspecting the wires.

    It got worse (clutch issues)

    Sounds like it wasnt bled. Meaning, the old cylinders could have let air get into the line, causing it do drop, then when you replaced the cylinders, you may not have bench bled them, then fully bled the lines.You were linked to a Proper Clutch Petal adjustment video on your intro page. After...

    turbo replacement.

    Fuel cut? Not likely.... At all. I second a boost leak..

    When does fuelpump whine?

    So the oil pan just broke, and the car shut off... wtf?

    Hard starts still continue please help!

    Id side with fuel pressure.

    Domestic cars

    Got a DOHC Taurus as a DD. Only had 2 'problems', which were maintenance items. Great car for me.
  24. slickers111

    New 95 tsi awd

    Most those codes are most likely from the modifications. Stock fuel system on a 16g probably isnt the best idea.Maintenance first.

    Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    Derp. First, find the leak. If its leaking, thats an issue in itself. Acidic sound? Boiling coolant? Bleed the system after you fix the coolant leak.

    Varying Clutch Engagement [Merged 1-9] bleeding air floor stuck grinding

    Hes talking about petal adjustment, which wont be your issue here. Youre probably getting air into the system. Check the slave cyl, and the lines from the master to the slave.

    Transporting a vechicle bought from a private seller?

    In this part of WI, you will receive a ticket if you put different plates on it. 'False display of Plates' Fine starts at $189. Here, you can just drive it on home with just the title. No plates, or bill of sale. As long as its dated, it wont matter.

    Not next to a V8, but close enough seeing as its a revive pic. DSM at the 'meet' or by some sweet cars. (2 at least)

    calliper pin broke off inside the caliper bracket..not sure which to purchase..

    Take it to a shop, have them heat it up, and pull it out. Happened to me also.

    comments on my new talon?

    I second buying a N/T, or a Honda. I drove the hell out of my 91 Accord. Only thing that went on it was the valve cover gasket. Didnt really have a N/T long enough to put any opinion on that. Only had it 3 months.
  33. slickers111

    bad valve seats?

    Jumping timing..

    Removed boost restrictor - still at stock boost

    The peak efficiency of that turbo is 15psi. Dont go over it.

    comments on my new talon?

    Id just stay away from DSM's.You cant afford the tranny rebuild.Come back when you have the passion, and willingness.
  37. slickers111

    comments on my new talon?

    The whole DSM forum hating you? Not really. What you did here, was stupid. Your craigslist post, was stupid. Your actions put you here man.Keep it, and make it decent, or sell it, and have nothing to do with the community anymore.

    Removed boost restrictor - still at stock boost

    ... Why not just do it right, and dont blow anything? Ive ran a cheap $14.99 eBay MBC for 3 years, and no problems. Get a new Boost gauge. You should know how much boost youre actually running.Is this the stock turbo you are on?
  39. slickers111

    Fair Service Prices

    Id change that timing belt out in 20,000 miles. And hope that the oil pump is a hit on the "hit or miss" scale. Id recommend an oil pressure gauge if you dont got one. Just so you know if something goes wrong.OP- If you dont know how to repair these things yourself, and have no one to teach...

    What is this car worth / Is this car a good deal?

    Should be posted in "The Hangout"Make sure theres fuel mods if hes running 20psi on a 16G. I saw no SAFC. If youre not a mechanic, and you get the car, better be prepared to become one. You will want to know all the mods done to the car, for reference on further mods/breakdown diagnostics...

    Say something about the person above you. Pt II

    Sees Im not even worried about it. At minimum, I can part it and double money easy.

    Say something about the person above you. Pt II

    Knows I have experience in rebuilding these motors. Should be no problem. If all else fails, Ill get a new bottom end, and call it a day!

    comments on my new talon?

    14B for $1,000... Seeing at its that high, I'll sell mine for $750... How are you gonna post on here asking us on what we think about it, and then sell it.Youre gonna be lucky to even get 1,000 for that thing... Change that ad. Post 1000 obo. You shouldnt even own the car... Maybe trade it for...

    Rough idle and no start

    Hmmm. Are your grounds on good shape? Thats all I can think of on that kinda situation.

    Rear hatch/spoiler delete

    The Talon and Eclipse hatches are the EXACT same(Never minding the wing/wing holes) I believe the stock Talon wing has 5 bolts holding it on, after you take off all the plastics. I taped over some(With sealant on the inside), and just threw the Eclipse high rise on.

    Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    The FMIC shouldnt cause the car to over heat, unless its blocking ALOT of the airflow. Ive never had a heat issue with my FMIC. Maybe a coolant temp sensor. They cause a bunch of weird issues with start ups, and heat.Seeing as the water pump, and the Thermostat are new, Rad was flushed, and...
