    Serious shifting problems

    Reach your hand under the dash on the drivers side and see if there is any fluid on the clutch master cylinder boot. If there is any, you may have a leak. May not be real low on fluid but it can suck air into the system and create a similar problem.

    Considering leaving the dsm world

    I must talk about my dilemma... I don't know who else to turn to. I use my 90' eagle talon tsi as a DD. As many of you know they are not exactly the most reliable vehicles. I no longer have the option to borrow cars or get rides to work in a no-vehicle situation. So, regrettably I'm considering...

    Boost leak - EGR valve

    By chance does anyone know which nipple closes/opens the valve?

    Boost leak - EGR valve

    Okay that sounds good and all but doesn't it need vacuum to operate the valve and avoid leaking into the manifold?

    Boost leak - EGR valve

    Hopefully this will be easily answered... I removed my emission controls and changed my vacuum line set-up. My question is: I do not have an egr block-off plate, should i just run vacuum lines from the two nipples on the egr valve to the throttle body?

    no spark and no fuel, Stumped...

    Is your CAS sensor plugged in? and check the small wires for corrosion going to the connector.

    What did you do to your DSM today?

    Put 275 miles on my fresh rebuild and replaced a clutch slave cylinder.

    Over Gear Sensor

    Im going to guess that the tranny is junk and he's just saying that to ease your mind. If you buy It, I'd go into it expecting to replace the transmission. But, 900$ still isn't too bad...

    Engine Noise / Ticking, Knocking, Tapping MERGED

    It is my personal opinion that you are rubbing your front cover. most likely with your TB or a gear.

    Aggravating A/C leak

    Ive never done the dye thing myself I've pretty much never used a/c on any car ive ever owned lol. I'm sure a good question is how much $. I tend to go the cheap route lol.

    Aggravating A/C leak

    I wouldn't, sometimes silicone can come loose and go place you don't want it to. Same thing with teflon tape, i've seen people use it on transmissions and it ruined their week lol. Then I get a good twenty minutes of rubbing it in their face "why would you even use that on compression fittings...

    There's dating and there's my DSM

    LOL okay I read this when it was first posted and really didn't feel like reading the 7 pages.... but has he even taken her out yet? It's been almost a month. Hell my brother is 27 and started dating a 17 year old it went good for him, she is 18 now but that's besides the point. I say go for it...

    Aggravating A/C leak

    Okay, Is it obviously coming from that spot? If so you could try pulling that plate with the o-rings off and take a sanding block to the front of it to make sure it is flat. Maybe take like .001" off with the sanding make sure where the o-rings lay in there is nice and clean take a little oil to...

    (update) Problem Found, first fix didn't work! - New Engine Issue

    Sometimes if you can get an eyeball on the plug you can tap it one way or another and get it to stop.

    Something wrong with my tranny....

    I'm thinking it could be your slave cylinder. Pull the boot back to see if it is leaking. I know when I had one go out on my mazda I could hardly get it into gear for awhile got harder and harder until it just didn't happen. The burning smell is probably your clutch slipping either from it not...

    1g with nice rims!!! aftermarket or stock

    Took me like a month to figure out who made these wheels after I bought the car. Who buys Miles Miglia wheels? I think they look good anyhow.

    shot peened block should i put a layer of paint on it? opinions

    It will rust like any unpainted block would. If you like the look clear coat it. or high temp it. unless you like the rust look lol.

    something smelling like rotten eggs

    Head gasket is like 60$ and if you've never changed one before your in for a learning experience. Probably a 5-6 hour job for someone who isn't sure what to do. Go get a service manual and follow the directions and you should do fine.

    something smelling like rotten eggs

    When catalytic converters go bad they tend to smell like that, it is possible to smell it inside even if your windows are closed. Take the cat out its probably empty. The smoke could be entirely unrelated, However, you could be burning all your cat guts out. If you are burning oil that could...

    something smelling like rotten eggs

    Most likely a bad cat, pull it and check it out.

    Smoke Coming From Air Vent When Driving????

    If it smells kinda sweet, like antifreeze. That is usually a bad heater core... though I'm not sure if it will smell anymore last i heard they changed it a bit so it didn't smell/taste like something the should be ingested lol.

    Oil pressure relief?

    I'm not sure if this has been covered or not. But, in regards to porting out the oil filter housing would it not be easier to toss on another crush washer on the piston assembly? That way there is less tension on the spring allowing the valve to open easier? instead of removing the whole housing...

    Rusted Fuel Pump

    lol a bad bad fuel filter can. So can a bad fuel pump, FPR. A lot of things, I always start with the cheap/obvious when I troubleshoot. I like to work my way up to the headaches rather than start one for no reason. I'd say a bad ground/wiring the pump wouldn't work at all. Well if its not badly...

    Knocking sound... timing off

    If the timing is off you are hearing your valves hitting your pistons pull your head. It can be off a little bit but not a lot.

    look at this head rebuild kit

    Screw the ebay guy... call SB international. They deal with cylinder head parts and you can just request the same setup and save some money. They have a distribution center in Phily. That's probably where he got the parts in the first place. Thats where I've always gotten my parts. Why pay the...

    some valvetrain questions

    The bronze valve guides are harder and dissipate heat better. I think on these particular cylinder heads they have to do extra machine work to install the proper guides which have a large outer diameter. In order to install the over-sized valves additional machine work will also have to be done...

    how many miles before a rebuild?

    113,806 until balance shaft belt broke and ruined my year... Misterbeechy if its not your turbo, then valves seals could be junk. A lot of times if you give it gas and let off driving or not they'll do that.
  39. Jerkychew

    Oil pressure...

    So, I've read posts about people who remove their balance shafts and complain about high oil pressure. My questions is... what is the problem with 90 psi? I've been working on small blocks and older engines where I'd be happy to have 80 psi on a performance engine. So what is the concern? Maybe...

    Grinding Noise during spool

    Fix your transmission! lol I wouldn't even drive it. Other than that did you try checking for excessive end play in your turbo? If the sound seems to correlate with turbo spool, that would be my first check.

    What do everyone do for a living

    I'm an Ex-cylinder head machinist, I got laid off May 09'. I now work at the YMCA cleaning locker rooms lol. I also am going to school full time to get my BS in biology, I'm almost done!

    ENGINE UPGRADE. Please comment

    As long as you have upgraded your fuel pump and put in AFPR. Other than that It's sounds like a good build.

    Bov flutter. Help fix?

    Don't you have to change a setting in DSMlink for the GMmas?

    running extremely hot like NO other

    210* Is a pretty acceptable temp... Id say check your thermostat. Also, you said you took the head off and no apparent coolant leaks? Also, try getting a different temp sending unit?

    1G Fuel pump hanger

    That's what I'm talking about! lol how much would you take for the hanger? As far as replacing the studs... I think im gonna try and grind the nuts off to avoid such a situation, but in case I do need to replace them I'll definitely PM you!

    1G Fuel pump hanger

    Yeah, actually the nuts were so rusted not a single socket size i have will fit them. I could pound on undersized socket on them but I'd rather do it in a more professional way. Also, the fitting will not come off the fuel line, I put a back up wrench on it but it will slip off or break the pipe...

    1G Fuel pump hanger

    I am in the process of removing my old fuel pump to install a new walbro 255. However, It is not coming out without totally destroying the old pump hanger and possibly the studs. Iowa winters are hard on cars. I was wondering if it is possible to get a new single pump hanger or if anyone has a...
