    Well I bought a rebuild kit expecting the worse hoping for the best. I am down to the crankshaft sprocket and Im stuck it will not come off.

    420a turbo problem.. crankshaft pully

    im in the same boat my friend. When you figure it out let me know. There is supposed to be a special tool but no one has it not mits or chrysler dealers. OTc or jayracing doesnt have it. The tool number is MD995027 if your talking about the crankshaft gear. I have tried 2jaw and 3jaw pullers, I...

    Ahhh. just get used to it. I have had a 2ng gen eclipse then went to a 04 WRX and now I have an 04 Sti w/ everything for stage one except the access port and boost controller. By my knowledge all you need is an intake turboback exhaust and Bov and boost controller and your at stage 1. I...

    I know guys thats what everyone is saying that it should just pull off. I have used a huge breaker bar, 3jaw and 2jaw puller and all break the outside aluminum lip. I have the dampner pulley off and it was a pain in the butt. So i am pretty sure that it is seized on there. I used a flange puller...

    1G Won't start, checked all the basics.

    I had the same problem with my car. When you turn your key can you hear the fuel pump start up. There will be a little noise. It is not hard to hear. Mine turned out to be the fuel pump. But check the big three like everyone else is harping on. I also cranked my car with the same gas that had...

    radiator fluid boiling/ engine knocking or clicking ???

    so when removing all the timing components i noticed that my crank sprocket is worn badly. Could this be a cause for the rattling or semi-knocking noise. Maybe a belt is slapping against something. I thought the sound was a bad rod bearing to describe the noise a little. It sounded like a...

    Alright i finally got the crankshaft pulley off and all the timing components. After I removed the crank pulley i noticed that the sprocket or gear that holds the timing belt is flat on one side of the lip. The teeth are fine in the gear just the outer rim or lip is flat or wore down. The entire...

    Car Not Starting

    Have you checked all the components seperately. you can take a volt meter to pretty much check every bit of you electrical to make sure that it is working. For the coil, for the plugs, and for the wires. Make sure you are getting electrical current to the ignition system then maybe you will be...

    99 gs rebuilding 420a ??s

    So from a few other threads that i have I am unsure that it is my rod bearing. I performed a test where you take each spark plug out and listen to the cylinders to determine if they sound gets lower or quits. Nothing...... I heard that it could be a bad bearing in my water pump? That it could be...

    radiator fluid boiling/ engine knocking or clicking ???

    Well I am hoping that it is a bad water pump or pulley making the noise. I finally got my crank pulley off. Word of advise to anyone doing this. Just rent a chrysler dampner puller. It takes twenty minutes. I tried for a week with two jaw pullers three jaw pullers huge breaker bars etc. A fellow...

    ok still havent checked the flow but i drained my radiator fluid, and there was no oil in the radiator fluid. I filled the radiator back up and looked underneath the car for leaks and found some antifreeze dripping down the oil pan. I assume "hate to assume" that it is coming from the water...

    To add to the post i flushed the radiator fluid out last night. I filled it back up to just check for leaks without cranking the car there was some radiator fluid dripping down to the oil pan. Not sure, but its the water pump in my opinion. Can a bad bearing in the water pump make a...

    i agree on it could be alot of things. I've never touched a water pump, but blacklabelbroth is helping me through this ordeal and he redone his pump and timing belt. I will check what you said and see. I have heard that the squel is the water pump so maybe that needs to be changed but isnt the...

    Alright guys, I have a 99gs eclipse n/t. It has been sitting for 1 1/2yrs. Finally got it to crank due to a bad fuel pump. I would assume that most or all of the pumps are bad. Now i am hearing a squel which probably is the water pump.? There is also a knocking that sounded like a rod bearing...
