    Leaking valve cover cause blue smoke?????

    Blue smoke at idle is most likely valve seals. Could very well be turbo seals if you are seeing it at cruise or exceleration

    Debating Clutch Kits

    I have heard a lot of good things about southbend clutches. Everyone Ijust knkw thatright has ranthe one lovedto it. I am currently running a Clutch masters FX300 in my 90 talon with a lightweight flywheel....love it! Also have had 2a ACT 2600's not the biggest fan. If that helps

    If the 1g thermostat housing is the same as the 2g I have a nice powdercoated one in silvevain black and gray texture look. 10 shipped.

    Running on 3 cylinders

    When it happens check for spark out of the coil pack for that cylinder. I bet it has something to do with heat. I have seen simillar problems to this before.

    2g GSX low idle, stalling easy

    The ISC/IAC will go through its cycle and relearn pretty quick. In that situation I would let the car idle for a few minutes after it comes ip to opperating temperature so it can relearn IAC position and start to redevelope fuel trims.If it were me I would make sure you have no boost leaks...

    2g GSX low idle, stalling easy

    If your TPS is mis-adjusted it can cause stalling insues; your IAC should keep it from stalling if it is adjusted properly and working correctly. A boost leak check is going to be of most importance to ensure that isnt your problem amd you must have all your boost leaks fixed before you can...

    Car wont start after black puff of smoke

    Here great timing belt write up: Timing Belt VFAQIf the timing belt skipped on any of the gears you have a problem, when you get a chance pull the lover and upper timing covers. Try to align all the mark(they will all line up on the compression stroke of the #1 cylinder) if they dont line up...

    Car wont start after black puff of smoke

    In order to check timing you are going to have to pull the cover, you need to ensure ALL the timining marks line up. Although you may have boost leaks, they arn't going to keep the motor from starting. Check for fuel, then spark. Let us know what you have/ dont have. Also post your compression...

    Help asap!!! Alternator related

    I can unfortunately say I am having the same problem. I just bought a 1992 galant vr-4 and I have now killed 2 alternators in the last week! I think it is time to check grounds sicne DSM's are known for having grouning issues. Alternator fuse is good, since the new alternator and the old one...

    Car wont start after black puff of smoke

    The balance shaft belt failing is a common reason for the timing belt to skip. If you do a compression check it will tell you a lot more. If your timing skipped you valves will be opening at the wrong time, thus compression testing will show low to no compression on those cylinders. Could also...

    Can't boost past 5psi

    Could easily be a boost leak, but sounds more like a WG problem. I had an isue with mine and couldnt build any boost. To check to ensure it is closing all the way you can pull the o2 housing and look to make sure the WG flapper is closed completely. Also to touch on what one guy said about the...

    Confusing timing issue

    I would double check you r mechanical timing, but you probably have it right since it runs. Most likely your CAS kust needs adjusted. You can either use you timing marks on you timiming cover like it sounds like you did to set it to 5°you or you can use an adjustable timing light and set it...

    2G New GSX with some issues, won't start after sitting 5 years

    No kidding, guess I missed that. If you change that you should be good to go. There easy to change and as stated before the 2gs have a fixed base timing so you cant adjust it.

    2G New GSX with some issues, won't start after sitting 5 years

    It could be the cam ange sensor(CAS) or the MPI relay. They both cut fuel and spark. I guess the best advice would be...you know you have no spark, check flto see that your injectors are opening with a noid light which you can purchase at almost any automotive store, advance auto parts, napa ect...

    What is this

    Thats your clutch line. It comes from the master cylinder, to the slave.

    non resirculated bov, dangerous for engine?

    Everything stated above is correct. The reasoning is by venting to atmosphere you are throwing out air that has already been accounted for, so the ecu is adding the fuel needed for that air reading it got not for what air actually entered the intake mainfold causing it to run rich. You ethier...

    Sounds good, I love my Inovate MTX-L. Great gauge, works with ECM Link well since it allows me to log my AFR's.

    Low O2 voltage after being replaced

    I dont know, maybe ask the tunner. I know that at wide open throttle(WOT) The ecu goes back into open loop meaning it ignore the O2 sensor so if they are doing WOT pulls for tunning it isnt going to make a difference but your going to need to it to cycle properly to obtain good fuel trims. Your...

    Alight, the way you had that worded it sounded like you said stock fuel system. I'm almost positive I had that backwards I belieive O2 sensors produce voltage upon lack of O2. Therefore your running rich and that would also explain the stumbling..4 knock retard is just over 1 count of knock...

    The turbos are hit or miss, but the hot sides are good. Just look for a cheap used/blown turbo for the hot side. You should be able to pick one up for a good price.

    Car Runs Significantly Cooler On Highway Than Local

    The only thing I would be worried about is it getting cold enough on the highway to go back into open loop. This would cause it to go back to a rich condition to try to warm up the engine. You dont really want to be cruising for a long period of time in open loop and doing so will cause poor...

    finished rebuild rough idle

    Could be IAC(ISC). What are your mods, may need to adjust ignition timing to get it to run/idle properly. It could also be a boost/vacuum leak. Either way I would HIGHLY sugest a boost leak test!

    Major hesitation, misfire and backfire

    It sounds like it could be ingition timing. Bad/ mis-adjusted CAS? I would test that first. I would also check your timing belt and see if all the timing marks line up before you pull the head. If it turns out that timing skipped if you got lucky and it only skipped a few teeth if it were me I...

    90 shift cables

    Its really straight forward once you start on it. Just make sure that you are careful when putting the new cables back through the firewall to ensure you dont brake the new ones. Do you need a set of 90 shift cables? I have a good condition set I would be willing to sell.

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

    I guess I looked over a few things in your post. Your definately going to want to get that lower intercooler pipe on. Its not really going to want to idle with it off and that would explain why it dies/runs bad upon reving.
  38. zanderson

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

    Also double check your firing order that didnt sound right, but I could be wrong on that. Have you set your base idle?

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

    The car will idle with out the tsp, your cas is hooked up correctly if it fires. Sounds like it might be mis adjusted though. Check your ignition timing.

    Need some expert advice on ecu codes

    Thats good! keep it up you seem to have a good parts list going. I would make sure to add a new OEM oil pump to your list if you havent already. Other than that I would say go ahead with your build. ECM Link is extreamly worth it, if you can get your hands on it.

    Need some expert advice on ecu codes

    You can get away with not having an aftermaket FPR for awhile before the fuel pressure will eventually overcome the stock one and oval it out causing to much fuel. Also a stuck closed EGR or by eliminating the EGR esentially the same as being stuck closed will cause a rich condtion, but most...

    Please help!!

    A good way to check if its the MPI relay under the stereo is to check for spark, that relay controls both fuel and spark. Otherwise you can ohm it out, but that isn't always a 100%.

    Shifter Cable/Bracket Problem? Or Something Else?
