Thanks. I emailed them yesterday afternoon and haven't heard back, but hopefully will soon.I'm not sure what else the issue could be as to why the car won't run, but everything I'm reading is pointing to an ECU problem.
About a year ago I was driving my Talon home and it began to stutter, ran really rough and barely got it into my driveway. Next day it wouldn't run for more than a minute or two and hasn't since. I had it in my garage at the end of the fall and into the winter and just now getting the time to...
I bought them, but have not gaped them yet. Will be putting then in maybe tonight or tomorrow but need to go to get the tool first to gap them properly
:hellyeah:Thanks, I was reading up on that the other day and thinking of doing it just to be sure.I just bought NGK (9634) ME64 wires. When driving it a while back, either a plug misfired or fuel injector cut off... the car started to stall while on the highway but was most likely due...
Not sure about injectors, but I was considering replacing those soon anyway as the car has just about 140k miles. replacing spark plugs and wires this weekend, I'll take more pics.Turbo: "stock 14b turbo with a larger hotside. which means the exhaust side of the turbocharger has a larger...
That would be great :thumb:I just got it back today from FINALLY passing inspection. The guy took a look and tried to give me an idea but I'd rather have a DSM expert take a look ;)
I bought my car from a guy who did a bit of mods, however the owner or owners before him he didn't know what was done.Figuring I just found whats most likely a DSMLink cable, I figured one of the previous owners may have put some other types of upgrades in the car, such as a MAF, fuel...
It doesnt pull out very far, so my hopes of it being a laptop cable are diminishing :(Is it worth getting an old palm pilot and hooking it up? worst case would be it doesnt work and im out $100, but if it does, would be pretty useful... right?
I was taking my car this afternoon to get inspected and while pulling the insurance and registration out of the glove compartment, I noticed a brown-ish colored wire. I pulled on it a bit and could feel something stuck. I was able to pry the back of the cover to get it out and it looks like a...
No worries, I didn't make it clear but they total botched both of them to where they are of no use.Of course, I will not go into places if they dont take Amex :thumb:
I dont mind about bending the shields, thats just part of the process, but completely breaking them to where they are now useless, especially the one that looks like it was cut off and then put back in is another story.Should I bother getting new ones (Ive read a few posts going either way)...
I needed to get the bearing pressed out. Ive been trying for some time, but need a heavy duty press to do it. I looked around and took them to a big shop, not some little corner store.Looks like I'll be calling my credit card company in a few days...
Id like to keep parts on my car that are supposed to be there, i.e. the dust shields. I'm guessing I'll have to cut these off and buy new ones huh :banghead:When I was picking them up, I asked where is the end of the axle and the guy says "its not here, must of been thrown out." He called...
Not only was I billed more than what I was told, but I go in to pick up my hubs and they destroyed the dust shields on both. Both of them move around and easily rub up against the wheel.I'm so f-ing annoyed right now and don't know what to do :mad::mad::mad:I just called back and they...
YES YES YES! Thats exactly it :thumb:This is quite an eye opening project for me as I know very little about cars, but doing my best to learn as quickly as I can. I've never really had a car to actually work on, my last two I can't even change my own oil lolYes, that is exactly what it...
The guy I bought my car from told me about some issue he was having where there would be to much hot air stuck in the turbo/engine and not to rev it above 5k to often. He mentioned that when the exhaust is corked, that issue mostly goes away.I was just talking to a friend and I can't...
I did a bunch more damage then I thought when I was trying to take off my hub and now appears that I have to replace the whole passenger side axle. This is for my 1G 93 AWD TalonPics here: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/maintenance-repairs/401557-axle-seized-hub-im-going-nuts.html...
ITS OUT!! :DWell, sorta...Heated it up for a bit, banged it from the front, not dice. Heat the back being very careful not to burn the boot, gave it a few whacks (not even that hard) and BAM! it hits the ground.After the excitement is over that I got it, I look to see the boot is OFF the...
Alright this is going on to long. It's been sitting in my garage now for 4 weeks and I need this fixed because I have to replace brakes and rotors on my Tahoe.Tomorrow a friend is coming over and I'm going to heat the shot out of this and beat it until it comes off. The last thing I want to...
Thanks for the input, much appreciated ;)I went on this mission to replace the bearing myself, but going on three weeks later (only have limited time to really work on it) I need to start cutting losses and do whats going to repair it as fast as possible.The mechanic I took the car to to...
I'm in the process of replacing the wheel bearing on the front left and right side. Got the drivers side hub assembly off with very little effort, I was a bit surprised to be honest.Passenger side... not so much. The axle is seized/stuck inside the hub. I've tried just about everything...
Anything on an upcoming Saturday work? I know this week is a holiday (plus I have my car in some pieces lol) but let me know what works best for you guys and we can get something going.
Sounds like you have a short, or possibly a blown connection on a circuit board thats causing the lights and wipers to stay on. Reason I say that is because it sounds like you can not turn off the power to these things which means a "switch" is broken.Did you try to take out the fuses and...
I've always heard its better to replace all 4 at once, but I hear you with prices.I had a tire go on my Tahoe last year and just bought a used one on CL for $60. Tread ware was pretty close and also same brand. I've had it over a year and I'll probably have to replace all 4 by winter time...
Steamer is the way to go. :thumb:I've had to take tint off before and came off pretty easy that way. Years ago on one of my cars that I tinted myself someone scratched the back window with a ring or watch and did some pretty big damage to the tint.I sprayed the window with ammonia/water...
I'll be honest, I'm a DSM n00b... even more a complete car n00b :sosad:I bought my 93 Talon because it was my dream car and now finally have a place to store it and start to work on it. Have a few things that I need to do and pretty stoked, but the guy I bought the car from put a LOT of...
I have an OEM cassette/radio with CD in bottom din, but display on the head unit is all but shot and there is some problem with the right side of the audio. Ive tested it with other speakers and sound is just not there.As much as I like OEM, audio is a big thing for me, so I'm thinking...
LOL, I'm 30 :hellyeah:I've been looking for one for a while now, but rather hard to come across one that is in good condition. I found a few that are all original... meaning nothing has been changed besides the oil lol.Just now have to get back in the "mechanic" side as the cars I've...
Hello all!Just picked up a 1993 Eagle Talon TSi AWD Turbo in great condition. Been my dream car since I was about 16 and finally came across one in really good condition.If anyone's in the local area and wants to meet up for a drink talk cars, let me know. I've been out of the world of...
