Rock from a lawnmower is the fastest

clockwise is fine. Dont let it go backwards. Thats how you jump time. Edit: Pulley looks fine. When the rubber starts to separate you need to replace.

where did you go to test the alt? Autozone? Go to an actual alt/starter rebuilder. They can test it and know how to test it.

you can't really say it's to much. Some areas it's harder to find these cars. In mass where im from a car with that many miles would probably go for 1200, down here in Mississippi where I am now it would go for 3000.

have someone scan the car to see what the code is. Do a boost leak test. Get ready to do timing belt, probably not timing but needs to be done.

did you buy it from a private party or a dealership? Most states the lemon law only apply to cars bought at a dealership. And even then when you sign a bill of sale that says as-is or no warranty you usually give up that right.

Just figured I'd stop by and fill you guys in. Found out my old eclipse snapped the timing belt, only had about 10k on it. I think something was telling me to get out of it, lol. Gonna try and pick it up again. Rebuild again. trying to grab it for about 400.

Yeah, no Toyota's for me.

Just because I needed something with more room doesn't mean I don't still want to have fun.

Already pricing turbo parts, lol.

I don't think Dsm's have problems. I though all cars do if they're not takin care of. It doesn't matter what it is, if you beat on it and never do maintenance it's gonna have issues.

Both of mine are still in their seats too, they are 2 and 4. Then you have me, I'm 6 foot, 220lbs. Nobody sits behind me lol. The wife has her car but she broke down about two months ago and started getting worried, if something happens to her car they're stuck. So we decided that I'd get...

So after a lot of thinking I traded my gst. I didn't want to but the eclipse just wasn't practical as a daily driver with two kids. I do plan on getting another someday money permitting. I think I made out pretty good though. Even swap for a 98 jetta vr6. Let me know what you think

Id be down for a meet. I'm in pontotoc, that's just West of Tupelo.Edit: holy crap this is an old thread!

The manufacturing if a car normally starts a year in advance and they usually hit the lots in September. So your car being a 96 could have been bought in September of 95.

I need to see that.

You need dsmlink or at least safc to control the flow of the injectors. I'll bet your problem is your running to rich.

If your weren't 10 hours away if take it.

Ok, where's the car

Old fart compared to most of you probably. 32

You could also place a want to buy add in the classifieds. There are probably a bunch of people on here that upgraded and have that laying around.

You could have a piece of exhaust pipe bent up and grab two couplers for a cheap way out. Hard piping isn't going to hurt gas mileage, it will just give a little faster spool.

There is another thread with a bunch of guys that did this.

If he didn't have someone hack a top on it it might be worth something.

It's the way people have been doing it since well before you were born.

Yep. Valves need to be seated properly. I've also hooked up a cordless drill to the valve stem on 350 heads when in a hurry. :)

Any part store should have them. They'll be in the help section. There is also a way to delete it with resistor and stuff which I'm planning on doing. I'll post a link in a sec.Edit: http://www.vfaq.com/mods/O2bypass.html

If you weren't so far I'd be knocking on your door for the rims. :)

There is no where to get it around here either. Most people don't even know what it is. But I can get ethanol free, real gas for about 10 cent more. They sell that just about everywhere.

Throttle body shaft seals are shot, very common leak. Cheap and easy fix

Wow, that's retarded. I'm paying 3.78 for 93 and I think that's a rip.Edit: and according to gasbuddy if I go up the road a little more it's 3.69.Edit: But then again I remember filling up my Monte SS with ultra 94 and complaining because it was 1.04. :D

I put Ashes in mine. :p

Sometimes universal parts are the best idea.

The seals aren't blown, they just leak with no oil pressure behind them. Heat the car up, take it around the block and do the test again.

The bubbling is air going past the turbo seals down the oil tube and into the oil pan.

Do the test with the engine hot and see what happens. I was having the same thing happen, it was my turbo seals leaking. Was told that they seal with oil pressure.

I don't think it looks bad at all, shoot I'd spray the rims too..As far as the transformers sticker, do what you want. I thought about putting a small chrome one on the front bumper where the mitsu emblem goes.One of the best things I've seen is a newer beetle done up umbrella corporation...

I'm willing to bet most of us type on here with our phones, yet we still do OK.The main reason I think they want good spelling and such is when someone tries searching for a thread on let's say, throttle body, if is spelled throtl boby they are not going to find it even though the answer they...

Now if rather do it with the engine cold. Grab a cheap torch and some map gas and heat it up, that way only the part that you want hot is hot. After running for 20 min one skip with a wrench and that manifold will cook your arm

Pop your hood and look straight down, is to the left of the alternator. The wire for it runs across the engine and plugs in under the thermostat housing.

It's on the firewall. Follow the vacuum line from the fuel rail and you'll see it.Edit: check with the venders on this forum, one of them will probably have it.Also check with miller imports, they'll have one for cheap. It will be used but will work.

Which horn are you trying to get to work. I have a 96 gst, when I got it my horn didn't work either. I was trying to get the one on the firewall working. The one under the bumper cover in front of the driver side wheel is the one you need to play with.

It's possible it was special ordered that way

I had a bad connection on my knock sensor that did that. Took almost a month to throw a cel.

Most tee of from the fpr

I think he may have meant to pick up an aftermarket boost gauge not controller. I don't know what a controller would have to do with reading vacuum

Get the OEM one from Mitsubishi.

Why would you buy parts not knowing what they are?? Next you'll be asking how to change the carburetor. :p

It switches at the pump. Your only getting what's left in the hose by the handle.

Here's a good one
