Cas!

Have you taken the block out and checked the piston? check the rings and oil clearence. make sure that the rings are staggered! this can blow by and drop in compression. any sounds while driving before you did a cylinder leak down test? is the deck warped at all?sorry i skimmed through your...

i wont be available for a while because i have to get a job still and have enough for a new tire, gas and oil lol. im soo broke right now it sucks! "ramen noodle every meal budget"

so....did you check the cas? see if there is anything coming out of it or see if a dsm buddy can lend you one and try it. you wont know until you try. plus your not spending money so why not.

also make sure ground wires on battery is on tight and not exposed to the weather or flared. this can cause many problems over a $5 fix

what do you mean by "faulty"?

have a question. i never had my car dynoed or ran at the tracks. i wanna know if anyone can help me find accurate specs on my 96 talon tsi awd turbo. i have a stock 7 bolt with about 7k miles on it on pump gas 92. i have a 16g big turbo with a 38mm external wastegagte. 18psi, ets fmic, 3 inch...

CAS seems to be a huge problem with many different problems occuring. what was wrong with your car miliman? if he can start up his car fine...i would think the CAS would be ok

i can give you a heads up next time i roll down to md

there is a meet tonight at my school, but not many dsmers :/ i have been in the dsm field for over 2 years as well and turned my first wrench on my car. you learn so much on these platforms its incredable! i just need to save up some money so i can get my fuel system in and ecm link socketed in...

so i have symptoms of a bad ground wire from loss of charge, flicker lights at idle after jumped and buzzing in the speakers. i found that my ground wire was spliced and flared pretty bad on the firewall. most of the wires are intact, but about a fith of them are torn and sticking out the cable...

thats whats up. yeah i live right off of 97. in eldersburg. i live behind the taco bell and shoppers food court. its lame to live there ### no one likes dsms in this small town. i am currently in school up in pa going to universal technical institute, but i come down on the weekends. if there...

Friend of mine had the exact same problem. it turned out to be a bad CAS (Crank/Cam Angle Sensor). Have you tried replacing the sensor or do you know that you sensor is good for a fact?

follow the source of where the oil is leaking. trace it down ### oil doesnt magically go in your intake lolignore the random "###" i dont know how they got there :P

I live in Carroll County, MD. owner of a grey 1996 eagle talon tsi awd. (only know of 3 ppl within 15 mins from my house who own a dsm :/ )

my advice would to post a picture of the ecu like said above, check spark tip for abnormal wear (if you still have plugs). if they are white colored and/or burnt then it would prove that you are running lean to cancel out the wideband reading incorrectly. see if your maf sensor is still good and...

@miliman13 why would you assume something that has many possible components that would affect this problem. lets narrow down problems before he goes out and spends hundreds if not thousands before he fixed the problem. you could be right, but lets narrow down the list

im good man. its a fair price, but i can get one for cheaper. ill let you know if any of my friends want it and i will post here again if there are any takers

sorry man i didnt have much time on here yesterday so i skimmed through it. and yeah i can only get my hands on the 95-97 front bumpers off the gs from the junkyard. its such a pain and i basically gave up looking for parts for my car (mainly engine parts because no one puts the 4g63 models in...

Yes i did that day. i was not using my common sense and realized that i didnt charge my battery. only jumped started it. so i basically hooked up jumper cables to another vehicle (jeep) and made sure that the black wire on the cable was on a ground source (i used one of the passenger side strut...

well if you decide to go external wastegate, i would highly recommend getting a 38mm. this will require a new o2 housing, modifications to the 16g, and make sure you buy the proper wastegate spring for the amount of boost you will be running. i have a EVOIII 16G with a 38mm tial external...

fuel cut, bad maf, ecu bad, tune up needed...sounds like you are putting more air in your system than the ecu "wants" you to on stock settings. this means you will have to get a larger fuel system to allow more fuel particles to equal out and have a stable air-fuel ratio. make sure you have the...

what do you mean by limp mode? does it bog or act as a 2 step setting while driving. does engine temp or rpm effect it? what exhaust do you have. if yu have a catylitic converter, it could be clogged or a bad o2 sensor if you didnt bypass them on the tune. what tuning program are you running on?

how much are you asking? im looking for one and i may take a trip up there. im currently living in pa near philly

how many miles? and thats a bit pricey man. i would sell it for around $50 if no one replies witin a couple weeks. i love to rebuild turbos and i sold a few rebuilt t-25 turbos for $125-$150 each. goodluck

what bumper do you want? what model and vehicle? i would recommend going to a local junkyard or collision repair shop or part out on an eclipse on craigslist and hassle the person for the bumper. original parts are only getting harder to find so good luck

sounds like your turbo seal is bad. this allows the oil that lubricates the turbine wheel and prevents wear. many things can cause a turbo seal to go bad. too much boost, age, heat, oil pressure, not replacing the gaskets everytime you removed it. indicators that your seal is bad are a...

your SUPPOSE to, but being an innovater that i am, i decided to bolt the flapper shut. i used grade 8 bolt and nut. i have a washer on the inside of the flapper port and a lock washer on either side of the flapper (standard washer is contacting the flapper port). i torqued the flick out of it...

i would be almost certian it is your crank/cam angle sensor going bad (aka CAS). same problem happened to my friends 97 eclipse gs 5 speed.

Well the problem i had was so simple i feel retarded even telling you what was the reason...my battery wasnt charged all the way so i would jump it, run it for a few mins then turn it off. the problem happened a few times. i fully charged my car and its been fine since. basically, connect the...

Fuel cut, maf sensor bad or needs tuning, vaccume or boost leak are all probable causes. i had fuel cut. after putting larger injectors and a 255 fp, my car runs amazing! tell me everything that is happening...such as cel on for a few seconds, car acting like it is "2-stepping IN GEAR OR NUETRAL...

A collapsed catylitic converter will cause the car to bog under higher rpm or the more the throttle is opened. however, if you are under light throttle, you should be able to drive normally. the problem i am having is fuel cut. i upgraded my fuel pump and injectors (with the tune) and my car...

well i found the problem to why i am leaking through my return line. i used the same oem gaskets and i didnt replace them with the stock return line oem gaskets. im gonna get them once i have the time to jack the car up and fix my oil pan plug lol. for the return line, i used the oil banjo bolt...

Sorry for the year delay, but i fixed the problem :)) so basically, the radiator pressure spring went bad because my water pump had a leak. i noticed an abundant amount of coolant loss from the weap hole. well this lil coolant leak just happened to leak on my timing belt. i was unaware of this...

Hey guys i bought h and r pro series springs for my car the other day. i was planning on putting them on this weekend and renting a spring compressor at my local auto store. it is a 2 inch drop in the front and 1.75 inch drop in the rear. they are slightly used so the springs are "broken in". i...

I am in the process of taking every panel off. (Just dash left). I sanded, cleaned and wiped alcohol on them. I am converting my car from grey to black with a green rogue status gun design on selected panels. I have all the proper paint. My only concern is how do I prep the leather door panels...

I got mine done outbaxk of a grocery store in under 10 mins. Common sence man. The only tricky part is unplugging the bulbs without breaking a clip

Same problem guys. I can only start the car by jump starting it or rolling start. Terminals are new, battery is new, altenator, spark plugs and wires. Won't start, but all lights and music work. I hear fast, mechanized sounding clicks when I try to start it. Car runs great when on and idles...

Hey guys, just had a similar problem! I can't start my car, unless someone jumps it or pop it in second. When I try to turn the engine, all I hear is a clicking sound. One time my lights were flickering at idle, but only once for a second. When car is running, it runs fine. All of my electrical...

i just got done installing my 16g big turbo on 15psi. drove it fine with no problems for a day. the next day i went to drive my car, but my car wont go over 3500 rpm. acting like a rev limiter. i am hearing a faint click sound under the headunit. idle is a little rough, but doesnt stall out...

i am facing the same problems. i have a rough idle and i cant rev or go in any gear past 3500 rpm. acts almost like a rev limiter. my cel will come on, the turn off in a matter of seconds. i cant build boost since i normally dont until 4k. problem doesnt seem like a vaccume leak since my...

hey i have a similar problem. i just installed my 16g big on 15psi. fmic and intake. external wastegate and o2 housing. the first day everything was fine excpet for the oil return line leaking a little. today i went to drive it, but at 3500rpm it would act as a rev limiter. i tried 2nd gear, but...

i had to buy a pipe real fast so i could re-route my fmic from the j pipe. i found a route that takes about 14 inches off. however the pipe that i got is a 18 inch straight, non-beaded exhaust pipe from advance auto. i have used a smaller 6 inch exhaust pipe in the past that was non beaded and...

yeah that is what i am saying, but i have no access to a welder for a long time. i am trying to find a safe alternative way.running stock fuel system and boost. my tial 38mm spring is 12lbs. should i be running more or as much as the spring rate? lets say i leave it on and started the car and...

thanks a lot guys! i dont want anymore work than what i have to. i am doing this alone to really understand my car so i can have more "under the hood" experience in the auto world. plus a check engine light at 1500 miles on the trans, engine and clutch is just embarrassing haha

alright thanks man. i spent a few more hours searching and someone mentioned that the crank angle sensor (CAS) is the best way to do it on a 2g. i know it is located somewhere around the fire wall. by unpluging the MPI fuse, will this eliminate all spark and cut fuel? i just dont want to see an...

i have a limited edition hks oil cap that actually was well spent $60 since it completely stopped my oil leak from the stock oil cap

i am also new to working on cars and doing my first turbo installation (16g with installation kit from extemepsi). i have everything installed on my 1996 talon tsi, but i want to make sure my oil feed line is in the correct place (note..i have not started my car until i know everything is in...

hey guys, i am just about finished installing my 16g turbo and much more bolt ons on my 1996 talon tsi awd. i have a question about the mfi realy. i didnt run any oil through my lines or the turbo. my friend told me that i could disconnect the fuel relay and turn the car over to get oil through...

custom paint job, greddy type s bov and tial 38mm wastegate matching colors, turbonetics manual dsbc, bov gasket made from truck liner which has been working for bout a year with no leaks :Poh idk if its rare but the original inspection paper from 95 at the crysler corporation as well as the...
