I had just finished putting my car back together from a rear motor mount replacement, and after refilling the coolant system which took quite some time of the car idling, I went to see how the car ran and as soon as I touched the throttle the car just went for the red line, even after I released...
Feels like a noob question so I'm posting it here LOL...Long story short, my motor mounts are completely shot. I ignored them for a long time because I've just been too busy with other things, and I refuse to pay other people to work on my car LOL. But they finally have gotten so bad, that I...
Was wondering how much it would end up costing me, to land in the 400-450 HP range.Idea's I've tossed around is stroking the motor to a 2.2L, and building it with low compression so I can run high boost. The good thing for me is I have a bare block and head lying around, so I won't have to...
Tonight when I went to leave the beach, my car wouldn't turn over at all. No click, no nothing. No reaction to the key being turned. I turned my headlights on, and they didn't seem any more dim than they usually are when the car is running.So we tried to push start it (these cars are...
I feel like the answer should be no LOL... But, are the fuel pressure regulators interchangeable between the turbo and non turbo cars. I've looked up replacements, and some list them as one part, other places have FPR that don't look anything like mine, and still others only have turbo ones...
Anyone know a good place (or have one) where I can get the right side steering knuckle for a 95 GS? My axle was seized, and I wound up taking it to a machine shop, which proceeded to break one of the bolt holes off of the knuckle. I just need the knuckle as I already have the other parts (axle...
My hub looks like this :And every single one I can find online looks like this :
So my question is, is that something that will work anyway? It just doesn't seem like there would be enough room in there... and if not where can I find one without that gear.Bout to just leave the old ones in...
Anyone know a good place anywhere in Maryland or Delaware (or for that matter southern Penn or NJ, northern VA) That works on 420a's?I don't want anything too crazy, not planning on turboing the car. But I am considering having the engine rebuilt maybe upped to 2.2 (or whatever it can go up...
I need to replace my lower ball joints in the front end (all 4) and my front wheel bearings.So, from Autozone I'm looking at like 5-600 bucks or some mess (Its been awhile since I priced it, but I remember the control arms were like 75 (straight) and 90 (curved) a piece back when I last...
I did a quick search and failed to find anything.When I turn hard at say, 10 MPH I get this weird grinding sound from somewhere on the right side. I almost thought my tire was rubbing when I first heard it, but I know that should not be the case. Then when I heard it again, it sounds like...
The after market tail lights I have only have a place for two bulbs each (stock was 3). As it stands I have to just have one of each side hanging down between the plastics and the body. Now, if I just removed the light it causes the signal light to flash fast like there is a blown bulb.I've...
Long story short my brothers truck (02 I think, Cadillac Escalade).I've been searching the net a bit to see if I could find something concrete enough to suggest to him. Figured I'd ask here in case one of you knows what could cause it.It wont start, it turns over and you can smell raw...
The 97s doesn't appear to have a vacuum hose of any sort that attaches to the FPR...Now I'm kind of stuck o.o Will it be ok to use it on my 95 (w/ 97 engine installed)? I mean, if I install it in the same place as it was on the 97, mechanically what would stop it from working?I suppose...
It fixed its own coolant leak.Now, it only leaks oil. If it can fix that on its own it will be set.On a side note anyone have any ideas on a realistic reason *not magic :P * my car quit leaking coolant? lolInfact, since I let it sit for a couple weeks after I discovered the leak...
Simply put, My 1995 Eclipse GS, has no fuel pressure regulator. So I'm going to take one off of my parts car (97 eclipse GS) and use it to restore mine. Problem is, the fuel filters on the 95 are on the fire wall with the old FPR on the fuel rail, while the 97s FPR and fuel filter are back near...
Since I'm having issues with the one I swapped in, I wanted to see what I was getting myself in too. So my friend came over and he was curious as well, so we started pulling it apart.Really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be getting it all apart, I'm not gonna lie, I was scared of...
In Easton, Federalsburg, Salisbury (MD) , Seaford, laurel, Delmar, bridgeville (DE), or near by towns for a decently low price but do it right?depending on price I'd be willing to go as far as Dover (DE). I'm getting so tired of messing with this car, I just need a break. I'll pull the engine...
prior to opening the engine up? I've run into head gasket issues, and I'm trying to sort out what I should do before I decide what course of action to take.Problem A : Coolant leak rear passenger side of engine just below where the intake manifold connects.Problem B : 200 miles on the...
On the 95 eclipse. And is it different on a 97? (both 420a's) It seems like the vacuum line on the 97 went straight to the tank. And the orriginal one on my 95 appears to have been removed back before I had the car. And I just never knew about it. (Learning as I go) went looking for it after I...
So, I've recently changed engines, and now that everything is running normal, I still have the same temp issue I had with the old engine. The temp randomly goes up over half way, up to about 75% at the most, but usually around 60% or so on the gauge.No coolant in oil or vice versa.
New...
I've been through quite a few threads/forums. And I'm getting kind of tired. Every where I go says something different lol.So basically the problem I've run into, is most of the Chrysler dealers in the area (within 50 miles) have gone out of business and the nearest Mitsubishi dealer is over...
