    2G 98 GST starts with rough idle then dies

    So timing is good from what someone who checked it told me. Fuel pump got replaced and now you can hear the pump turning on but the car just cranks still and won't start.

    2G 98 GST starts with rough idle then dies

    Sure it has to do with the tension on the belt. I leaned over it to check if anything was touching it and I put some pressure on the belt and it clicked out of time.

    2G 98 GST starts with rough idle then dies

    Let me go check that now. If it's something just hitting the belt that would be great.. The timing belt and tensioner is new so I really don't think it is bad.Actually, 2 of the wires were swapped in the wrong way. Not sure why it took 3 days for it to stop running, but whatever. Maybe...

    2G 98 GST starts with rough idle then dies

    It needs new wires but it starts now but there is a weird tick coming from the timing belt area. After speaking to a friend about it he thinks it's the timing belt tension that is off. Here is the video.

    2G 98 GST starts with rough idle then dies

    I'm charging my jump starter because all the cranking killed my battery, but I'm going to try to unplug it and see when it charges. I guess I'm going to have to get a boost leak tester. Where was your leak?

    2G 98 GST starts with rough idle then dies

    Today was finally my day off and first thing I did now is check the spark plugs. Def found a problem there LOLSo I can tell I'm running rich and have a leak in 4 (going from left to right). Possibly just the valve cover gaskets?EDIT: I just smelled the plugs and they smell like fuel.

    2G 98 GST starts with rough idle then dies

    Like bmxfelon420 said, I read that they dont need to be cleaned. I'm going to take a quick look at it and see if it looks really dirty. I'll check everything else you recommended as well. Hopefully it's something simple..I read the same as you.I'll see how cheap the upgrade would be for...

    2G 98 GST starts with rough idle then dies

    Well thing is the fuel pump was on it's way out anyway. When I got the car the tank was so rusted it ate fuel pumps in a couple weeks. When I replaced the tank I kept the pump that was already running like crap. I might as well just get a new pump, I will need it soon anyway. When I gave it gas...

    2G 98 GST starts with rough idle then dies

    Oh didn't know about that location. But could it be bad and cause this like that thread? Firing order is 4123. I'm thinking it might be the fuel pump since I had a feeling the old pump would go out. I was thinking of getting a Walbro 190 regardless so I am currently searching for the best price...

    2G 98 GST starts with rough idle then dies

    Backstory: Just purchased a 98 GST stock other than injen intake, TurboXS RFL BOV, and a muffler. It needed a fuel tank, which I installed tuesday. I ran it fine wednesday-friday morning no issue. After work yesterday (friday) I get in my car to go home and it starts with a rough idle. I give it...

    2G Help with fuel tank please!!

    I see you have a 97, our fuel tanks are different. Especially since you have AWD. If the 97 AWD tank is anything like the 97 GST tank then there is one hose that leads to the canister and that's the one you're likely talking about. My canister is inside the tank and has 3 hoses coming from the...

    2G Help with fuel tank please!!

    Great thanks! I connected the one that I think will be ok even though it's slit a bit. The one that was too short I added a hose splice and added some vapor hose I got from the parts store. It fit and I clamped it all down. It should be OK then since you said it's just vapor. If it was fuel then...

    2G Help with fuel tank please!!

    Quick question, is there just vapor going through the canister hoses? I received some used hoses along with the used tank I ordered. The hose that runs back to the engine was cut short and one of the other ones has a split right at the end of the hose, it shouldn't leak.Would it be fine to run...

    2G Help with fuel tank please!!

    When it comes to a set of hoses I wouldn't expect to be spending $100. It's really the only option?If it is, then I'll go for it. Just really don't want to.
  17. 42395_skyline

    2G Help with fuel tank please!!

    $101 for 4 hoses?! WTF?! This is crazy! Makes me regret cutting them off! How in the world is one hose $48...$250 to get this tank replaced is a little much. That's still without the clamps, new pump, new gas. If anyone can help me out and has any ideas please let me know.
  18. 42395_skyline

    2G Help with fuel tank please!!

    I'm surprised too. I really rather keep it original anyway. If I put the 97 tank in I would still need to run the hoses from that tank because I can't just keep a hole in the tank and the car only has the hoses for the in tank canister. I have time to google parts and such while at work, but I...

    So I needed to replace my fuel tank on my 98 GST because of rust. When I purchased a spare 97 GST fuel tank I thought it was the same.

    A couple questions about the 4G64 engine?

    Haha that must of felt terrible. I knew about the GS, GST, GSX differences when I first got my car. I was originally looking for a Spyder GST or a regular GST. I couldn't find any for sale, so I settled for a GS thinking it couldn't be too bad. Once I saw D series Hondas were faster than me I...

    A couple questions about the 4G64 engine?

    If you don't care about power you could get a 420a. Even clean ones are pretty cheap, if you can find one. Not sure about where you live but around here I haven't seen too many clean stock 420a's. Less maintenance since it has less parts (No turbo and supporting parts) but also less power. Good...

    I can't answer all your questions but the 4G64 is also used in the 3G Eclipse and the 7/8G Galant. I have the 420a 99 GS. I haven't had any issues with it but I haven't had it for too long, only a little over a year. If you are looking for power the 4G64 would be a better option than the 420a...

    Can you dye seatbelts?

    When I was looking to do my seat belts I did the research and it came up a few times. I never found any hard evidence, but I personally would spend the extra money and save the extra time of dying.

    Can you dye seatbelts?

    Be aware that some people have said that dying a seat belt weakens it and could cause it to break in an accident. I would just go to a junk yard and find some 3G seat belts to replace the belt.

    Also, to correct griser, 4300k is like OEM halogen bulbs. It has a yellow tint to them, like halogens. 5000k would be pure white. 6000k is crystal white which has a tint of blue.
