Glad that there wasn't any serious damage there. The fact that it happened driving in a straight line has me baffled... Maybe they did send out the wrong axle again. As stated above, check everything from the transmission to the hub. Sounds like your mechanic is a trustworthy guy, so I'm sure he...

Are you checking pressure at the pump or the rail? There can be fuel pressure at the rail, but if the injector is bad or isn't getting enough voltage than it won't be delivered properly. Does the car smell rich at all? Any back firing? Awesome that you narrowed down the 2 cylinders. Sounds like...

I would bleed it again. Try to grab a friend to help you out. Have them pump the clutch a few times and then hold the pedal to the floor. While the pedal is held in, open then bleeder on the slave. You will then get a nice squirt followed by a stream of fluid. Repeat this multiple times until...

Make sure that the clutch master cylinder is good. Also make sure the clutch is adjusted properly. Jacks transmission has a great video in the link below.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYJxQyjIhUw

he is running a 20g

Go ahead and replace the bolt, but if it seems to be sealed okay I don't think its the problem. You just said it yourself that it needs a tune. Bingo. Tune the car then see how she does.

Not completely sure on what I want to go for on the turbo. On the bright side, the mustang is FINALLY done and out of the garage, so I have time and space to start on the eclipse. That mustang was a huge headache... Here's a few pictures of the black b**** that held up my progress on my DSM.

Try aisle 5 in autozone next to the underglow kit. LOLBut really, i would think twice before you do this. you WILL get made fun of on a daily basis and you WILL regret it later down the road..

Good deals are always a plus, especially when I have a wedding to pay for LOL

it is one of my favorites for sure! always wanted to paint a car that color, but never had the chance to until now. I'm actually getting a great deal on paint. I pay for the paint itself and change the guys clutch, he does the body work and labor for free. I'm going to look around a bit before I...

Well, I bought my first DSM here recently. I paid $750 for it. The car would not go into gear and I immediately noticed that that floor was soaked in brake fluid due to a leaky master cylinder so I took the chance on the car. Little did I know, the transmission itself was bad as well. After...

I got sucked into this post! So much great info on here guys! Everyday I read, every day I learn.

^ +1. Very well put. I've bought many used parts, but they were all good quality. A dollar saves a dollar, just no cutting corners! :thumb:

Don't expect a reliable and quick car if you aren't going to spend money. Don't cut corners, I know everyone wants to go fast and go fast now, but it isn't worth trashing the motor. Piece it all together. My first build on one of my own cars took me 3 years to hit 400hp. And that was with a V8...

probably gonna go with 1mm os valves. ive been seeing a lot on here with the hks 272 cam. is this a good cam to run for a 500hp build? ill have to find a good shop for the porting work around here. i had a guy do all my head work on my camaros and some of my other cars who was GREAT and very...

Found it and went over reviews! :thumb: That should help me a lot. what are a lot of you guys doing as far as head work goes?

I have just been having troubles trying to get used to and navigate through the forum... I now know that graveyard is out of the picture. I'll try to find some more info on here.

So as you guys had read before my trans took a crap on me and I decided to build everything at once. I decided to go with the shep stage 4 trans build and am shipping it out later this week. I have that settled, but I can't seem to decide on what to do with the motor. I found a forged rod/piston...

Usually if you have rod knock, you are going to know it is rod knock lol. Especially if you are driving it, because it WILL get louder. Lifter tick is always a common thing on these cars, I would still pull the plugs to see what kind of shape they are. Make sure the gapping is correct. Does it...

maybe its the whole heading into the unknown thing. Never done anything other than pull and replace them.

Ill do that! Thanks!

Thanks a lot guys for all of the info and support. Finishing dropping the engine into the turbo mustang in my garage this week/weekend then going to start on pulling the motor out of the eclipse. I am very excited for this project! Going to be a great learning experience.

turns out the transmission was bad :(

I'm building the engine, but I am having a professional do the trans. I was just going to see if there were any good kits out there that I could buy and then just have the shop install it. I called that raif guy and he actually quoted me more than shep...

Awesome! Thanks!

Because I totally have the funds for that... lol. But on a serious note, any suggestions on good kits?

Which is why I want to have mine built! LOL

Thought I may have had an issue with my linkage, but the car won't shift into first or second from the trans either.I have been thinking about whether or not I want to sell the car. After debating with myself over the last couple weeks with the problems I've had, I've decided I'm going to...

One of my buddies had a set of plugs he never installed into his because he totaled the car. I installed the 6es plugs and gapped at .028, still runs like shit as i thought it would...

Roger that. Ordering them now! :thumb: Now what? lol

I did not change the gapping. Just checked it before I installed. I have a feeling that this isn't a plug related issue though...I'll check out the link. Thanks for your help! Do the coils on these cars usually go bad?

To be honest I don't remember exactly what the gapping was... I just know I gapped them to what autozone's data base said they should be. Are the plugs I have no bueno?

I want to say .032? I know I had them print me off a sheet that had the gapping spec on it. They are NGK GP platinums

Replaced plugs and wires. Gapped to factory specs. (car is stock) problem still occurs. running NGKs.I have a stupid iPhone that can't do anything so that won't do me any good... What was I thinking when I switched from Android? :ohdamn:

I'll take a look! Thanks! And as far as the multimeter testing goes... How is that done? I've never done it before or seen it done.I'll eventually get full exhaust and manifold. I just simply don't' have the cash right now and am more concerned about it working properly than going fast...

That "exhaust leak" is the previous owner brilliant idea of how to make his car sound great... Cut it. I ordered a new cat back yesterday. Waiting for it to get here. Until then, the cut out issue is probably the biggest issue running wise and I'm hoping that it may be linked to the surge issue...

There is nothing listed in the mods section because there is none. Car is completely stock.Best place to buy one?

Sounds like I am going to have a fun evening. Between this and my cut out issue I really just want to burn the car :banghead:

Sorry, first DSM for me. Feel kind of stupid here :coy: :ohdamn: I did try to drive the car and what feel like first gear is actually 3rd...I'll give it a shot. I had a hard time seeing last night as it was dark and I didn't pull the intake off. I'll check today when I get off of work...

I think I may just take it to a shop and see what the hell is going on.... This car became more of a project than I thought it would be :(

Thank you for all of your input. I'm going to read up on the ISC as I have never messed with one before... I may unplug the knock sensor and try to run the car to see if that may be an issue. Wish me luck. Going in blind here! :pray:

Bled the master cylinder again and still can't shift...GSX won't shift into 1st or 2nd - YouTube

This is freaking awesome man! :thumb: Getting pretty damn close to that 9 second pass! I will see you at tx2k13! Well.... If I can ever catch up to you that is ROFL

ECU should be in today. I'll swap it out and keep you guys posted on what happens. Really hoping this fixes the problem.I changed out the ECU. Didn't fix a damn thing. :cry: I'm starting to get extremely frustrated... I don't know where else to check. :banghead:Also, pulled the old ECU and...

Alright, I'll give that a shot. Looks like the girlfriend is going to help whether she likes it or not! LOL Again, thanks for all of your help guys. I really do appreciate it! :thumb:

I tried... Posted a video, go to my thread about it!

I'm with you on this one.

I bought the ECU from mustangmurdera today. Said he would ship it out today so hopefully I'll have it in the next couple days. I'll start from there and move on. What I really need help with right now is this stupid clutch adjustment :mad:

exactly! lol. i want a color that has a lot of depth.

is the car backfiring at all?
