i just spent well over a month troubleshooting an issue similar. i went through everything 3 times trying to fix my hot start issue, nothing worked. The Coolant temp sensor was reading fine on DSMlink, i tried 3 sensors, 1 new, one from a working car, and the used one i had.I ended up just...

so i found a work around for my issue. I went and got a new coolant sensor, tried it and same thing. So i plugged in the old one and just zip tied it down. So it's reading the temp under the hood, and the car starts every time now. :Dis there any down side to doing this? it fixes my issue...

:hmm: ok well help me understand then. i just don't get why trying to pop the clutch will help with an issue of no spark/fuel? if i try it or not i still don't get what info i'll gain from it

i've done all those "fixes" they don't work for me. The sensor i got from my friend we pulled from the car he drove over, think about it, it makes sense that it's not faulty lol. i plan on trying a "new" temp sensor but still. if i try to roll start the car and it doesn't work it'll be out...

no it doesn't smoke, i just put a new stock headgasket on when i redid the head. The rings are new so i'm only getting 100psi but it's not had a chance to seal so i'm assuming that's still ok.no my stock FPS isn't on the fuel rail, not sure if i threw it away or not lol. How do i "check"...

i know there's a few threads on hot start issues however mine is just weird and after months of replacing shit i'm out of $$ and so confused.i have a 90 Eclipse, gsx/awd, dsmlink and my profile should be up-to-date for more info. My hot start issue is once the car warms up(180º+) it wont...

So i have a 1990 Eclipse with an aftermarket moonroof. I can't find any numbers or name on it so i've no idea where to get a seal from. Before i was sure it was aftermarket i want to the salvage to get a used seal but i saw it was no where near the same :(mine leaks very badly, i've tried...

uhh wow... maybe w/o the chick it'd be a good pic

he even called people about buying their rims, tranny, etc for the supra he doesn't own, WTF. Poor kid, something's wrong with him

buy a 250cc ninja or something, ditch the scooter lol. Sure you'll get laughed at by some bikers for the 250, but it's better than being laughed at by everyone :D

ouch that's bad, i hope that it's not like yours. on a side note did you get it rebuilt yet? if so how does it run?

wow i'm having pretty much the same problems as you. This thread is helpful for testing procedures, as i've replaced everything it could be while i was upgrading, some with new(Coils, Ecu[Dsmlink rebuild], Injectors, plugs) others used(PT,CAS,Wires) so at least i should be able to narrow it...

i always talk to the prosecutor, and i've never had to go to court. I don't get very many tickets but still the prosecutor has always helped me and my friends stay clean as far as insurance is concerned.

wait wait wait, by reading the procedure i thought i could unplug the PT and test it by connecting my alligator clips to the pins of the PT. It sounds like from you guys that i should leave it plugged in and test it?i figured since i was using 12v source and all it didn't need to be plugged...

bah i labeled my txt image wrong, i had the correct pins though, i did it 3 times now and nothing. besides either way i had it with pins 4-6 the first 3 pins should of lit up for cylinders 1 and 4.I've used the Host start link and done them all.however i need to see if it's vapor lock...

So i'm having a hot start issue atm and have replaced the CAS and was trying to test the Power Transistor. I just really want to make sure that i'm testing it right as well that the transistor is dead. Either way i'm trying to get my hands on another one but still, i can't find one in town...

+1 i think all the blue on the car would have to go. You can have a nice car turn heads w/o looking like a rice wagon. wow in fact the more and more i look at that car it just kills me, you turn heads but they'll be laughing, kinda like the rusty hood trend lol. The body does look pretty...

hahah like every other day :hellyeah: but i don't think i could do it :nono:unless my 2g decided to CW then ### it :sneaky:

how the hell are you going to post that with no mod list?!?! lol wtf mannice vid there tho :D

wow makes since and it would of been very helpful before i had eliminated the BS

on my 2g my LICP was smaller than the Supra IC pipe so i just used 2 couplers. the 2"(or whatever size the LICP is) coupler on the Pipe and then a 2.5" 45º bend. Fit nice and snug holds 20+ psi.

I've recently researched this as i'm fixing to do the VR4 calipers w/ cobra rotors as wellThe Baer part # for the hub centric rings is 6260127, $12 each

so i was finally able to borrow an air compressor, first cylinder was as expected with having good psi on compression but i still wanted to test it to see what a good cylinder sounded like.the other 3 leaked horribly all through intake and exhaust valves, even though i JUST had the head done...

ya 1-3 psi in cyl 2, it hardly showed up. with oil it only went up to about 10 tops :(yes i did bleed all the lifters, i double checked each one. i did have the timing 1 tooth off(looked right, damn 1g is at an angle compared to my old 2g lol) that's corrected now.I'm already trying...

ok so i just got this car a couple months ago and have been slowely putting it together. Either way i decided to do a rebuild because it had Low compression to begin with... I sent the head to the shop and they said 2 valve guides were shattered and i needed 5 valves. Ok got them replaced...

ya i guess i'll do that, dunno why i didn't think to go pillage one of those cars. If it ever stops ###ING RAINING i'll swing by one after work lol. been raining for over a week straight :cry:

trying to find some of the little plastic tabs that hold the interior pieces in and no idea where to find some.I have a 90 eclipse so every time i take something off i break a hand full of them since they're so old? i don't know why, i never broke my 2G's plastic pieces but whatever...

i need several misc parts like asap so sooner the better :)

i'm telling ya, just drop the tranny and replace filter lol, so much easier and you would of been done by now :D

ya i ran w/o a cat for years and never got a cel from the 2nd O2 sensor. Just make a O2 bypass sim if you ever get a cel

ya i had heard it was a pain and didn't believe them until i tried it when i first got my dsm. I just waited till i pulled my tranny, it was 90% easier :D

I motion for best thread of the Month, do i hear a 2nd? lol

it COULD have messed up the timing but i doubt it. either way it's nothing to joke about, just check it, takes only a few mins to check vs several hundred to fix. When my BS seized up it grenaded my BS sprocket :/ so i figured it was a good time to eliminate the BS's lol.You need to pull...

So i've no idea where to put this but i'll throw it in here because of why i'm wanting this.I'm looking for a double din touch screen radio with windows that i can install software on, aka DSMLink, and LC-1 wideband software.I know i've seen some touch screen dvd players on the Infinity...

the metal nipple from the valve cover. i know it will function w/o it fine but i'd rather run a hose to my catch can so i don't have oil all over the place.

So i got this valve cover in GREAT condition, just it's missing the breather tube. It's not broken off in there it's just gone. Any idea's what i can replace this with? I went to the salvage to find one to try and pry out but didn't see anyI'm assuming i can just jb weld in a hollow tube...

Fixed lolOMG i've lost so much shit in my engine... Lucky i've managed to find all but a socket or two lol. a long magnet and a claw(dunno what it's called, 2' long thing with a claw at the end) have to be my most valuable tools ever, a very close 2nd are 10/12/14/17mm ratcheting wrenches...

i just did loops on the highway till i had everything correct. didn't take long and it solved 100% of my spike issues i had with the MBC. I love it, very easy and quick to setup the basics. the highway was just to fine tune some stuff.

there's several of us here in wichita you just have to know where to look :D I've been here for years... unfortunately...a local forum is Wichitaracing dot com most of the people on there are pretty cool

+1 i'd have to say it'd probably freak me out at first but then i'd just turn the key off... unless that's stuck too :Dehh at least it's a good excuse to max out the car and get away with it lol

if you have a 90 1g i might take you up on that sometime, if i can fix my other issue then i'll worry more about what this last plug is

Kick ass thanks! i'll delete that pic as we know where it goes nowso is the top plug there(firewall side) the CAS plug? or is it the bottom one, which comes down from the where the positive terminal is. and still not sure what the other one is.Someone mentioned cruise control...

wow at least i'm not the only one loli wish i was at home to double check that it's right, but i already have something plugged into my coolant temp sensoras for the top plug it's gotta be CAS because the car fired up right? that's what i have the CAS plugged into.. the 2nd plug in the...

ok really i've done a lot of searching and come up with nothing for these 2. I bought the car like this and i only owned a 2g before this so ya...every other plug is accounted for but these 2, no idea. And i'll assume i got the CAS pluged into the right plug because the car started lol...

i did 2 and a half on that one and no jump what so ever. i guess i have it wrong, i thought if it went up it was head gasket, if it didn't it was rings...

Well i'll try and keep it short. 2 months ago i come across a heck of a deal on a 90 Gsx, not running. He claimed it was because he lacked the effort to get everything else it needed and put it all together. Seemed pretty straight and everything he's ever told me about the car matched up so...

bad ass but i'm not sure i want to pay $80 :( maybe once i get everything else all done up on the car i'll go for these

so i just got my Evo 8 rims on and they look sexy :DBut i've not been able to find out how low i can drop it w/o it rubbing with stock evo tire size, anyone know?

not sure on a 2g but i'd think that's pushing it, depends on if your lowered or stock and how much you want to rub :)but no really here's a thread that should answer that: 2g Wheels and Tires Size Questions [merged] fit fitment
