Does anyone know the torque specs for the exhaust manifold nuts? I'm talking about the ones that go from the headers -> engine. ThanksJason Convry

What I usually do is start checking at the source of the problem and work backwards. In this case, pull the fuel line off of the fuel rail and watch is squirt fuel when the car is cranking. Make sure the line you pull off is the one coming from the fuel filter. On 1G DSM's this is the one on the...
I have a 92 GS that isn't getting any spark. I was driving it, when it just died all of a sudden and won't start. I've tried a replacement coil, and tested the power resistor with a D battery. Both seem to be working. What other culprits could there be?ECU and CAS: How do I check these? The...
well i figured 450cc is 450cc, plus someone told me they would work. How could I compensate for it? I mean I can't change the settings or anything. Would a gsx (at idle) dump that much more fuel into the combustion chamber than a GS?ThanksJason
I just put injectors from a '99 gsx into my 92 gs NT 2.0. The car will barely stay running with my foot on the gas and is puffing black smoke. (i dont think its blue - hard to tell). Also needless to say, my plugs are fouled.Injectors from a 99 gsx are still 450cc correct? What else could be...
my bad, i have a NT so maybe it's different. I was just under my car 15 minutes ago and the headers i have are pretty much touching the subframe I'm talking about so you pretty much have to remove mine to get to the mount. I havent been under a turbo car as of yet. good luckjason
I read about that whole springtime DSM failure business, but I dont think it's that. My car was always a little shaky on the cold start. I'm gonna check FPR today and timing. I'll let you know what I find.
OK I know this question has been asked a million times, yada yada yadabut when my car is cold it stalls until i hold my foot on the accelerator until it warms up. Then it operates wonderfully. The things I did to try and fix this problem consist of:new ISC (2 of them - im starting a...
If you're talking about the one in the center of the car all the way to the front that bolts to the center of the front part of the block, then its not that bad. It's actually attached to the center subframe, which has two 17mm bolts in the front and 3 to the rear. Unfortunately, you have to...
There was one injector that was really loud. That one I got a replacement for from national auto parts or something like that. It was 28 bucks. Then to fix the rest of them i just ran the car at 3k for a minute and it went away :) Before I read the manual I was just afraid to run it with all...

I would like to re use as many as I can, instead of spending a whole lot of money. I'm thinking of selling the car soon. Now, the ticking is unnaturally loud, so I may have missed something in the process. If someone has a good knowledge of how hydraulic lifters in our cars work, please give me...
I followed the vfaq on cleaning my hydraulic lifters. Everything went well but now when i put them back in my car won't stop that clattering sound. And it's definitely not supposed to be that loud. It's much louder than before I took them out and cleaned them.The only thing I can think of...
My grandfather used to build Chevy race engines and he is telling me there is a way to replace valve guide seals without taking the head off. You compress the air through the spark plug chamber, and it holds the valves up. The concept makes sense, but I wanted to check with you guys to see if...
Hi, my sister has a 96 RS. It would start up fine if it sat a while, but then when you turn it off and try to restart it, it would just keep turning and not fire up. I replaced the fuel filter which helped for a little while, but now the problem is back. I did the on off on off on thing with the...
Perhaps, but if the lifters are maladjusted, I want to correct the clearance problem. I'm just wondering if the setup on my car is different than my CRX.I know there are two types of lifters: solid and hydraulic (or something like that). Anyone know which type my car has? And how do I adjust...
Lifter tick threads are merged here.My valves are beginning to tick really loudly now and I want to adjust them. I had the same problem in my crx a while back and my grandfather and I adjusted something inside the valve cover, and the problem was fixed in under an hour.I have a haynes...
No, it doesn't slip or anything, it is just loud. It scares people walking by because they always stop and stare and say "what the hell?" I thought it might be something wrong with the parking brake. HmmJason Convry
My check engine light is on, so I checked for codes. I'm not 100% positive, but I'm pretty sure I'm getting more than one code. It goes long-short pause long-short-short pause long-short pause.. etc.Is it possible for the ECU to be throwing multiple codes? The codes I got were oxygen...
This morning i was backing up, put the clutch in, and hit the brakes and heard a very LOUD squeal from the back. At first I thought I had rubbed up against a dumpster that sits there. I only had a chance to glance at the brakes, and they look fine. This only happens when I'm going backwards. Any...
Yeah I just saw them today. It sucks too because I just replaced my down pipe and now realized that I also need to replace a cracked manifold. Could've saved a lot of cash. Oh well, it's just money.Jason
Has anyone had any experience with Borla headers? They're the only company I can find that makes headers for a 1G other than Pacesetter, but I am putting them on myself and don't want to have to take half my car apart to do so. ThanksJason Convry
Thanks everybody. I found it, replaced it, and i started right up. I did manage to skin all the knuckles on my right hand though. :D My sis owes me.Jason
Ok. Do I need to shut off the fuel supply? I know most cars have an emergency fuel shut off switch that needs to be shut off when opening up the fuel lines so it doesn't all poor out. I can't find mine in the 96 RS. Does anybody know where it is?Jason
Thanks man but this is on my sister's car. She has a 96 Eclipse RS. Any idea where it is on her car? I can't find it anywhere online and I have half the engine bay torn apart. (I got frustrated) :-)Jason
The only thing bolted to the firewall behind the battery is a tiny little thing with two bolts (they look like banjo bolts) but it's right above the axle and when I turn the steering wheel, some sort of metal rod assembly (sorry for the lame description) turns with the wheel and goes right into...
Hi, I need help with replacing my fuel filter. My sisters 96 RS won't start and I think it's a clogged filter. I can't really find the filter. Someone said it's behind the battery. But if someone can give me a basic step by step process, or give me a link to instructions, i'd really appreciate...
Hi I need to buy headers for my car, but want to keep it cheap. Other than pacesetter which I've heard horror stories about, what inexpensive headers are out there for a 1G DOHC? Thanks allJason Convry
Thanks, I'll probably try them out then. Do you have any experience installing them? Can you give me any pointers? Also, what fitment issues are there? And what other than WD-40 can help me get the bolts off the manifold?Jason
I was informed today that my exhaust manifold is cracked and needs replacing. Now I'm under the impression that if I get aftermarket headers, they will completely replace the factory exhaust manifold. I really hope so.If this is true, what brand of headers should I get? I'm not worried about...
Yep. I used a toothbrush. It worked ok, but if the metal polish doesn't work I'm gonna try using a tougher brush like the one Advance auto parts sells for detailing. That should do it.
Thanks, but they don't. I already checked. I checked out the RRE page, but it looks pretty sketchy. I'd rather order from somewhere more well-known.Jason
I just got my Eclipse and it had really cloudy headlights. I used the toothpaste method and it helped a LOT. Too bad now my left light is clearer than my right and it looks retarded. :pI'm gonna try the Eagle One metal polsih
I'm looking for a 1g ES bushing set, but I can't find one on all the usual sites. Anyone know where to get one? Someone said RRE but I don't know what that stands for :DJason
