Why I'm even worried is due to the dummy oil light being thrown on (after warming up and hitting a red light).I have replaced it with an OEM one as well. I tested the opening before and Im only at like 6-7psi of oil pressure after being warmed up.That is scary low. If you give it gas it...
So i added 2 full quarts of oil (after dumping it out) and still was unable to manually prime this oil pump (with pressure getting harder, and oil to go out the head.When starting from cold, i only get 35psi and about 90 when on the gas. Does that sound right? (checked at oil pressure sending...
Yes it was primed with the timing of first. And before this reading I tried the hand pump way of priming http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-engine-fuel/286487-how-prime-oil-pump-timing-components-already-installed.htmlFunny part was I never got oil to hit the top, or that i could...
Not Harbor freight but close enough. lolOuch i figured that, Okay here is a list of what was changed out.Oil filter housing (new oem)
Pickup tube (oem)
Oil pump (also oem)
Balance shaft removal kitAnd still this mess.
Hey guys,Long time no visit here. I have ran into another low oil pressure problem and could use some advice. I have currently only had time to check the top end for pressure.When removing the oil cap: pressure is felt. And giving it gas will have a couple drops of oil come out the top...
Yup machine shop that did the Bearings, also did balance shaft removal, and guarantee both are done perfect.Also used 2 diff oil filters, Fram and Mobil same exact issue with pressure.After warmed up dummy light will go on at idle, and will go off when given a little gas. The light goes...

Thanks! So far so good with this new battery. Any way to test if I have a faulty alternator possibly causing bad cells? I get strong voltage readings 14.4 but not sure why I'm going through batteries like this.
Weird issue: When I hit the hazards, or turn signal the dome lights blink too. Just on battery and with the car on.Short right?! Even though short tester came out negative?
I did it and I started with 92- and in no time was at 88.2. So I went ahead and brought all 3 batteries to PepBoys to test. Guess what.... ALL BAD! Even the 3 month old one! The Interstate I chucked since I had no warranty, and the yr old Optima was down 3 cells, with the 3 month down 1 cell...
You are the man when it comes to this. I went through pretty much the whole list now.Need help findingETACS-ECU locationAuto Tranny controller (was auto turned to 5spd so still may be there)ign/lighting motor/and seat belt buzzers. NONE of those ever worked on my car.Rest can be...
I am measuring .1Amp by disconnecting the Negative terminal and sticking the black lead (Com setting) and the other side is hooked up to the negative post (10a fused). Also when I pull Room Lamp fuse 0 amps is my reading.If I open a door or hatch, i get a reading near 2-4amps so I am hooked...
Yes with disconnecting the Negative cable, I drained the battery leaving the POSITIVE still connected. So yup def a drain. If I put on the Negative cable I see a small physical spark so something is draining/shorting. 20-50 amps I would laugh it off but I'm tiered of jumping this car all the...
Still need help with cold starting. Not sure about bad fuel pump since it smelled like hardcore fuel when I tried to start it, and wide band was reading uber rich as it was.Here are 2 new videos.1-23-2012 Trying to start when cold again. WITH a jump pack still not working. :(...
After 4 days with (negative cable OFF) the car magically had 9.3 volts. This proves it is a short somewhere correct? It can not be the batteries fault, since I tried this with 3 others including the Si's which is my daily driver currently.
Will attempt to take all day trying out all things listed above. We can knock out coolant temp though. It is working as shown in the log. Car has not been turned on.Also i listed my settings log of V3 just in case.
Brand New plugs and wires. Car was automatic turned into 5spd.B&m adjustable fuel pressure regulator (reading 40psi when trying to start,gauge on top fuel filter)DsmLink v3. Tuned for 550 injectors (stock fuel pump), but not road tuned since I read pig rich at full throttle on highway while...
Thank you for suggestions been busy with work so still need to try all things listed. I have noticed my starter ACC wire (small wire) is half a Volt less than battery terminal.Does this function as an on off/switch or correct voltage needed and bases that on turning rotation speed?
I am trying to use my oem keyless entry but am not sure if it's still in the car. Is it located under the drivers seat?And when I lock the car I see the green security. Does that mean oem alarm is still in the car?Thanks
Daily driver, when I took this it was maybe 25F. Brand new (1 day old) Optima battery, also used other batteries and same issue.Will check this tonight. Didn't think about that even
Car will not start when cold. Any ideas? New Battery (optima red top), new fuel filter, new starter (bosch) so far.COLD START:IMG_0538.MOV - YouTubeWARM START:IMG_0540.MOV - YouTube
I know this is 3 years old, but am going to bump it to see if an answer was finally found. I am in a similar situation and am days into finding my leak now.http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/424216-10amp-draw-room-lamp-fuse-draining-battery.html#post152840912Did i miss...
I am constantly draining my battery in the course of a couple days. After an Amp test I narrowed it down to the Room Lamp Fuse in the engine bay.I went through all fuses and the 2 relays in the drivers side kick panel (no change).
Unplugged ECU and also Radio (still drawing).Are there any...
Hey guys I just received a free hks turbo timer with the wires cut. It's 5 wire and I have black as ground, red as 12v so far. What's acc? Parking brake? The rest?Thanks
Ouch that sucks. I know the starter won't work I tried the drill method as well I just got lazy with videos because all were reading 0psi. Trust me my local dealership took 2 of them back. All sealed and from their New Jersey warehouse.I still have 1 of the "bad" OEM pumps at the house. $150...
4 bad oem pumps! How this is possible I have no idea. Guess what solved my mess...... Proline!Of all the bad horror stories on this board, Proline saved the day. All I had to do was install and spin with a drill. Presto! 10psi with a great flow.Time to put the legos back together and fire it...
***Update***I have tried priming this pump with the way listed above along with the other ways listed. I still have 0 psi before starting. Fuel and spark are disconnected for this test.skip to 30 seconds

6 bolt in a 1997 GsXThis is turning into a rebuild from hell! 3rd oil pump (Mitsu not Proline) , blew out my head due to lack of oil pressure.My question is, with a mechanical oil pressure gauge connected; what should the normal psi be with spark and fuel disconnected? I am getting a 0...
Update: I got 0 oil when I took of my oil filter housing. Balance shafts are still in this car and a brand new oil pump/ front case is installed. Drill method on oil pump produces nothing.Can someone post the oil diagram again? I can't find it anwhere. Other than taking the front case off...
Great post. Thanks. I should have noted my head is currently of the car, and no drops of oil are going through the ports in the block. So tommorow I will take the sender out and spin it with the drill again. My question is what if at that point I do not get gushing? My passages should be free...
Question: can you check oil pressure on a car without the timing belt on, or cranking it over when it's all connected?I still believe I have no oil pressure after a new oil pump install. I have tried the drill on oil pump sprocket and not even a drop of oil reached the headis there any...

this is my 97 2g GsX with the problem. I tried putting the battery in the front, but same thing 0 everywhere. U name it it's 0. And strobe light will not light up either by just touching the + Terminal and anywhere near that car.
Will try continuity in the morning. rear strut tower 0. Dude I can't believe this crap myself. 0v! I had my 1g grounded there with the battery in the trunk fine.
I think I got that. What I was trying to go is. Positive probe, on battery terminal. And Negative probe trying to find a ground ANYWHERE. Everything is reading 0. Known ground are reading 0. And the only thing that will work is Neg probe to Neg battery terminal.
4 guage wire ran for all these new grounds, plus the power wire that extends to my trunk.Battery is still not grounded because I can't find a ground in the trunk either.Corrosion is a good idea, but all ground i sanded down to bare metal before using. All terminals are new and clean. From...
