The header crack isn't going to cause any issue, could be several things still, plugs/wires, mas sensor, fuel issue. Need to have it diagnosed further, looking at fuel trim values and mas readings.

3 years fellas, lol hope he got it all straight by now

Are you sure you are spot on with the AC2? Fuel Pressure staying OK and wideband reading up to the point of the cut out?

It sounds more to me like you have something incorrect, like the flex plate on backwards, or the torque converter not properly seated, or damaged or incorrect torque converter bolts. The question is if it will not spin, then I assume you never even get as far as bolting the torque converter to...

If you still can't get it let me know, if its driveable I have a friend that runs a shop that's probably not too far from you that could take care of it.

Its really not a good idea to just replaced bearings alone. Especially if they were that worn out, they probably started to wear the crankshaft. The crank must be perfectly smooth and sized correctly. The oil clearances need to be exact down to the thousandths of an inch. When a bearing in...

I can do it as well. I have over 16 years experience on these cars and I am an ASE master tech. Let me know if you are interested, you can text me at 301-991-6501

If there is power at the resistor box? Does the car have spark? Should be a red wire at the resistor box that's positive. Ecu then controls the ground side of the injector, so if you have tried a known good ecu, and you have spark, then I would say it must be a wiring issue. If there is...

any ideas for rescheduling

I'll try to make it. Have a few interesting cars to bring but not sure if we will be ready to run anything.

yea sounds like you just have to rule things out still. I had a few with debris in the tank that would cause issues, could have clogged the fuel filter as well. boost leaks, bad ecu, bad mas, bad coil/wires/plugs, timing off, all could cause similar issues. speedometer not working could be...

there should be a small mark on the inside left corner of the windshield, and there can not be anything below that line. your building a stealth and you don't know who i am lol got about 15 plus years on them and I did nothing but build stealths and 3000gts at my place for about 8 years. I...

Dave down in Ashburn, long time dsm tuner, just bought his own awd dyno, 540-903-5652

car looks familiar, you run it out on 40 let me know if you need any mechanical help, i have about 15 years experience on these and work at a shop. Have a few thousand horsepower sitting down here at my place now LOL

feel free to text or pm me, im at a shop in wv and i have a ton of dsm/mitsu experience, especially in the aftermarket world, seth- 301-991-6501

Have you checked the IAC motor? Older style ones (brown housing) are junk and fail frequently. newer style (black housing) are usually fine. Theres a simple resistance test to check them, the plunger could be getting stuck.

Yea no way to dial it in without a wideband but I have seen a million guys run around 19psi for a long time without any tune and do just fine. Of course its not making the power it should or running as efficiently as it can, but your not in danger of damaging anything.

Right, and you would be amazed how many people skip on the tensioner to save money because it looks ok when they replace the belt. I am a 15 year mitsu tech and I have seen several failed tensioners to 1 or 2 failed timing belts.

fyi I have seen hydraulic timing tensioners go bad on these and 3000gt's after years of sitting. then when somebody goes out and gets a strong crank on it, it jumps timing instantly because the tensioner is smashed in, sometimes enough to bend valves. Think about how potentially old the...

I am about an hour down but I can help as well

I think you called me and was supposed to come up but never came. I can still take care of whatever you need though

there are tons of insp stations around. If you are looking for someone to be lenient its probably not going to happen. They really cracked down on that in the last several years. I know people that have offered several hundred dollars to try to get the car slipped through and places refuse to...

Not sure about that far about but a decent amount in Hagerstown. Just head over to route 40 any Saturday night and you will likely find several out cruising.

I'm decent with steel but I don't have a good enough machine to do aluminum. I do however have a guy about 30 mins from me that I take aluminum to when I need it done. He is cheap and does a good job. I'm in hagerstown md if that helps.

I would go back to a full size radiator. Typically on high hp applications where we are giving up that space for the turbo we cut the lower supports out and weld in a new piece of flat or angle iron further forward and make our own lower radiator supports to relocate the radiator further forward.

I'm about 20 mins away and I have a very experienced tuner that comes up on the weekends. I don't think you will find anybody close super familiar with jackal but a good tuner knows tuning and the only difference would be navigating the software. It's not really that simple doing the actual...

Yea I know it's a hike for most of you guys. I was just saying because its such a big event and there's alot to do.

What about this Saturday at Carlisle. There's always a ton of DSM's there. Plus all kinds of crap, drifting, dyno, burnout contest, bikini contest, stunts, etc. Should be well over 1000 cars there.

All good reputable shops but you will pay top dollar. I run a smaller place and I have over 13 years experience with DSM's so I can charge a little less than most places.

If be cautious there. I'm Not out just to promote myself, but I have friends heavily into the street racing seen around Baltimore and word is getting around about several people having bad issues with motors built by Jackson. I mean who knows if they are abusing the motors too much or not...

I have a shop in hagerstown md and I have over 13 years experience with mitsubishis. I have built some of the fastest 3000gts on this side of the country as well. I do tuning also. Give me a call if you are interested. Thanks, Seth 301-991-6501

Hello I am probably 2 hours away from you but I have a shop and I am highly experienced in Mitsubishi cars. If you are still looking for a place I would make it worth your while to come up and have some work done. I offer towing as well. Let me know or give me a call if you have any questions...

Yea you may as well hang on to it. This is one of the worst times I've seen in years to sell a car. Prices are way down. I typically sell at least 5 or 6 turbo cars a year and I've had to go thousands below the normal prices. If you really had to sell it, I would say you probably would only get...

We can take care of whatever you needGive me a call 301-991-6501. Seth Auto velocity

I can take care of whatever work you need done. As for inspection though they have really cracked down on people passing cars that shouldn't be so its really hard to find anybody to do that anymore, even for a few extra hundred bucks. If those guys get caught they lose their license and get...

If its really that much of a race car it needs to be on the dyno anyway. Otherwise you need to go out away from the city to country roads. At least throw some kind of tag on it.

Why don't you rebuild so that you never have to go through this again. I have a highly experienced rebuilder and we could get it done quick for a decent price. Heck I can do the whole job if you want, even come get the car and tow it to my shop. I have spare transmissions but they are both 97.

I am in hagerstown at the corner of I-81 and I-70 Yea I can do dsmlinkI would go with experience on mitsu blocks and for the area in general Jackson is probably who you here the most about. I know my guys are highly experienced because this is what I do for a living and I've been dong it for...

There's a place 2 mins from me. Right off I81 first md exit from wv. Trans wheel, but be prepared because it is costly. Probably cheaper to find other good used wheels.

I am a little outside of Baltimore but I have a shop and I am highly experienced with these cars. I also have an excellent machine shop I have worked with for years. I normally do street tuning but we have access to a dyno as well.

Brad is definitely the best but he's so in demand he's usually hard to get ahold of

I used to work with both of the tuners for ISP and AMS, back in the day we were all at altered atmosphere. I do tuning now as well but I do not have a dyno. We street tune here and we only go to the dyno if absolutely necessary, usually saves time and money.

we can tune that no problem but we're about 3 hours away. I would make it worth your while though, feel free to call me if its an option, 301-991-6501 Seth

Next time you guys go feel free to call me if you have any issues or need a tow or just to get your car up on a lift to do anything. That way you can push it a little more and not be worried. I have alot of random DSM parts here too. My place is like 10 minutes from the track. 301-991-6501, Seth

I do tons of dsm's, I am in Hagerstown. 13+ years experience on mitsu's and I am one of the most experienced 3000GT/Stealth techs on this side of the country. I have guys that do my ecu's, a guy that does all my trans builds, and a local machine shop I have been using for years. We do...

stop down at myplace sometime, down downsville pike towards downsville on the right. red brick house, always a ton of 3000gt/stealths sitting around and a few dsm's, sometimes supras, rx-7's, etc. I have a shop called Auto Velocity.

I run a shop, I have 13 years experience rooted in Mitsubishi cars.I'm just saying the most common things I see.The cars don't typically run just slightly over temp, they either overheat or run normal.You need to establish a base here, maybe drive until the cars gets up to temp...

Its probably just the gauge, if the stock one reads normal I wouldn't worry about it. Sometimes the aftermarket gauge sending unit are suspect. Some ground through the sensor and if someone put sealant on the threads to help it from leaking then it can mess up the readings.
