You could create a frame that attaches to the car, and then attach the lexan to the frame in a removable way (ie, studs and nuts, studs and wingnuts, etc) gotta be creative man ;) Just make sure it's safe, you don't want the windows accidentally coming off, or whatever you're using to kill you...
Mine is doing something similar and have tried everything people have already suggested. Have you tried to make sure your engine turns over smoothly? Not some parasitic drag coming from somewhere causing the engine to not want to rotate? Check if you're pulling timing. If these are happening...
Sounds like a less serious form of what's happening to me. Check your mas. Seeing as your 1g it may have nothing to do with it. But it may be "seeing" more air than there is, and overcompensation. If you had a faulty CAS, it shouldn't fire at all. It may be the coil pack like you said...
I'm with Vette. Check your valve timing. If either one of your cams were a tooth off, it'd bend the whole set causing bad compression across all the pistons. I found out that's what happened to my intake valves on my car.
Well, come to find my balance shaft bearing are bad and I can barely turn the rear balance shaft by hand (the one on the oil pump). Also, I have what looks to be bearing material in my oil pan, which is to be expected. Can someone show me pictures of bearing material in the pan because the...
Alright guys, I really need some help here. The car is still pulling timing and I can't figure out why. I've tried everything I can. Would something not right in the bottom end (something out of round, wrong bearings) cause this issue?
Well, I found out it's still retarding timing. Even when in Nuetral. I tried a new knock sensor, and no luck. Also, I noticed that the load was really high, I figured this is because I'm missing my mdp sensor. Does the ECU use the mdp to calculate load? Also, it's gotten difficult to turn the...
Because you're all wheel drive, try it with all the wheels in the air, if you have enough jacks/jackstands to do it. You're right, it does sound as if it's acting like it's in gear. If you have time, take the brake caliper off and see if that gets you different results.
My car used to do this too. There are a few things to look into: Check your TPS, make sure your thottle cable is set correctly, and adjust your BISS screw.TPS-> TPS Adjustment

The thumping almost sounds like a warped rotor. What I don't understand is that it sounds like it wasn't happening before. As for them all being locked, I'd jack up the front, make sure they're turning freely, and then the rear to see which wheels aren't turning and to see which brakes are...
Sorry for bumping this, but I had a thought and want to know what you guys think. I tried testing my knock sensor and couldn't get any voltage from it. So, if there is no voltage from the knock sensor, would that cause the engine to go into 'limp-in' mode. I read on here in another thread that...
For some reason my palm isn't logging. I'm using OBDguage for by 95 (OBDII) GSX. This is the least of my problems though. I just finished rebuilding the motor and the motor is running great. But, for some reason, while my logger was still working, it was pulling timing whenever you'd hit the...
Definitely check the fuses. This happened to my 3kgt, but I never overheated. Also, check and see if your AC fan kicks on when you turn that on, if you have it. That'll also help you trace it down.
I'm not trying to blame him. Maybe I didn't explain myself well. The problem with turning it over by hand was happening before I started the car, therefor bearing being 'cold'. Yes, the car was started after that. I logged it once and tried to move it, but hasn't been running since. I am the one...
Well, I got all my stuff from 99gstracer, who is on the boards here, and he said everything was where it was supposed to be, so I guess I must be torquing them wrong. Also, what you said would make sense if it seized when it was warm. It's seizing when it's cold. The car had never been started.
I don't remember what they're torqued to, but I torqued them to the specs in the haynes manual (some number and then 2 quarter turns). I didn't check the clearences, but I'm gonna do that the next time I get a chance. I know the crank and rods are in specs. That's kinda what I'm thinking, but...
Here's a graph of the load from my logger. I don't think it's supposed to be near this high during idle. We tried to get it to move under it's own power today and it hardly could. It revs slow when you slam on the gas in neutral, and it hardly moves in drive. I have the throttle set right. I...
I'm getting bad gas mileage out of my 95 eclipse GSX automatic. It isn't terrible, but for a 4 cylinder, I'd think it'd be better than 20mpg. I've checked my o2 sensor, and it's fine. I have a 14b with the cat removed. I'm missing a few things, which I can't imagine causing it, but I'm missing...
To make things short, my car idles fine while in gear (D, 1, 2), but Idles around 2k rpm when in Neutral or park. I've tried the idle screw, but maybe I'm just doing it wrong. It does, however, idle correctly when I first start it, but then put it in drive and then in park again, it won't idle...
I recently took out my dash for some repairs, and now that I put it back in, the gauge pod won't light up when the lights are turned on. I imagine this is because I put the wiring harness back in wrong for the gauge. Someone wanna tell me the orientation for the plugs for a 2g gauge pod?
I just got off the phone with TRE, turns out they don't do auto trannies :p They did say it could be the end clutch, but there is probably more than just that, like low hydraulic pressure. So, would replacing the end clutch be a good start?
I did recently drop the pan to swap out the solenoids to new IPT solenoids. There were no metal shavings, though I was missing a magnet. 2 are left though. There were no metal shaving at the time, and tranny fluid has just been replaced. This was about 4 months ago, and maybe 100 miles due to it...
So, you think 4th gear is the end clutch going bad, anyone second that? Also, I'm more worried about the no power under 3k. I can deal with no 4th gear for awhile since I'm rarely on road that the speed limit is about 55mph.
If you've been keeping up with my previous thread: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=255242 I pretty much got it fixed. Pretty much. It works 1-3rd gear, but when 4th (OD) engages, it just jumps into neutral. I have no idea where to start looking for this problem. Also, is it...
I've seen that you can hook the MDP straight to a vacuum source (like the TB) and just set it somewhere secure and that it doesn't need to be in the manifold. i haven't tried it personally, but I saw pictures of it somewhere.
No loss in fuel economy if tuned to compensate correctly. EGR lowers internal temps, so if you remove that, more likely to get knock (or by my understanding). You can still use the MDP by attaching it to any vacuum source. I would keep it if they do any sort of emissions testing.
And to think, I bought the car with that. I'll try and take some more picture when I get around to it, but seriously 150$, I may just sell it since it sounds like the don't work well unless you have ported heads, which I don't and aren't really planning to within the next couple years.
I would check all of the wiring first. I've had lots of problems w/ transmission in my 2g. (which I also have a limp-in thread going). Definatly try a new TCU if you have one available to you.
http://www.autoshop101.com/forms/h62.pdfAll it does is burns the fuel in the air of your fuel tank to keep it from building up pressure. I would just check a junkyard for one, there nothing special.
Alright, I've been stuck in limp in mode since I bought the car in November. Hopefully I'll ask the right questions and give enough information for you guys to help me out. This is on a '95 GSX ATX. EGR, EVAP, MDP are missing. Intake manifold is not stock. Cone Filter. I'm not sure what else had...
I'll try and make a long problem short. It's a '95 eclipse GSXI went the the dealer and got these tranny codes:
41-Open-Circuited shift control solenoid valve A
42-Short -Circuited shift control solenoid valve A
43-Open-Circuited shift control solenoid valve B
44-Short-circuited shift...
If anyone is interested, here are my findings. If your speedo and tack are working, but your in limp mode, it's most likely something with the TCU. I got a OBD2 scan and it said that there is a TCU malfunction. Now, as to what part, I'm not sure. Chances are it's the whole TCU, but I'm gonna get...
I need to replace my speed sensor. Or at least I'm pretty sure that's what it is because that's what the ECU is spitting out for an error code. I don't have any tools where the car (a 95 GSX auto tranny) is located. So, what tools are required? Screwdriver, and what sized wrench? Also, if you...
