    420A 420a Speed sensor

    There are many bolts that go around the entire body of the transmission to attach the bellhousing to the gear case. Take them all apart and pull the differential out, the speedo ring gear will be clipped onto that. Usually its not damaged but has come unclipped from the differential ring gear...

    Fuel rail

    No a 4g63 fuel rail will not fit at all, the spacing between injectors is all wrong. You already have a '95 so your return system will be easy to adapt to whatever you decide to use for your fuel system.

    rough idle, popping, hesitating at speed

    For one thing get that bosch garbage out of there, use NGK exclusively, despite manufacturers best efforts to make products universal, some just work better than others. It could be excessive carbon buildup, if there is a bunch of carbon on the intake valves then you will get inconsistant...

    Will GS Radiator fans bolt to a GSX?

    I am using an aluminum radiator meant for a 2g turbo in my car with my stock fans for a 420a, so yes they will attach to the radiator just fine, not positive about about being the same power plugs though.

    rough idle, popping, hesitating at speed

    EVAP would be your charcoal canister and the related hoses and valves. I have never removed EVAP from a 420a so I do not know the symptoms it might cause, but I have removed EGR and found it to cause idle quality problems (though not severe enough to cause vibrations). The EGR tube will clog...

    rough idle, popping, hesitating at speed

    Not sure where you found your error code descriptions, but 12 is power disconnected in the last 50 starts, and 55 is end of codes...nothing abnormal there...Does this car still have all the emissions ? EVAP and EGR ?

    this guy thinks his talon has a 6 cyl?

    I am always amazed at how little some people know about their own cars. People call to order parts or ask a question, i'm lucky if they know what kind of car they have let alone the year of it. Forget about knowing which engine it is, just give me the VIN and i'll take it from there thanks...

    edz swap, rough idle, no throttle response, no power!

    Okie dokie, so you moved your cam magnet (clockwise when you are looking at it) 90degrees, but you did this when the cams were lined up with the 2.0 marks opposing eachother...this would put your timing off by a few degrees due to the angle difference in the alignment marks. So you have your...

    edz swap, rough idle, no throttle response, no power!

    So in your other thread you said you timed it with the marks on the gears to the outside, this is wrong you should time it just like normal with the marks to the inside. If you have not corrected this yet then is it possible that your cam magnet is 180degrees off ?

    edz swap, rough idle, no throttle response, no power!

    Ah ha you did not move your injectors correctly, the proper order should be 2-4 4-3 3-1 1-2. 2.0 firing order as far as the PCM is concerned is 1-3-4-2, the 2.4 as far as the PCM is concerned is 2-1-3-4. Thus they should be moved in that order. Fix that and report back.A more thourough...

    edz swap, rough idle, no throttle response, no power!

    At least they are on the map now. That cam magnet is going to be a key player in ignition/fuel timing. Not that it should work with 2.4 cams but you did use the 2.0 cams right ? Double check that Injector harness that you switched all the pins correctly ?

    edz swap, rough idle, no throttle response, no power!

    I can't speak about the power difference between a low compression 2.4 and stock 2.0, but I do know your engine is not gonna have a lot of power if you are starving it of fuel. People have broken pistons driving their 2.4 swaps on stock injectors, just stop running it until you either get...

    edz swap, rough idle, no throttle response, no power!

    If you are running stock injectors then its running very lean. Try 60psi that should put you in the neighborhood, but if youre gonna do this via fuel pressure you are gonna need a way to view the ECUs fuel trims, and or a wideband.
  15. BoostedPhoenix

    edz swap, rough idle, no throttle response, no power!

    No 2.4 injectors are the same as 2.0litre injectors the difference is in the computer, that is why all the writeups tell you to use 24lb injectors. If you have adjustable fuel pressure then yes you should increase it, i'm sure there is a calculator around that will be able to estimate how much.
  16. BoostedPhoenix

    edz swap, rough idle, no throttle response, no power!

    2.4 injectors are not big enough you need 24lb injectors for the 2.0l ECU to run it correctly.

    Fully Rebuilt OEM 420a Engine Eats Oil

    You do not simply check your ring end gap, you set it by grinding the ends of the rings to fit the specified gap. 190psi is low for a 850 mile motor, Spec is 210psi so it sounds like either you did not get the rings seated properly or they were not correctly installed/gapped.

    Piston removal questions for pro's

    People hone cylinders with the block in the car all the time, thus the suggestion to cover the crankshaft. The end result of honing a cylinder is metal particles no different than when a brand new engine is seating the rings. Only he will actually have a chance to clean things when he is done.

    I remember reading about a Neon back around '03 (when I bought my avenger) who had 8:1 pistons and his cam gears came apart, and after his experience decided that with that deep of a dish made his engine non-interference :P at least with the cams he was running. Its been so long they could have...

    edz swap timing problems! need help!

    You should line your timing marks up just the same as you would if you were timing a stock 2.4l the only modifications that need to be made are to the cam magnet, injector wiring, and coil wires. In essence you are running a "stock" 2.4 you just need to modify the electronics to make your stock...

    420a idles rough and dies? bad gas mileage

    I had never heard of this until now, All my cars have been '97s and they have all done it. After some reading it seems some SBEC modules from '98 - '99 did not have this function. Though my sisters '98 neon does have this function so I don't know what to believe now =P

    Well try it, it will work I promise, the Code list can be found in that link. It works on Every car I have had with a Chrysler powertrain, the ones with digital odometers even print out the code numbers instead of flashing them out, its pretty handy.

    420a idles rough and dies? bad gas mileage

    I am not sure why this would not work on a '99 as well, I have never seen one personally but I am fairly sure that it works on any Chrysler PCM before 2001 at least.

    420A 95 Eclipse RS 420a no spark

    Although you flipped the cam sensor 180 degrees, it is still firing igniting in the same sequence, the only thing that would change is that the injectors are now firing in the wrong order, though it should still run like this.

    Hahn portfueler a/f question

    Some of the older piston options for the 420a were down to 8:1 compression, the more recent years they revised them to 8.5 and then 8.8. I suppose it depends how much boost its running, I prefer to see closer to 11.5. With the 4g cars I have run over 12:1 afr on 92 octane, of course I was...

    Does no one really know how its supposed to work ?Every electronic fuel injection system made in the last 20 years does this. With a narrowband O2 your ECU will fluctuate the Air/Fuel mixture from rich to lean to hunt for 14.7/1 mixture. It does this to keep your catalytic converter...

    95 fuel setup

    An FMU is a rising rate pressure regulator, you use it insted of the factory one. Some people leave the factory one and put it inline with the outlet from the fuel rail, that makes the stock one redundant and useless, but its a simple install that way.
