    How to check stock air flow meter?

    Does anyone have a clue how to check these things? I read that first gen mas are pieces of sh*t . I tried looking up the service manual but it only talks about checking the signal from the computer to the sensor. No info at all!!!!!!.:cry:I read on vfaq that I might be able to swap my 1g mas...

    How to check stock air flow meter?

    I think I blew my airflow meter because the car is running really bad. It idles really rough and it feels like it wants to turn off. I think that the computer is making my car missfire because the pulse width of the injectors is either too short or long. Does anyone have a clue how to check...

    Car running like sh*t! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ok, I put a new headgasket with arp head studs. The car pulled hard at 15psi but one night I stomped on it and I felt the power go down the drain. The car idles like s*it and it spools fine but it has no power at 5k plus. It can't be the timming or the ignition system ### the car was running...

    Spyder Car won't pass inspection! North Carolina

    Starting on 1996 the cars are ob2 so they use two o2 sensors. The upstream sensor is used as an input for fuel trim and the downstream sensor is used to check the cat. Make sure you have both sensors in the right spot because the downstream sensor is slower than the upstream sensor! Check your...

    Where can i find a Seal for my bov that seals the UICP?

    I'd say go to a auto body and paint store and look for some plastic adhesives! I know for a fact that they have some that will work ### i use to use them when I worked on a body shop. I used them to bond quarter panels together. Sorry I can't remember the name but it comes in two tubes and it...

    done with honda, new to DSM

    I agree, leak down and compression tests! Maintence, brakes, check the turbo!

    low compression on a fresh motor

    Rebuild the turbo and deck the block! You have to deck the block when you use metal head gaskets. Both the head and the block have to be perfect so you wont have any leaks! That could be your problem!.:(

    Hesitation once car is Warm!! 1g NT

    Try your EGR valve it could getting stuck open and creating a huge vacum leak! They usually get full with carbon crap and don't seat properly. All you need is a vacuum pump and it should make the engine stumble when you apply vacuum and it should idle smooth when it has no vacuum. Try it!:thumb:

    blew my 420A.

    I know what you feel man ### I threw a rod on my old 95 n/a!.:cry: Good thing you got an extra block. How did you blow it up? I blew mine when I didn't knew shit about cars and didn't check the oil on it and stomped on it hard!:shhh: I still have the rod it threw as a trophy!LOL

    Which Wire To Which On Projectors

    If I were you man I would get me a test light and start figuring out what each wire does with the switch open and closed and with the high beams on. I wouldn't cut anything until I figure it out on the oem lights! I've done it before for my friends 95 gs and it worked out fine. I would also...

    rev but wont go

    Have you checked your shift linkage for damage! It may not be shifting your tranny properly. If your linkage is ok you probably f*ckd your friction plates and you tranny is slipping so you need another rebuild! Check your tranny fluid for metal particles and a burnt smell. If it has metal you...

    No spark

    Get a spark tester and check for spark! Sometimes you do get spark but not half an inch of spark. I would check the spark plugs, the power transistor, the coils, and definently adjust the timming.

    need help-fuel to rail but injectors are not pulsing

    If I were you I would check that Ect code first. The Ect is one of the high authority sensors that the computer looks at to determine pulse width and fuel trim! After that I would do a noid test to check if in fact the computer is pulsing the injectors. As you probably know the injectors have to...

    Engine shakes... Balance Shafts Removed! Knock sensor?

    You need to fix your tb gasket and the the idle screw man! How do you expect to find a solution if you don't fix those air leaks first!!!!:nono:

    1G Dimmer Switch Shorted

    I would check them for continuity with an ohmeter and if they are open I know I just blew them gauges and need to buy some NEW ONES!:cry:

    Cylinder Head

    Are you sure it was only the head? Did you check the oil for metal particles in it? Did the sound get worse with speed and it made a clunk sound? The best thing you can hope for is your head being bad! I don't mean to scare you but theres a big possibilitie your bottom end is done for especially...

    alternator

    It sounds like you have a loose belt. If the alternator is not charging the battery it can cause ignition problems. Put a volt meter parallel to the battery (POS/NEG). If it is charging it should go over 14 volts and then the regulator kicks in if its not it should have low voltage ### it's not...

    sitting car??? coolant in the cylinders...

    If I were you I would rebuild or change it! The rings get bad if coolent gets into them it seizes the engine if its not fixed. It's not going to be cheap so go jdm. I would consider the opportunity to put some goodies down there like a rotating assembly ### a new motor is going to be as much as...

    Need help timing belt

    Do a compression test on it if it has no compression your valves are bent. You can also take off the valve cover and see if the springs are compressed and turn the engine with a ratchet at the crank pulley if they stay compressed when the cam lobe is off the valve that means the valves are bent...

    Speedometer, throttle position, idle problems

    The rule of thumb for a tp sensor is that at idle it should be less than a volt and a W.O.T it should be around 5 volts if it gets stuck anywhere in the middle its bad! Also check your idle speed control valve by using a 6 volt battery and connect the positive leads of the jumper wires to...
