I just got the head back on my car after doing a valve job to it. I am getting really bad vacuum and can't find the leak. Does base timing advance affect the vacuum?

OK so this bad boy still isn't running. I've looked into the flywheels and there are different sizes based on AWD/FWD and obviously 1G/2G because of 6/7 bolt. Now my next question is do the 1G AWD and the 1G FWD have different starter models? I went to the parts store today and they tried to...

I tried to jump it today there was no change it still just spins free from the fly wheel.

Is there any way to check if it is the wrong part? I held the two next to each other and looked to see if one was different. I specifically looked at the domed part where the gear sits in. They appeared to be the same size. Does the FWD have anything obviously different in appearance?I...

Ok so I've been working on this problem for about a week and I haven't been able to work out all of the problems yet. I replaced my starter motor the bendex spring in it had gone bad and wasn't engaging the flywheel. I got the new one tested and installed it. The new one is doing the same...

I run the Evo 16g. It's a great choice. Quick spool times because it's not a monster but it's big enough to run 20 PSI on pump if you get the supporting mods.

I got mine out fine I just had to take it out with out the mounting bracket attached to it. Took a couple minutes to angle it right and squeeze it out.

He was saying your piston rings aren't holding the pressure any more, nothing about the PCV valve. The PCV is a cheap fix you can try it.Check this site out and do a real compression test when you've taken the car for a 10 minute drive. http://www.dsmgrrrl.com/FAQs/compression.htmThe...

You can do a boost leak test too. If you get air coming out of the valve cover or the dipstick then you have blowby from the rings or cracked pistons too but I've never heard of that. Do the leak test from the intake pipe not the turbo inlet that will eliminate the turbo bearings as a leak.

Thanks just what I was looking for. I bought a micheline type it had 3 different adapters and fit perfectly although a bit bulky and ugly it will do the job.

Ya I did notice I was trying to epoxy the thing back together for a temporary solution. I will look into those replacement blade kits after work thanks.

First snow of the year and I got ice all over my wipers. Slapped them on the windshield and snapped the plastic clip part that holds the blade on the arm. I've tried calling parts stores around me like NAPA and CAP neither one lists a replacement. I'd rather avoid the junk yards since they...

You can put together a set of -6 AN lines from Summit Racing for $80 even with the expensive metric adapters. If you buy some autozone cooler you'd probably save $10 from what I paid.

If you want to raise your revs I would recommend some stiffer springs. Don't bother replacing the valves yourself. For starters you need a machine shop to redeck the thing and hand lapping the valves is never going to get those seats as smooth as they should be. I know I've tried. If you...

For compression testing your not worried about spark it's fuel. To stop the fuel just disconnect the MPI fuse on the + battery terminal. It's the blue relay. If you can't figure it out just unplug the fuel injectors.
