  1. Replaced fuel pump but still have to hit it to start

    If the tape you peeled off was covering that exposed wiring, I doubt that was your problem. Someone probably cut off the insulation to test for voltage while leaving everything connected, not the most desirable method. The terminal in the connector on the other hand looks burnt or corroded...
  2. Battery light on

    If your battery light is still on after your battery and alternator test good, then swap out the ECU. The regulator and voltage monitoring is in the ECU for the 420A cars.
  3. bov sounds quiet

    When I upgraded from a T25 to a 14b I noticed the same thing. When I was running the T25 with BCS restrictor out, I was boosting between 12-15psi, though it would fall off to around 10psi above 5500 rpm. When I put on the 14b my max boost went down to 9-10psi and it definitely was quieter...
  4. 97 eclipse rs hesitates and stalls/stop random

    If the O2 sensor is dead, you will definitely want to replace it. It will run like crap until you do. Check for vacuum leaks. If you havent already, invest in a good set of plugs and wires, and if you did, recheck the gap on your plugs and make sure the insulation on your wires is good and...
  5. What side markers would look better

    Works great on my car and a great improvement on other drivers being able to clearly see your intent to turn.
  6. What side markers would look better

    Go with the clear markers and amber bulbs with the chrome coating so you dont get the egg-yolk effect. Take it a step further and get the kit (1 per side) from Watson's Streetworks that allows you to use your single filament bulb as a dual filament bulb so it will function as a marker and turn...
  7. Where can i get a turn signal bulb socket?

    If you go to a junkyard, the socket for rear turn signals is the same, it doesnt have to come from the front corners.
  8. GS-T GSX Airbag

    95-99 Eclipse and 95-98 Talon interchangable all models, RS/GS/GST/GSX. Just match color. If the cover itself isn't messed up, just lifted at the edges, you can fix it by removing the cover, then cleaning off all residue and regluing with Gorilla glue and clamps. Search the forum for how to...
  9. Seatbelt not retracting

    Also, if you are going to retension the retractor spool as I posted earlier, now is a good time to grab black seatbelts from a 3G elclipse (more common) and transfer the belt to your spool. Much cheaper than finding black 2G seatbelts, that you will probably have to retension anyway!
  10. Clunk noise at takoff

    ^It does sound like an e-brake problem. Pull your rear wheels and rotors and check that the parking brakes shoes don't have a seperated lining or the shoe retaining springs are still properly fastened.
  11. Car shakes in fifth gear

    Visually inspect the bushings, do they appear torn, dry-rotted, pieces of rubber hanging out, no rubber at all? See if it looks like the bolt that goes through the bushing looks centered in the bushing or is pushed to one side. Take a big pry bar and see if you get movement. A fail on any of...
  12. lowering for dummies

    If you are still running OEM suspension bushings when you change ride height, make sure that you loosen all the suspension bolts then retightening them at the new ride height. This will release the bind on the bushings and reset to neutral position at your new static ride height. This is not...
  13. Upgrade path questions please help

    I purchased my EVO MAF adapter from here. Or use this post #7 to make your own.
  14. Upgrade path questions please help

    If you are going to increase the boost, get your supporting upgrades in place first. Also, find out for sure whether you have a 14b or 16g, and if 16g, which variant. This matters in terms of fuel flow required to support your targeted boost. A 2g EPROM ECU will plug in, but unless the firing...
  15. Car shakes in fifth gear

    Sounds more and more like bushings, worn or destroyed and/or in bind from lowering without loosening/retightening bushing bolts at static ride height. I'm guessing both with some bad ballpoint thrown in for that little extra bit of fun caused by abrupt changes in camber over bumps and in...
