Yeah, apologies to everyone for not actually posting what was my conclusion, often a bad habit of mine whenever I get advice for issues with any of my cars. Things get in the way and usually I forget to post what went on, but I have been still been lurking for the past couple years or so. Wall...

I know this is super late, just saw this now lol. Yeah, it was a pain getting in that position, working on cars has made me an honorary Cirque du Soleil member. I got 2 used door harnesses off Ebay, and I'm making a list with all the part numbers needed for the conversion for anybody who...

I am literally doing this conversion right now. I have an RS eclipse, not a spyder but I also thought I didn't have the harness under the dash for the switch. Both of the joystick plastic panels are in pieces, and I never liked the manual mirrors anyways. I tried repairing them with small...

Had a very small pry bar that worked perfectly. Wrapped a rag around it, and pryed upward from the bottom of the circle, came right off. Thanks guys!

Hey guys,I'm replacing the valve cover on my eclipse (420a) and I noticed quite a bit of oil residue around the metal half moon on the driver side rear of the head. It had been RTV'd in place by a shop that did some oil leak repairs, but I am redoing some of their work and would like to reseal...

Hey man, keep up the good work. I have a 420a and did a timing belt job a while ago, and it was pain. I know, working on a car when you need it running ASAP can be very stressful. I'm not very much of an expert but for the motor mount bracket (designed by a prime jerkwad), I kept trying to...

So after reading the FSM again, it seems all I really have to do is take off the 3 bolts holding the camshaft cap, put some anaerobic rtv under the edge of it, torque back to spec, and I should be good?

Yeah, no one ever has a freaking 420a, it's always 4g63, 4g63, 4g63!

Thanks for the replies guys. That makes total sense considering there's no way it could leak after 3 attempts, its just a simple o ring. Is there much complication involved in removing the camshaft end cap? It can just be unbolted, cleaned, and rtv'd? Do I have to remove the magnet on the end of...

Hey guys,I recently got all the major engine gaskets replaced and now the engine is 98% leak free, but I still have one last nagging issue. The stupid camshaft position sensor was leaking a tiny bit of oil, so I replaced the o ring with a new felpro one. Nope, still leaked. Ok, this time I...

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm currently fixing up a few things on my other cars but I'll be getting back around to this one shortly. Maybe I can take the time and start with the head gasket first.

Hello guys,I haven't frequented these forums all that much, but I have gone here for advice on doing my timing belt, fixing my water leaks, and bleeding my brakes.Unfortunately, the car has had a serious oil leak since I bought it. I did some diagnosis and found the head gasket is leaking...

Sorry for the late update. Okay, finally got the pedal to feel good again. Car throws me out of the seat now when I brake. Good idea zotis about tapping the lines, I got a few extra bubbles to come out. I also discovered that I did not adjust the brakes properly. I mistakenly assumed auto...

Okay, I did the two person method as described. I now can get the bleeder bottle to fill up, and I've topped off the master cylinder twice now. On the last bleeding session I got only clear fluid running out (good sign) and the bubbles stopped coming. I took it for a quick run, pedal feels...

1. Rear of car is jacked up and on stands 2. Master cylinder is full 3. I connect the hose of the bleeder I bought to the bleeder nipple...
