    2G 95 FWD auto control cable question

    Since the cables are discontinued you may have to measure the thread and the length of the control end to find a suitable replacement. Metric female rod end heim fitting.Performance Partout has a used cable on eBay. Try contacting then or post in the classifieds here.

    1g auto trans harness

    You have to do some modifications to work around the park/neutral ignition disable, the reverse switch, and Clutch Safety Switch. I'll let you search here for the specifics.

    2g 5v signal and sensor ground showing 12v

    It's getting late and I'm still groggy from a 14 hour banzai run from Boulder to Chicago yesterday but I can't figure out what you are describing? Without the ECU plugged in you shouldn't have anything on the the Sensor Power wires since the ECU sources that. Also with the ECU disconnected the...

    Spyder Swapped out PTU module connector from car harness side

    Nor does it matter except to those of us with OCD. Since both channels of the PTU do the same thing all that matters is that the right ECU output gets to the right coil.I will point out that if you look at the full diagram you'll see that the coil for cylinders 1 & 4 is connected to the OC1...

    Spyder Swapped out PTU module connector from car harness side

    That picture is upsidedown. And it sounds like you fried it.When you look at the Factory diagrams you need to note where the latch/index and remember that what it's showing you is as if you're looking at the connector with the wires coming out of it, not looking at the connector with the...

    2G Weird noise when starting

    420A Limp Mode?

    It's customary to provide additional information to an existing thread rather than repost the exact same in a new thread if you're not getting responses. There are two different types of "Limp Mode" with these cars. The first is an ECU/PCM fault mode when it detects an issue with one more more...

    Resolved 1G TCU capacitor sizing?

    Yep, that's the critical area that far too often kills the TCU. The green transistor there is part of the voltage regulator and white hybrid IC on the other side of the cap has the logic to drive it.The yellow sleeved capacitors don't usually leak and the two bright orange caps are tantalum...

    Resolved 1G TCU capacitor sizing?

    You'll be fine regardless. The most important change is the new ones don't leak like the originals. Sadly yours has and the solder around it has become porous. Hopefully the traces haven't failed and the voltage regulator with them. TCUs have this nasty habit of dumping 12v on the 5v rail when...

    Comparison: 1995-99 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS & GS

    That's a good question for another Tech Article. I'm not sure if the comparison makes more sense between the USDM NA models or how they are different between the USDM Turbo models and the European NA cars?

    1G Can’t connect to DSMLink

    I got that, but what wasn't clear is if the ECU turns on (CEL Light, Boost Gauge moves) when you first turn the key to the ON/RUN position or until you turn it to START (all the way).What happens if you get DSMLink to connect but don't actually start the car by stopping it from cranking...

    Spyder Swapped out PTU module connector from car harness side

    From here I couldn't guess. I suggest you continue with your multimeter since it looks like you have many splices in your wiring in that area.There are three things I was hoping to do with my post. One was to clarify which pin was pin 1 on the PTU connector since it's often confused. Second...

    ECMlink My car wont start

    Two different MAP sensors? Did it work this way before? I don't see KeyStart turned on why you're cranking and the battery voltage falls to 9.6V. Does it need a good charge? Not getting KeyStart usually implies a wiring issue. Is this a 2.1L engine? Why have you changed your Direct Access Load...

    That clip is a great idea but I always found those A pillar gauge pods blocked my view so I went the vent route.

    Do you have a better picture of where you grafted the PTU to the car harness. I can't read all the wire colors and it looks like you have more Black/White wires than you should.

    1G ID 1000's lower seals\adapters

    I suspect that depends on exactly which version of the Injector Dynamics 1000cc injectors you get. They make them for a variety of cars and one of the differences is the how the Bosch injector is mated to the head or intake.

    ECMlink No Start. Help verify my settings are good to start, car sat for 2 years

    Here's the deal, you can run 37psi or 43psi if you want as long as you scale the injector global correctly. A 1G ECU expects 450cc (measured at 43.5psi) being run as ~37psi. That's an effective flow rate of about 411cc. If you change the size (both sets of injectors sized at 43.5psi/3bar) but...

    I didn't see any pictures in your profile with the intake on ...All I see in a quick look is that the fuel global is set of 1027cc injectors and you say they are 950cc. In the log, the airflow #s are hard to believe as are the injector pulse widths and low RPMs for cranking. I'm only running...

    That looks like the Boost Control Solenoid (Waste Gate Control Solenoid) and are you sure you didn't disconnect the one line from the MAF tube when you removed it to dig around there?

    2G 1996 Eclipse GST ATX Idle problem

    Many 2Gs for various reasons have the accessory belt squeal from it slipping on startup and sometimes when turning. Sometimes it's due to belt tightness, others the cleanliness of the pulleys and belt, yet others from misalignment of the pulleys. 1Gs don't seem to have this as much.Your idle...
