the axle seal does look like is in too far, but I dont think it would cause any noise.did you remove the abs ring on the new axle before you installed it? you should be able to knock the ring off of it with a hammer and screw driver
had the same problem with my 96 the final year before the safety only 25 year exemption. the only way to get it to pass as ready was to drive it for an hour and then it would randomly say ready. i had to tell a friendly shop not to turn off the car while doing inspection.for the final year...
it would be unusual that the code would be from the ecu failing. 99.99% of the time the ecu fails I have seen are from the idle air control motor going bad and causing the driver capacitors to fail on the ecu.for the record when mine failed it failed open and my car had zero problems just...
no, oil weight wont solve your problem. zinc additives can slightly alter the dyanamics of wear on metal to metal, but they wont stop your engine from chewing bearingsyou keep saying crank walk is causing this, but you have trashed main bearings. your issues could just as easily be caused by...
I reccomend using www.charm.li to find the error codes in the factory service manualthe fuel pressure solenoid is only active if the ecu sees the 5v power reference isnt being used by the solenoid.if the solenoid is defective the only symptom will be a hot start idle and starting problem...
the ecu for the 2g turbo cars is in the center console behind the radio.it sounds like there is an electrical problem under the hood. perhaps you sprayed too hard on the battery terminals and caused some of the wires to get loose. or your sprayed too much water on the alternator and now it...
a code for the boost control solenoid is only active if the boost control solenoid isn't plugged in or if there is a fault in the solenoid voltage.the factory ecu does not monitor boost levels, it only measures air intake flow from the mass air flow sensorso if the bcs is brand new, then...
nope that is not a factory sunroof. some one cut a hole in the roof and added that.the rs models did come with a factory moon roof as an option, technically a moon roof slides back to be open and a sun roof just tilts open but does not slide
I translated what I think you saidyou will need to pop the hood and look for disconnected hoses or oil leaks. this can not be diagnosed with such little information
yeah that situation doesnt make sense to me. it sounds like he is trying to get a fish on the hook to get money from you, and hes telling you what you want to hear as bait.so no I wouldn't give a random person $1000 to build something you have never even seen yet
it dont really consider them much of an upgrade to be honest, but the fp piece is a higher quality metal that wont crack like the factory unit willso at the very least I consider the fp manifold a proper wear item replacement that is a higher quality that will lasta ported stock unit will...
honestly some one with that much mechanical skill shouldnt need a grand to get going unless he has a bad money habit. i wouldnt even consider giving him money until he finished the build
if you really want to be lazy the fuse for the door locks is under the dash above the foot rest pedal. pull the fuse now so you can drive it normally till you pull the door panel and fix it
if you are the original poster of this thread it looks like you forgot to put a gasket under the throttle body connection to the intercooler pipe. the factory gasket was a stamped steel and I should be able to see it in your pictures but its not thereperform a boost leak test
you didnt align the sensor on the back of the lock cylinder correctly.the sensor tells the body module if the key is being twisted in the door. if the sensor isn't lined up correctly it will send the signal out to lock the doorsyou can unplug the sensor further into the door behind the...
youre not suppose to have fuel spraying in the cylinder while you are doing a compression test.you should have all the plugs out and all of the fuel injectors unplugged. you should be holding the gas pedal down while cranking over the vehicle. you want to crank the car for ten to fifteen...
the car should only be running 13 psi at mostthe stock ecu can only handle 13psi of boost. it doesnt matter what size fuel pump you have or injectors, the stock ecu can only calibrate to 13psitake a picture of your engine bay.do you know what a wastegate is? do you know where the waste...
yeah they are greddy gauges and the boxes are the brains of themI cant give you a single pinout explanation, but the wires go from the gauge to the box, and then from the box to the sensor. the box sends power to the gauge and sensor. you will need to google then to find the greddy gauge...
The grenade pin hole in the hydraulic tensioner shaft is slightly higher than the grenade pin hole in the body when set per the factory service manual.The absolutely vital part is rotating the engine several times, then waiting, to verify the depth has not changedI only mention the FSM depth...
the pin isnt the measuring stick for setting proper tensioner arm gap. you should not be estimating tensioner arm gap by your ability to slide the pin in and out of the hydraulic tensioner. youre measuring the gap of the tensioner arm to the body of the tensioner then rotating 3 revolutions...
hahaha ok I found a picture of the shit show I found in my white gst. It was an ebay 340 pump that was too short that the previous owner was trying to make work. it had a long skinny neck and just didn't work. in the cup part at the top there were 3 o-rings
I cant find pictures of the wrong way to do it, basically the end of the pump that slides into the cup on the hanger. you would use a section of rubber hose between the o-rings to simulate the stock spacer.im not sure if it was the hose piece would get dried out over time, or something else...
correct. I had 2 cars with aftermarket pumps that had problems with hot fuel pressure readings.in both of them the original "mod" of using a piece of hose failed because the pump would get hot and the rubber hose would get soft when hot and leak fuel pressure back in the tank.
(the mod was...
back in the old days the 420a motors in the neon and pt cruiser etc use to suffer from crank sensor failure due to a bad connection at the pigtail. typically and oil leak from the valve cover gasket would find its way into the crank sensor pigtail. I believe at one point there was a technical...
there is a sticky for the upgrade path on a dsmif you want to hit a horse power number you should expect to be the "dsm guy" and know how to perform a boost leak test in under 10 minutes. if you dont want to commit your brain power and wrench power to be the guy, you should expect to be...
after doing a cooling system pressure test i highly reccomend buying a coolant funnel cap kit to burp the system of air.if the car is running hot you should be able to turn the heater to hot and blast some seriously hot air out of the heater that will prevent the car from overheating. if...
rpm drop is not necessarily a sign of crank walk. the engine still has a slight load on it when in neutral, you cant just spin the input shaft like a skateboard wheel when its in neutral. cold idle on these cars isnt the best test for a solid idleid suggest cutting open the oil filter first...
I've never heard of an ecu needing to be programmed for any of our cars. there is no anti theft system, the ecu may be coded to a different vin number in its memory, but as far as the ecu knows its still plugged into the vehicle with that vin number. there is no coded key or chip in the key...
you should hook the boost line to the waste gate directly. that will allow it to run minimum boostwhat kind of turbo is it, do you have an actual boost gauge
if would 100% advise not to use that rubber pan gasket. you are not going to get even torque measurements and you will forsure dimple the pan.the steel stamped pan isnt designed to apply pressure evenly across the pans surface, when you go to torque it all the pressure will be around the...
I have the kenwood dmx7706 and its ok for a media unit. my main complaints are the price tag ($300?) and the menu setup for the FM radio isnt the best. the buttons are on the wrong side of the radio and the interface feels like a cheap unit. my main argument against the kenwood is that for...
your post is hard to read, from what it sounds like you are asking what you need to put a small 16g turbo on the car?technically you dont need anything. the factory ecu will not let you run more than 13-14psi on the stock mass air flow sensor and stock ecu.im running a small 16g on...
they should have talked more crap about it. I want to feel like mechanical jesus when I daily drive minemy opinion: trip was uneventful and not particularly memorable. should have pit maneuvered the rx8 at low speed in the snow to even the bill for the contest. tow extraction would have...
no the ecu sends the 5v reference and if it senses and open circuit it throws a code. im not familiar with the resistance of that sensor to say if thats the corrrect resistancethere could be a problem with the ecu or with the wiringmay want to remove the ecu and inspect the internals for...
my car would burn grey smoke, it looks white but it was actually oilburning coolant would smell like burnt candy. its really strong odor. if there is no odor it is most likely oilthe valve stem seals are a likely failure point. basically they will leak oil from the cylinder head into the...
connector c52 pin 11 for power to the color change switch.I believe the color change switch is bad but you need to verify first that it is getting voltage and should be working
I have had 2 or 3 cars with an ebay 16g turbo, they all performed fine. I wouldn't call them an upgrade in power but they performed fine at stock boost levelsmy primary issue is with the ebay install kits from cx racing. the included coolant lines have the wrong length banjo bolt and can...
on my 98-99 2g cars the ignition switch would partially fail, the connections internally wouldnt send a strong power signal to the solenoid.my issue would be the car was all or nothing for the starter, it would start just fine or not start at all.so there are a few ways to validate...
yeah I did the same. there is a write up on here on how to get the horn to work. I also used the kyostar adapter but had to use a washer underneath tge mounting bolt to fully bolt the adapter on all the way. there was a tiny bit of wiggle that bugged me.also without a quick release...
neither of them talk crap about the platform or reliability as much as they could, these are 30 year old platforms that were pretty homogulated to begin within fact if anything they havent had a clarkson moment on the trip where they actually review or talk about the car. its more just about...
