just a question, but did you possibly stomp on the throttle after slamming your brakes? i know with my road rage thats usually whats happens, if so i would check the turbo

ankeny do i know you?

i have a tank for 20 bucks i replaced it because at the time i couldnt get the screws that hold the pump in loose and a return line on the back of the tank will use a little jb weld but nothing major, your not going to get all that stuff out without spending some money and or opening the tank...

when will it be over i dont get off till 6

ok guys my buddy just bought a 1g 4g63 nt and the guy said it runs fine till warmed up and loses power but while driving it home we found that the car wont go past 300 rpm it runs fine and it will still pick up speed as far as we can take it as long as we shift before 3000 rpm any ideas on what...

could be your valve guides leaking, if it is they are letting oil drip into the cylinders over night then burning it out in the morning, but i doubt it if your having cooling issues, try the garden hose trick and see what happens

1. 1993 dodge shadow, bought for 26 dollars jumped a five foot loading dock at 30 mph cracked the body and inside fender well sold for 300 2. 1990 civic si hatch, bought for 800 got tboned traded for 3. 1990 integra, got impounded 4. bought 1991 prelude si b21 put 2000 into motor first day...

wow i guess i better reconnect py pcv hose back up to my intake i have it just ran down on top of the tranny then the intake blocked off since all it really does is dump oil into your intake

looks like thats what im going to do, i have a guy thats going to sell me a direct fit replacement for 60 and im going to hollow that one out

thats right my state has no emissions laws so there will not be anything but pipe going back in, the only problem with this is the car gets very loud, my prelude was straight open pipe from header straight back to blow through megan muffler and good god, my buddies could here me coming from two...

update: so i didnt get a chance to pull the ecu (girlfriends bday) but i have not smelled the burning egg smell again, but exhaust still sounds weird to me, has a buzzing/hissing sound and it just smells weird, almost smells like an old carb truck, so my plan of action is to go ahead with a cat...

honestly it could be any of these it still has the cat but the exhaust is broke next to the fuel tank, clutch feels fine but i just bought the car the beginning of june so who knows, and i have never checked the ecu but i have been meaning to check it to see if its an eprom, i guess this gives...

ok my plan of action when i get off work is to ang on my cat in the parking garage, smell the ecu, drive home smell ecu again, and order wichever needs replaced, i will update first thing in the morning thanks guys

battery is brand new literally only 1 month old so is the alternator

ok its below the cd player right? and is it three bolts that hold it in or just 2, also does 60 sound reseanable for an ecu? got a guy locally who told me a min ago that it might be my caps and he would sell me one for 60

ok i have searched this but nothing sounds like my problem close but no cigar, when i left work for lunch like and hour ago in the parking garage i heard this metal virating sound, i know my exhaust is loose so i didnt think any thing of it, get almost to my house and im at a stop light and i...

i used to have one of those (came with the car) and i had nothing but problems with it

haha ok so yesturday just got home and my girlfriend was talking blah blah wasnt paying attention well right when i opened my door she pulled my phone holder off my visor wich distracted me from pulling my keys out and its just a habit to reach over and lock the door as im getting out, when i...

stick your head under there and look and see if there is a sensor on the back of the hub, or the axel will have a bunch of little blocks and a straight line all the way around the end that goes into the hub, but the best way to tell is get down there and look for the sensor, if its there you got...

ya that method works too, but its kinda hard to guide hangers through the door jams in our cars because of how they seat, like the where the roof meets the door its rolled and it creates like a weird (0 curve you haft to guide through

i tried the coat hanger but that didnt work, tried a rod but but that didnt work, couldnt get the angle right to push the lock tab, and this method seriously took 3 mins to get it unlocked and 5 to reinstall the bar, and it didnt break anything, or scratch anything, where as a coat hanger can...

haha how would that work :hmm:, and ya didnt mean it to be how to break into our cars, 2g is different, and you would haft to own a dsm usually to know about that strip that changes all those funny colors i just meant it as a helpfull hint since everyone will eventually lock there keys in there...

haha ok so yesturday just got home and my girlfriend was talking blah blah wasnt paying attention well right when i opened my door she pulled my phone holder off my visor wich distracted me from pulling my keys out and its just a habit to reach over and lock the door as im getting out, when i...

it could be you have the wrong axle i just replaced axles in a maxima with lsd and one wheel wasnt spinning turned out the passenger axle was barely too short, but it looked identical, check the bearing and if thats not the case replace the axle.

possible spark plug issue

get slotted rotors, obviously no one knows why they make slotted and drilled rotors, when you apply the brakes no matter where you are, your brakes produce a high heat gas so they make slotted and drilled rotors so when you apply the brakes that gas has somewhere to go and to be dispersed away...

get rid of that bleeder NOW, i just had the same problem on my stock set up i was running 20 psi at wot so i had to baby the car for 2 weaks untill i got a ball and spring mbc, get rid of that bleeder that is whats causing most of your problems, search on this site for a mbc that will work for...

i was having the same problem everywhere i looked was for an awd, but i found a good cheaper answer if you want to make a trip to des moines, if you want to buy the muffler and cat/pipe there is a shop here in des moines called wrenches automotive, they specialize in honda/acura and imports the...

agreed if it sat for 4 days without any driving i would charge the battery to start

for shits and giggles throw a new battery in it or hook it up to a charger and see what happens then, it could be your alternator is draining everything

they do go bad over time, but i have also seen that if there is any other problem those will read bad

how much psi are you running? because it sounds to me like you are over boosting hitting fuel cut and the car is bucking because your timing is not exact so when under boost its making a sound of a backfire then bucks then after letting off it drivers fine, my car did the exact same thing when i...

you guys ever do anything near Des Moines? the dsm scene out here is dead, all hondas, there are a few nice dsms here and there but very minimal.

they can handle it no problem i ran just a single wire, not that big at all with no fuses or anything and i never had a problem

check the alternator

a switch is perfectly fine, on one of my old cars i had a fuel relay problem so i ran a wire from my battery to a toggle on the dash then back to the pump and whenever my relay was acting up and she didnt want to start i would flip the switch and overide the relay and she would fire right up...

very true very true

and once you have the itch you cant get rid of it just remember its not herpies if its everywhere:thumb:

i very bad itch indeed:D like crabs after that one night you cant remember :cool:

haha i think what we are all trying to say is welcome to the neighborhood.once your feel that turbo pull for the first time you will have the itch.once you find your self broke and in debt kicking yourself for buying that last performance part, you have the fever

i think he meant you haft to pull the motor on the nissan to pull the plugs:hmm:

how is breaking up and removing those deposits from your engine not going to help? sure its not going to make it faster and your probably not going to feel anything from it, but wont your oil flow more freely through the engine? resulting in a much quicker cooling rate? allowing your crank (if...

mine is not leaking i know this for a fact, i just installed my boost gauge and it was one dry under there and i check all my fluids once a week when i fill my ps (it is still leaking) and my fluid is fine

buy the car and find out for yourself, dont worry about insurance, otherwise you will never e happy with any car that you "want" to drive. just remember dont give up and like previously stated just ask for help take it from me this site does wonders, i have owned my 90 gst for a little over a...

test the alternator and the starter, seriously i know it sounds dumb but when my alternator went out my battery was reading 7 volts off the turbo timer and it dropped to 4 while cranking and the same thing it drove home fine then started acting up a lil bit i turned the car off and a lil bit...

but like i stated before if you read the instructions you will be fine and the instructions say to divide the can into the fuel/oil/comustion chamber. so to get the full affect of using the sea foam yes it would be benefitial to put it in your oil.:thumb:

i have not read all the post either but can you honestly say that the sole reason for your car leaking oil was because you used sea foam? your car either had the leaks and you didnt know about it, or it was just not noticable yet, or you had a prolem that hadnt showed its big ugly face yet and...

if i am right they are box fuses and they can be hard to find, usually car quest has them but i would check to make sure your terminal bolt is tight, and follow the positive battery cable and make sure it is all good, and take apart that fuse block i was having a no start problem and i took that...

im having this problem in my 1g it has gotten better over the last few weeks but still every now and then a haft to practically stand on the shifter to get it to go into gear and when it does it goes from not budging to felling like somebody moved the wall i was pressing against and then it...
