Finally got my car back on the road, only to find out that I had an electrical draw big enough to kill the battery. Searching led me to how to track it down, but I'm at a loss.With everything connected, I've got a 211mA draw on the battery. Narrowing it down to 4 fuses, all of which are in the...

Picked up a used HX35 that was in "good condition" other than a supposed oil seal leak.My question is before I spend the time rebuilding it, is this compressor wheel re-usable? It has some damage to the front of the wheel. Opinions?

I know, this game is dumb. But I've searched for the throttle body at least. The other object, well. I don't know what to call it to search for it.Item #1. Throttle Body. I thought it was a 1g TB, but every 1g TB i've seen on this site has multiple vacuum lines coming off of it. Any idea...

I'm actually surprised I couldn't find anything of the sort on this site.What has everyone been replacing their rubber insulators in the 2g radiator brackets with? Mine are old/torn and in generally poor shape. I have no mitsubishi dealer around here, but suppose I could go through a vendor...

I've been struggling for a day or two to get this misfire under control after dropping in my new built motor. But that's now what this is dealing with.I had been doing a boost leak test to try and sort out any leaks to fix my previous problem. It had been idling around 3000RPMS, and...

Alright. I'm in the middle of a 6bolt build.Brad new crank, rods, and pistons are all in.I was trying to set timing, but when I line the crank sprocket timing mark up with the 6bolt front cover, the Piston is about a 1/2" from the deck surface of the block (piston already hit TDC, and is...

Strange problem. Car died on me 2 days ago.Timing is good. Fuel is good. When it comes to spark, I get spark on cylinder #3 and #4, but not on #1 and #2.So I'm missing spark from half of a coil, on both coils. I am going to pull them and test the resistance per the shop manual...

According to http://www.vfaq.com/mods/wiring-gen2wir.html . The factory alarm / disarm wires are in the driver side kick panel. When one of these wires goes to ground it should arm / disarm the alarm according to which wire is grounded..Anyone have any specifics on these 2 wires.. I have...

Okie. Little background. Just rebuilt my 7bolt (no comments on why i rebuilt a 7bolt please!) Anyway, car ran great, minus a headgasket issue...Tore the head back off. ARP head studs, and a new gasket later. Compression is 181 181 177 178.Wonderful! But my coolant dissapears for some...

Alright. A little background. Just finished building/installing my new motor in my car. I'm getting all excited and ready to start it up... crank, crank, crank... Won't catch.Getting CEL P0355, which is Crankshaft Position Sensor Circuit. It's a brand new crankshaft position sensor. What am...

For the life of me, I can't get these damn side rails to install into the bore... I'm using a ring compressor. I can install it upside down and get the compression rings to slide into the bore fine, but the stupid side rails keep slipping between the block and the ring compressor. Anyone have...

Main bearing oil clearance is..?My haynes specifies: .0008 to .0016 inches with a max of .004.I can't find my shop manual cd at the moment. :cry:but here. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=145841&page=2&pp=25&highlight=bearing+clearanceHe said the clearance was...

I asked my machinist and he said it didn't really matter b/c of having an iron block. But I wanted to ask on here anyway. Should I buy brass or steel core plugs.?I'm doing a full rebuild, and ready to put it all back together. Just need to buy some core plugs (Welch plugs if defiant reads...

Yes... So last saturday night on the way to work, my hood latch some how separated from the body of the car, letting my hood (along with the hood latch) smash into my windshield.. Wow, it scared the sh*t out of me... I hit the brakes (a little too forcefully) and started to lose control. I knew...

Would it be possible for someone with 97-99 style headlights to check on the front of their headlights for clear writing (kind of embossed) on the lens of it near the bottom.) What it says exactly would be helpful. Digging into the front of my car more, and more, I really do believe my car was...

It's sad. I can rebuild an engine, yet I know nothing (well almost nothing about offsets and tire sizes.)Alright, I'm looking to buy a set of Rota's for my car. Haven't quite decided which ones, but I've narrowed it down to three.17" x 7.5" (5 x 114.3 lug pattern) +45mm offset...

I was on my way to class this morning, out of nowhere, a thumping / clunking sound developed from the driver side front wheel / axle area. At first I thought maybe I picked up a nail or screw or something. I stop at the nearest gas station and inspect my tire, and it's fine...Now, it's...

Little background quick. Just got done with a bottom end rebuild due to *issues. Now, 500 miles later, everything was peachy, doing my oil change. Replaced the oil gasket also.. Start her up.. runs beautiful.. I'm letting it idle for a few mins to heat up to operating temp, and make sure...

Well, I've just recently gotten over my crankwalked engine. Here are some pictures of the thrust bearings removed from the engine.The same 7bolt motor is in. The gaskets on the block have been replaced along with the rod bearings and main bearings. A Concept Racing Crank alignment kit...

Can you buy the thrust bearing by itself, or do you have to purchase a main bearing set to get the thrust bearing.?If yes, where can you purchase just the thrust bearing at.??

Alright guys... My seven bolt walked.. Actually it ran... about an 1/8 of an inch in play.. enough to make my crank pulley hit the frame.. bad day for the 7 bolt.. Did it with almost no warning too.So here is my problem / resolution, and I need your input..Originally, I was going to swap...

Where are you supposed to measure crankshaft endplay at.???Also.. the crank shouldn't move back and forth between the clutch and belt side of the engine should it.?[edit] this is sick guys.. I push the clutch in and the crank moves so far out, that the crank pulley hits my frame.. It...

I just picked up a 6 bolt engine, and I want to do a overhaul on it, gaskets and everything.. I saw a complete gasket kit a few days ago, and for the life of me, I can't remember where i saw it, nor can I find it anymore. Can anyone point me in the right direction.?

Will a 2g transmission bolt up to a 1g 6 bolt block.?

Alright.. So last night, i start getting these wierd sounds that kind of sounded like chattering, metal hitting metal.. So i start to panic, because it only does it when i push the clutch pedal in.. As soon as i start to let the pedal out, the sound stops.. (as soon as it starts to engage the...

Alright. So your looking at the valve cover while your standing in front of the car. In the bottom right corner of the center piece (where the plugwires are) there is a little metal elbow with plastic on it bolted onto the valve cover. What exactly is this.? I just figured i would find out for...

Alright. My check engine light came on today, so i went to autozone to get it pulled. I can't remember the exact code number, but the error was "MAF ground fault." So i was told it's either a bad maf, or a bad ground wire in the maf harness. Great I'm thinking, all i have to do is borrow...

Where does your stock temperature (coolant) gauge usually sit on the bezel.? Does it fluctuate at all (how high.?) Ex. Sits at just under 1/2 way, but goes up ???

Alright.. About a week ago, my car decides it is goign to start overheating.(not bad, but enough to make me panic) so, my water pump decided it's goign to start leaking.. No big deal. Changed the water pump, timing belt (and all the related accessories). Flushed the radiator just to make sure...

Okay. About 2 weeks ago i posted about having extremely rough idle.. It started with stalling, so i adjusted the BISS to keep an idle. Now it idles at about 800RPM's.. But the car shakes, and the exhaust makes a sputtering sound.. Now, at idle, i can smell gas, and smelling the exhaust it...

Alright.. I've owned my 97 GST for almost 3 months now. (completely stock minus balance shaft) The car hasn't given me a single problem up until now.. The other night i was cruising the strip with a friend, and we come to a stop.. Car starts to struggle to keep an idle.. I turn the ac compressor...

It says genuine Mitsu grease or equivalent.. What kinda grease do you guys use on it... Still fighting with the F*cking rear motor mount, but.... When i do get it out to put the new clutch in, it says to grease the throwout bearing.. Any input.?

Hi. I just changed the clutch on my car, got the transmission back on, and am trying to reinstall the axles.. Should i hear a distinct "click" sound or such, or is it going to just slide back into place.? The reason being is because i pushed them in as hard as i could, but i could also pull...

http://www.ramchargers.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/CategoryDisplay?cgrfnbr=29841&cgmenbr=541&cat1=29839&cat2=29840Anyone on here use it.? Any goods / bads about it.? I can't post on DSMtalk because for whatever reason, i can't register..

Just got my car and i have a question.I'm assuming that the clutch fluid is going to be brake fluid like on other cars.? Or is there a special kind of fluid to use for dsm's.. Because, the fluid has a bluish tint to it, and i have been having some problems with my clutch.. Just wondering if...

Still waiting on my shop manual to get here.. Where is a good place to jack up the front of the car from? I had assumed the front cross member was a decent place on "most" cars, but when i try.. It jacks up crooked.. wtf.? Any input.Thanks in advance. Nemesis

I just bought a 97 Eclipse Spyder GST, and I love it. It's about that time to change the timing belt, and the dealer wants 400+ dollars to change it.. Yikes. I'm 18 and i have apartement rent, car payment, and outrageous insurance on this car.. I don't have 400+ dollars to fork over to the...

Alright.. I just purchased a 97 GST Spyder. Question is... I have searched and searched and searched. but i can't find anything..Are body sizing (wheel spacing, overall length, body width) all the same between spyder and hatchback models. or are they different..hehe. I'm checking...

Everyone says venting to the atmosphere causes rough running. But couldn't you just move the MAF to piping after the BOV to keep the MAF from reading the vented air. or am i being ignorant, and DSM's don't just MAF's.?Also, with crankwalk, if a car is suffering from it, couldn't you get a...

Hi there. this is my attempt to get into the DSM world. Heh, i used to drive a celica, but an unfortunate accident has me looking for something with some capability of power, so here I am, looking for a 95-99 Eclipse GST or GSX.The one thing that I fear is crankwalk. I know what it is, and...
