  1. liscense plate light

    If the plastic is burnt around it, there is probably a short in the circuit.
  2. reverse lights fuse?

    I answered your license plate light post and both reverse and license plate lights go to that same plugin.
  3. car wont start

    If it touched then the first thing to do is check all your fuses.
  4. liscense plate light

    It should be on the same citcuit as all your other lights. If I remember right there is a plug-in from those to the main harness behind the bumper support. There might be corrosion on the pins or just be unpluged all together
  5. eprom in a 90 gsx 5 speed question......

    If your computer isn't eprom it will need to be changed and if it is then you will need to get it socketed and then you can either get a new chip programmed to your setup or go with dsmlink and tune at will. As far as the maf you can do what you want both work well.
  6. Famous moovie quotes

    Surely you can't be seriousI am serious...and don't call me shirleyAirplane!
  7. Monroe sensatrac

    We call those sensa-craps at my shop. Nothing but bad luck with those. Maybe they have gotten better but to each his own I guess. Good luck
  8. ball joint install, gap between snap ring and control arm?

    It will be fine, if the ball joint does happen to slid down to the snap ring, that thing isn't going anywhere. Alot of moog balljoints are like that.
  9. Turbo Rebuild Question

    Sounds like the bearings are junk. If the shaft isn't worn out, a rebuild kit will probably fix it.
  10. battery dies after car turns off

    I think around 20 millieamps is normal, anything over that something is drawing power. And like coryd21 said, just start pulling fuses until it drops. Good luck
  11. motor wont crank over

    are any of your timing pullies froze up?
  12. fuel injector question

    Ok, maybe I just wont use them then. Thanks for the help
  13. fuel injector question

    It is now
  14. fuel injector question

    Yeah I have a safc but will the high resistance injectors work even though the stock injectors are low resistance
  15. fuel injector question

    This may seem like a stupid question but can I run denso 545cc injectors? They are 13.7ohms and the stock injectors are low ohm injectors (not sure of the exact number). Will that be to high of resistance for my 90 GSX?
  16. in over my head...tuning issues

    just got my car back together and the maft, safc2 hooked up and set to a starting point and i have a few problems. i let the car warm up to o/t and it idles around 1200 rpm but on my safc2 it says like 600-700 rpm and every once and awhile it will idle down and a/f ratio will just to 18:1+. so...
  17. alternator good but doesnt charge battery

    make sure the alt. fuse is good still. it is possible you have something drawing your battery down when its not running. if the fuse is good, take a test light, disconnect the positive battery cable and put the test light from the battery positive to the positive cable. if it lights up you have...
  18. Piston rings

    The first ring is the smaller one with the "shinny" edge, the all black thicker one goes in the second groove. The bevelled edge goes up and I think you get how the oil ring go on. Hope this helps.
  19. Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    I would say if your manifold is getting red hot then your exhaust plugged up some where, that would heat up your head and what is bolted to the head, the t-stat houseing. That would cause the coolant to get very hot and it can't get rid of the heat fast enogh. So check your exhaust to see if it...
  20. SHAVED REAR WIPER WITH spoiler

    i'm in the process of getting rid of the rear wiper as well. i don't have to worry about snow though cause i only drive my mitsu in the non winter seasons. looks very good though, hopefully mine turns out that good!
  21. N/T block help/question

    so just to be safe i will switch out the 95 pistons with evo 9 pistons. i was going back and forth between the two anyways. now another question to throw at you guys, are the non turbo and turbo rods the same material? i know they are the same length and everything but i heard from someone that...
  22. N/T block help/question

    i have read a few things and i can't really find what i'm looking for or a straight answer. i have a perfectly good non turbo block sitting in my shop and i am planning a build and i need to know if i can use it without installing oil squirters. i am shooting for 350-400 hp and i will be using...
  23. just finished headgasket, now wont run

    ok i feel really stupid, i made i plate, put it on and now it runs. the idle is very high but it stays running. but now i noticed it is leaking coolant from the back side on the motor right above were the A/C bracket would go so i have to rip the timing cover back off to see where it is coming...
  24. just finished headgasket, now wont run

    umm no not my first timing belt job, ive been fixing car almost every day for the last five years so i do know cars but this is my first turboed DSM/car. not trying to be a dick, just letting you know. i was reading other posts and it just hit me, i was going to block off the EGR and i haven't...
  25. just finished headgasket, now wont run

    i'm confused, i bought the car and had to put it back together, and now that it is together i can start it, it revs to like 3500-4000ish and dies BUT i can keep it going if i give it gas.
  26. just finished headgasket, now wont run

    it starts but dies right away and i can keep it running but only at a high RPM
  27. just finished headgasket, now wont run

    ok, so i bought the car last summer and the guy was in the middle of doing a headgasket. i know the head went to a machine shop and there is a new gasket in there, i put new timing stuff in (belts, pullys), and i put a 16g on, and am running a GM maf and translator and i have an EPROM...
  28. Half homemade 1g awd rear camber kit

    as long as it tightens up ok it shouldn't be a problem
  29. quick A/C yes no question

    you can not use R134A in an R12 system. as for the compressor locking up, 134a can't move the r12 oil because it is to heavy so thats why you keep wrecking compressors. either get it retro fitted for 134a or put r12 in it. and if you already retro fitted then you still have some old oil in the...
  30. is there a fix for loose door hinge?

    +1 on replacing the bushings and while you are there put new pins in.
  31. 1G AC questions and maintainance

    a bad pressure switch will cause both your idle problem and the a/c cycling continuously. when the a/c compressor kicks on the pressure switch will tell the computer to kick up the idle and at the same time the compressor kicks on the computer doesn't see the pressure go up to what it wants so...
  32. gas tank problems

    sounds like the filler neck isn't venting the way it should.
  33. Axle Seal Leak

    there might be a groove worn into the axle itself. take the axle out and see if there is a groove in the shaft
  34. High Oil Pressure

    that is your problem. the oil is so thick it can't flow as fast as lets say 5w30 so it is creating high pressure. switch to a 5w30 and you will be ok
  35. When I brake car shakes...

    rotors warp because they get really hot and if you just get them turned then all of the hot spots are still there and they will most likely warp again. just save yourself the hassle and put new ones on.
  36. starter problems

    the solenoid for the starter in junk. the click you are hearing is the solenoid trying to engage. get a new starter or just have yours rebuilt and be on your way
  37. fuel issue???

    do you have injector pulse? use a noid light to see if they are getting power
  38. help cleaning up sticky stuff

    i have seen people use a heat gun and a plastic putty knife to get the big chunks off and then just use brake clean for the left over
  39. 1G MPI relay help, (ECU not switching it to ground)

    i'm thinking that something shorted out in your ecu, if it is suppose to ground the relay and it has power there then the ecu is junk. open it up and see if there are any burn marks on the board.
  40. Coilover install question

    to install them it needs to be unloaded but if you are talking about adjusting them it doesn't matter. i will say it is a little easier to adjust them with some weight off of the suspension. hope this helps
  41. Question about Freeze plug

    no you don't, just make sure you get it in evenly all the way around
  42. How long to go on my oil...

    i fix cars for a living and for a synthetic oil it is 5,000 miles, any non-synthetic is 3,000.
  43. leaking freeze plug

    if you take the trans out why would you half ass it and use JBweld? why wouldn't you just REPLACE the frost plug?:confused:
  44. 1990 eclipse gsx problem PLEASE HELP

    +1 on the exhaust leak ticking
  45. strange very strange !!!

    someone probably added that plug in, i have never heard of there being both
  46. replaced rusty front suspension. clunks while steering. help

    it sounds like your strut plates aren't working like they are suppose to be. the plate is suppose to turn while you are turning the steering wheel but on yours it sounds like they are not turning and while you are turning the spring is sliding on the plate. i hope that all makes sense. the...
  47. Problem with obd2 Scanner

    there might be a blown fuse for it. 9 times out of 10 that is the problem. check for power for the OBD2 plug.
  48. 1g Eibach front pro alignment camber kit install ?'s

    boost92you need to have that aligned, when you put positive camber to a tire and not set toe the tires will be toed out very bad, hence the inside wear to your tires. get it aligned ASAP
  49. Central Wisconsin DSMs

    Eau Claire, WI
  50. Spark Plug Hits Piston

    the timing wouldn't matter if the piston was hitting the spark plug, it would smash the valve if were out of time. i would put the right NGKs in there and see what happens.
