I'm trying to find the correct procedure for adjusting my friends throttle position sensor on his 1991 awd 5spd. His ecu read CEL 14 (tps). He doesn't have a dsmlink and we are using a analog volt meter. I read that the vfaq is wrong and not to measure resistance, but to measure the voltage. I...

1990 awd sat for about 4 or 5 years. Towed the car to a new location and noticed the headlights, tail lights/brake lights don't work. Neither do foglights. But the hazards still work and the gauge cluster still illuminates. The headlight motors still work also. Fuses are still good. What are the...

Ok so this might sound dumb, but i did a mostly stock rebuild on my 90 tsi over the last 5 years and finally got around to finishing it up. When i tried to start the car i got no spark on all 4 cylinders :banghead: I know the coil pack is 2 seperate packs and the chance of both of them going out...

I have 2 bolts that are marked "11" and 2 that are marked "10" Im assuming they are motor mount bolts but not exactly sure which mounts. They look similar to

I just wanted to make sure before i hook everything up tomorrow and try to start the car... is this the positive terminal on my starter? I have the negative grounded to my transmission/starter bolt. And the small wire hooked to the middle of the starter

So today i installed my engine and transmission back into my 1990 awd. I found 1 extra hole near the a/c bracket on the rear of the block. Im not sure if there is supposed to be anything that mounts here? Its the hole circled in red in the picture. i know the 4 blue circles are for the a/c...

So my buddy was working on my oil pump while i was doing who knows what in the shop, and after the oil pump got installed i noticed he installed my balance shaft freeze plug the opposite way :banghead: I don't really see it being a issue, but i notice everybody else installed them the other way...

So i'm finally getting around to putting together this 1st gen that I tore apart like 4 years ago. Talk about a brain fart. Sure hope I got it all the right way HA! Everything is going smooth. Pretty much stock. Got the head rebuilt from a local machinist. Honed the block. All new gaskets and...

Little bastard children shot my rear driver side window out earlier playing with a bb-gun. Their dad says he will pay. Just wondering what a reasonable price would be to have it replaced. 1g

So I received a new balance shaft elimination kit today. I previously ordered some ebay junk and the cap for the balance shaft hole didn't fit. The new kit that I got was advertised as OEM.. I know the stub shaft is OEM because its in the mitsu sealed package.. but the Rubber coated plug is not...

I was desperate and just ordered a used timing cover from somebody on here. Then I was looking around for parts for a hyundai sonata, realized they also had the 4g63, and found these lower timing covers. 1 appears to be 1ga Beck Arnley 038 0265 Timing Cover Engine Timing Cover | eBay and the...

Finally getting around to putting my 90 TSI back together after 3-4 years of being torn apart :D. Pretty much just gave it a stock engine rebuild. When I pulled the engine I labeled every vacuum line from a-z with tape and a sharpie... The car has been serverely weathered and 90% of my labels...

So i'm sure a few of you have seen my thread in the newbie forum Mr. BlackForest Co even posted on it lol. but to sum it all up. I have a 90 tsi awd 5sp that is torn into pieces. I have no idea what all it needs to get going. I don't know any dsm'ers that are willing to take a few hours of their...

Hey guys. This might be a long shot. I still haven't got around to putting my damn 90 tsi awd back together. 200,000 miles. It was originally my baby, sold it to a friend and then he pretty much gave me the car back a year later. All he told me was that it wouldn't run, and if he could get it to...

So I obtained 1 of my old vehicles(90 tsi awd) back from a friend that I sold it to years ago. He gave it back to me saying that he has no idea whats wrong with it and that it just doesn't run. He had some1 else look at it that was interested in buying it from him and let them do a compression...

I usually warm up my car for 5 - 10 minutes before driving it everytime. I noticed lately that when I start my car the volts are normal, but if I only let it warm up for 5minutes and its not completely warmed up my volts drop and fluctuate dramatically while driving until it hits full temp. I'm...

My transfer case is leaking. It doesn't seem to be coming from the output shaft seal, but from the yoke on driveshaft or u-joint. I have already done the vfaq rtv fix for the yoke. Is this going to be a problem having the recall done for transfer case leaks? Also the seal for the output shaft...

I am installing a f1 gripforce stage 2 clutch in my 95awd. I remember when replacing the clutch in my 90awd I had to pull the trans out a second time to space the pivot ball out a little. There is currently no spacers behind pivot ball and I was wondering if I am going to have to do the same...

Does anybody have expirence with these f1 gripforce stage 2 clutch kits?

about a week ago i drove my car to work and back, running just fine. on my way home from work i stopped by my house for maybe 2 or 3 minutes went back out to my car, started it and tried to put it in gear but couldn't it grinded.... i kept pushing in the clutch and see if it would shift but no...

i got my old 1g back from a friend. He didn't tell me very much about, he just said it was running horrible, idling really low and wanting to die. almost made it sound like a electrical problem. i went to the car and pulled out the spark plugs and found that 1 of them was damaged pretty bad, it...

so im lookating at getting my old 90 tsi awd back from a friend. it needs a lot of work. for it to start up and drive it really just needs a alternator which i already have, but it leaks oil like crazy from the crank seal. the rack n pinion leaked and never got fluid, im planning on replacing...

i have my dash taken apart right now and noticed this relay that 1 of the wires is cut. can anybody tell me what relay this is and where i might possibly be able to find the other end of it lol my car is 95tsi awd 5spd. the relay mounts to the floor heater vent on the driverside, i have it...

ever since i bought the car a year ago i have always had a little problem with the starter but now its getting worse every day. when i got the car sometimes you would have to turn the key like 2 or 3 times before it would start. thought it was that the starter wires were curroded so i cleaned...

hello all, havent posted in awhile (luckily) but once again having problems.... my front d/s brake (95 tsi awd) makes a clicking noise and feeling when stoping only at low speeds, but it takes about 15 minutes of driving before it happens. it doesn't wabble or shake or pull to either side, they...

I have been having problems with the front brakes on my 95 tsi awd. it seems like they are overheating after about 20minutes of driving they start to make a clicking sound when coming to a stop at low speeds. at high speeds they seem to work just fine. no shaking, no noise and they are very...

when i open my d/s door it drops about a half inch or so. and when you close it you have to lift the door up a little or else the door wont shut right. i thought about just lowering the latch (strike plate) a little but then the door wont line up right and the line of the body would be off. so...

today i was doing a little tinkerin with my throttle body, after plugging the battery back in and started it up i noticed that the power door locks aren't working. i never had a problem with my locks until now. you can hear it clicking by the radio where the relays are. any ideas?

alright so my paint is horrible on my 95 tsi, black with half the clear coat missing and a grey eclipse bumper. i need to paint it bad! so i have a buddy with a few guns and he is willing to let me use his garage and tools and even help with the whole process, i just have to pick a color. I saw...

i have read a lot of unresolved post about this code... My uncle has had a auto 97tsi fwd for over a year now and almost this whole time it has ran like crap. when he first got it he took me for a ride and let me drive it, the car ran good it was pretty fast. no idle problem or anything. then...

hey there, i have this pretty clean hyundai vc that i picked up from the junk yard... mine is cracked horribly and spewing oil everywhere... i have read post where people say they just used the mitsubishi gasket... will this work??? i have the hyundai spark plug seals, but my hyundai vc gasket...

im having trouble finding a gasket for my hyundai vc. read posts for hours and nobody cleared it up which gasket this cover calls for. I have the black valve cover that is smooth, no lines, nothing uptop, it DOES NOT say hyundai on it. I have a new 4g63 mitsu gasket that does not fit. the gasket...

I have a 95tsi awd 5spd 112k miles on it. Almost stock. Got the car with evo 8 bov, lightweight flywheel and stage2 clutch. First thing i did was a BLT, fixed the shaft seals and biss o-ring and since then, no boost leaks. I put an intake to the turbo but no IC pipes. I turned the boost up a...

well i just noticed that my reverse lights only come on when the shifter is halfway into gear, if you put it all the way into reverse then the lights shut off but if you hold it just a little bit out of reverse then the lights stay on. thinkin its probobly my back up switch but dont want to just...

i did the rear end eclipse conversion. spliced the wires for the reverse lights and ran new wire, plugged in the reverse lights and found out that they only come on when the shifter is only half way into gear. if you put it all the way into reverse then the lights shut off. i figured maybe it...

95 tsi awd 5speed so i pressure washed my engine earlier and noticed a have a cut wire just chillin by the power steering res on the drivers side. it is a black/red wire (circled in red) that is grounded to the body, anybody know what this is? and also have a wire connector (circled in blue)...

i was handed down a evo8 hks intake + the stock maf sensor when a buddy got rid of his evo a few years back. now the intake seems like it will bolt right up to my stock maf and all i need to do is drill a little hole for a nipple for 1 of the hoses that connects to the pipe, but is there...

ok i have done a few searches and haven't had any luck. as the cold moves in, more symptoms show! when my car is cold (like if i let it sit overnight) the timing belt is a little loose and when u start the car u can see it wable a bit. but as soon as the car warms up the belt is tight and does...

anybody replace pintle caps on stock dsm injectors? i hear u just break the old cracked cap off and the new cap just bends right in there? got a pair of cracked 450cc and also lookin at a pair of evo injectors, but 1 of the caps is cracked

so i no longer think my prob has anything to do with me replacing my tb shaft seals. NO BOOST LEAK AT ALL. I changed ngk plugs and it seemed to give me a little bit more power but it still jerks and seems like my car misfire at WOT. I can build boost up to 14psi as long as i only give it a...
