I have to find someone with a compression tester and I have to build a boost leak tester. These are my next two steps and once done I will reply with the results of both.

Ok so I went back out there and double checked for leaks, I found a small drip right at the thermostat housing so I managed to fix that and the temp gauge actually moved up above the halfway point until the fans kicked on after going for a short drive. I also noticed the swirling whirlpool with...

Also I do have some mechanical knowledge but am no expert. I have owned one turbo dsm in the past and this car just seems to fall on its face compared to that one. When I turn my boost controller off the car holds 10psi consistently but the turbo doesn't pull at all. It doesn't pull at all...

The belt broke because my alternator is going out and the belt was worn. I know its going out because it squeals at startup and when I turn on my headlights. I am currently waiting on a new bosch to come that I just ordered. No there aren't any leaks of any kind which is surprising actually...

So a month ago I bought a 99 GST from a private seller. According to him everything is stock except 16g turbo w Greddy Profec Type S Boost Controller, FMIC, Hard IC Piping, 1g BOV. 255 Walbro FP. Car has an aftermarket boost gauge and an A/F gauge. So the car drove good when I first bought it...

Actually I bought a new cv axle and installed it and it still didnt fix the problem so Im thinking I either have a warped rim...or out of balance wheel. Thats all I can think that it could be

I never took it off I just unscrewed the bolts and turned it....sooooo ya. Could that cause it to miss if its far advanced or retardedanyone?

Hey guys... Ive searched for this but not really found the info I needed. I have a 6bolt swap in my vehicle with a 1g cas and I unbolted it last weekend because I couldnt get my car to start which turned out to be an unplugged temp sensor. Go figure. But anyways now my CAS is off. My car starts...

16g turbo, evo 8 pistons, 550 injectors, safc, 190 walbro, 272 cams...

Ok guys. I just got my car to running again. I couldnt get it to start and believe it or not it was the temp sensor unplugged, which I found out after I literally tore my car apart. Next time Ill start simple instead of thinking its something major wrong. So I got my car started and now when I...

I have checked the compression and spark. All 4 are getting spark and my compression is good. Ive also checked my fuel pump and its working, Only thing I havent done is take off the line at the fuel rail and then cranked to see if it was squirting out. But it started 10 min before this no...

Ok guys so the other day I made the mistake of putting on my hot battery cable with the key on. The car started once, ran like it was hitting on 2 cylinders, then died. Now the car wont start period..it just cranks and all this because I put my hot wire on with the key turned on to accesory. Ive...

Wow. I think I may have fried my ecu but heres the story. I removed my hot wire with the ground wire still on while my key turned over to accesory, I then put my hot wire back on to the batt, sparks went flying, then went to start my car... it started but idled horribly and when i gave it gas...

Well the story was I was racing a trans am from a stop light....We passed a cop and he hit his lights so I cut into a parking lot fast and pretty much dukes of hazzard style'd it over a hump. Good news is I beat the TA, got away from the cops and he got pulled over!! Heh

Thanks man. Im starting to get fed up with my eclipse. I havent drove it in two weeks because it needs a new cv axle, new water pump, new plugs, new manifold bolts because 4 of them broke when it bottomed out and now the oil press is not registering. Next thing knowning my luck with be something...

Sweet. So If It reads full pressure then the gauge or sender is bad? Ill check it this weekend and get back with you.

Ok...I was asking because my oil pressure gauge stopped working ( The Stock One ) So Im trying to find a good replacement. Im thinking it might be the sender unit because it looks in bad shape. What would be a good recommendation for a replacement?

So my car has the AMS External oil cooler installed by the previous owner. AMS DSM External Oil Cooler Kit - Amsperformance.com Am I really getting any benefit from this and could this cause my oil pressure to be lower than normal?

Well I havent drove it alot since the problem has started but It seemed to only vibrate when I pressed the gas pedal. If I would accelerate to a certain speed then let off of the throttle, the vibration would stop soooooo i think its definately something drivetrain related

Ok thanks skillz...that takes care of it being my BSB because it doesnt vibrate when idling, other than from the cams. Belive it or not I bottomed out so hard that It popped 3 bolts off my manifold and snapped 1 bolt off into the block. So I have a bad exhaust leak and wouldnt really be able to...

So lately my car has been vibrating horribly on acceleration after I bottomed out pulling into a parking lot. I jacked my car up last night and noticed that my inner cv boot had been ripped pretty bad and it looked dirty inside. What are the chances that the inner CV is bad and causing my car to...

I also forgot to mention that since this has started happening, my car is hard to start after sitting for a few hours. Its almost like all the gas had leaked back into the tank and I have tap the gas a few times and crank, then stop and retry a few times before it will finally start. Could this...

So I was driving home from work tonight, I heard something pop and then the sound of something metal bouncing off the bottom of the car. But the vehicle didnt seem to drive any different so I just kept going because I thought I might have ran over something. I dropped my friend off at his house...

Possibly, I paid 3000 for my GS but it was in good shape. But you also dont know if its only the tranny thats wrong with it. It could also have engine problems and or suspension problems. You could end up putting 1500+ into it. But i definately wouldnt buy it.

I really dont know, I think its from the resistance that each wire brand has..could also be the brand name that your paying for lol. But like I said I use magstars and they do the job fine

Well I wouldnt want it because It has the 420A engine in it. But if it was a turbo AWD with only a tranny problem for 500 I wouldnt think twice about buying it.. Also I cant really tell from the picture ### its not clear but it looks like the paint has some fading/bad spots going on. So. I...

I use magstar racing wires with NGK plugs, but IMO its a personal preference. Id go with whichever your wallet can handle. Im not sure of the prices of each

Welcome to the forum... Ok heres what Ive experienced... I had a 95 GS non turbo that would spudder really bad and not accelerate so I changed the spark plugs and thought that was it and it wasnt...Then I changed the plug wires and it immediately solved the problem. So NEVER rule out your plug...

I have a 98 spyder gs with the 4g64 2.4 in it. I have a 95 gst with the 4g63 and I was wondering what parts would work off the spyder and onto the 95. Will the water pump, coil pack, timing bearings, etc?

That's one of the nicest 1g's Ive seen, and Im not really a big fan of 1g :-) Dont hate :-( But srsly, Im jealous

Ok guys.. I have a 98 spyder GS with 4G64 engine. Something is wrong with the motor, when I start it up the motor shakes VIOLENTLY, like its trying to come free from the car. I checked the motor mounts and thats not it. I also checked for valve play and those are all solid also. So Im guessing...

I have no exhaust leaks at all...but what if one of my cylinders is losing spark while driving, would this cause a lean or rich condition?

UEGO WB and when it happens its around 17.6 to 18.0

Ok thanks man.

Yes I do have it vented...But would that really cause it to die? Also I was planning on getting a GMMAF + MAFT instead of the MAS...Does the safc work well with the AFC?

Ok guys..I've got a problem, I just installed my SAFC and got my car tuned to where it runs good with my 550 injectors etc etc. But for some reason after a hard run of the car, when I push in the clutch, the rpms fall down and the car dies. Also I can be cruising along and my car will start...

Well I dont have a cat so Its actually closer to the front of the car than if it had the cat. Wouldnt throw it off being there would it?

My Wideband sensor is mounted in my rear o2 sensor housing. Are you talking about my karman reading from the SAFC? ### I think it was around 80 if thats it

Ressurecting the thread!! TN!! WOO!! Not many of us around here :-(

Yes I replaced the spark plug tube gaskets. And yeah, I found that out the hard way about overtightening so Its not my gaskets, it COULD be my oil cap gasket

No stereo whine. My plugs and wires are only a month old...just covered by oil from whatever is leaking on my valvecover.

Ok so you learn something everyday. Didnt know that about lean on idle. But my AFR at idle was 17-18. And I turned my SAFC 1000 trim all the way to +50 and still no change so. Does anyone know where I could be hearing electricity from under the hood if it isnt my wires?

Ok so I am trying to tune my car with my SAFC 2. It thought I had it running ok but my settings seemed to be EXTREME. like all my Hi-Throttle was in the -20's. Then I turned up my boost and tried adjusting again, now it seems like all the settings I change have no affect on the vehicle. Like...

So I just bought a Zex dry kit from my turbo eclipse ( I know most ppl recommend a wet kit but I bought it before researching :P ) So it says I need plugs 2 heat degrees colder than stock plugs. Can anyone suggest some plugs for me? Also I have the ZEX Intake Air Filter which you plug your N20...

Ok. Ill try this and see what I come up with

thanks for the quick reply. I have the TurboX's MBC ... And this is a dumb but how do I do add a soapy water mix? I turn on my compressor, hook the hose up to the inlet and pressurize...where would I even add soapy water to make it go thru the intake?

Ok so I did a boost leak test the other day and watched my gauge...my boost gauge went up to 11 pound then wouldnt go any farther and when I removed the pressure the boost started going down. Is this normal or should it stay at 11 psi? Also it sounded like my boost controller was leaking but I...

No sadly I dont have a datalogger. But I am getting a #1 cylinder misfire. Maybe this has something to do with it. And its not from my plugs its ### I have an oil ring gasket leak, which im fixing this weekend. So I should leave my idle and cruise throttle alone? Just adjust my WOT?

Ok so I just installed a UEGO wideband and SAFC 2 into my car. Before I did any tuning I drove it for a while to see what a/f's I was getting. When I am idling my af gauge cycles from 14.7 to 16.0. What should It be at? When Im cruising along at half-throttle It ranges from 15.0 to 16.7 and when...

Well before I installed the SAFC I had the biss set correctly and it idled at 1000. Then I read a tuning guide for the safc and it said to adjust the biss all the way out so I did that and now I get idle surge. This also happened when I chaged spark plugs when I first bought the car but I just...
