    Car starts then dies...

    Where did you get the replacement ECU? Did you get a used one, a re-capped one, or new? My Laser had the same symptoms a long time ago and once I replaced the caps I've never had a problem with the ECU. I'd check into it after all the things you've done to it.

    Is this performance chip legit?

    Item location: seattle, WA, United StatesMaybe I should see if he will letme just pick one up directly from him? You know, since he is so close.

    No connectivity with MMcd HELP!!

    Shot in the dark here, but when you have your car running, and the palm connected, is the Pause button checked?Also the parameters like RPM, INJD, KNCK etc are they selected? You have to select each one before it'll run in Monitor or Log modes.

    Syptoms of a bad thermostat?

    So have you checked the resistance on the Coolant Temp. Sensor yet?

    Syptoms of a bad thermostat?

    Check your Coolant temp sensor. @32F 5.1-6.5ohms @66F 2.1-2.7ohm @104 0.9-1.3ohm @176 0.26-0.36ohm. If that's bad then the ecu would default the temp and cause it to run like turd, and give ya bad gas milage. The fans still work when you turn them on manually so the relay is most likely...

    Data logger question

    That's not a bad deal at all. Wished I didn't have to pay my Parole Officer this week..... :-/I pieced a set together with a Palm Vx (non-color), + DSMCables w/OEM connection, and a Serial to USB cable for a touch more than 65 bucks. When Palm shopping, you do want the ones with a color...

    car feals "heavy" after letting of gas

    I agree, drive around for a bit and see if your brakes smell hot after normal driving. Go down a hill and pop it in neutral and see if it does it.Another thing to check is check to see if your BOV recirculation hose is hooked up right. I drove with a Turbo XS Blow off for awhile cause it...

    Causes of Balance Shaft Belt wear?

    I'd totally loose them anyways. My BS belt broke and almost grenaded my motor, so I got a nice pair of fish bats now. :-)

    dsmcables.com??

    I did get my cable from DSMCables and I works great. Took almost 2 weeks, but I did get it. I was actually wanting to make my own, but it's a pain in the rear with my work schedule, and making it to Fry's..... Oddly enough, it's kinda hard to find 'geeky' type electronic places here in North...

    I'm really starting to question this guys buisness skills..... I bought a cable, well sent him money over a week ago, via Paypal for a cable. I haven't heard a thing. I've sent him two emails asking when I should expect the cable, or when he's going to ship it and haven't heard a thing.....:mad:

    JUST PUT 10$ OF 87(octane) IN MY BABY?!?!?!?!?!?1

    Just stay out of the boost and it'll be fine. If you don't have the money to fill it up with 91 you probably shouldn't be racing around. But California gas anyways......nevermind

    Non turbo eclipse to awd

    If I remember right isn't the 2g automatic a 41TE tranny? If so they made a varient of that for the V-6 minivans with AWD. That might work.Lot of money and trouble that you could just go out and get a AWD turbo and use extra money saved to go faster.Would be cool if you had the time...

    Blowing up a 420a

    I did the same thing to my 'winter car' when I lived in West Virginia. It was a 85 Omni that had just spun a rod bearing. I was crazy pissed when I did it. That 2.2 held 7,000+ rpms a lot longer than I thought it would hold it. Engine finally stalled and seized up.I'd own a n/t Eclipse...

    More dumb questions in choosing a DSM to start with

    And, driving it 200+ miles with a possible blown head gasket, and blown turbo, I'd put more money on you getting stuck somewhere in the middle of nowhere than making it home. You'd have to keep checking and adding oil + water and it just doesn't seem worth it.There are quite a few DSM'ers...

    Did ya ever get it figured out?

    More problems.....HELP

    Another thing is you are supposed to kinda take it easy on a new clutch to "break it in". I've heard 200-300 miles, and I've heard 500miles.It's hard to stay out of it, but it'll be less headaches in the near future.

    Many problems happened all at once.

    Your 95 is OBD-2, with 2 oxygen sensors right? That leak would cause idle issues. Also a leak in flex pipe would add more heat in the area of the alternator, so that could contribute to it going out. But from someone who has replaced his alternator six times since I bought the car in 2003 it...

    Also take into account that you do still live at home and for the most part have to follow their rules. Your father might be somewhat concerned for your safety by modding turbo DSMs to go faster.

    Basic questions from a newbie

    I agree Turbo Timers are a waste of money. Change your oil to something synthetic like Mobil 1. And just sit for a minute or two after you pull off a highway or are driving at high speeds before you turn off your car.Like the others said too, change the timing belt, and take those balance...
