  1. Starting issues - No / Doesn't / Won't Start - MERGED

    I'll check the coolant temp sensor and see if that's causing some problems. I replaced that not too long before I started the work on the head but the wire to it was always really temperamental so I'll check it and make sure it's still connected. I've been able to start it like this on starting...
  2. Starting issues - No / Doesn't / Won't Start - MERGED

    It's been quite a while but I'm back at it and trying to get my 1G TSi up and running again.After replacing the head gasket I can't get it to fire, it will crank just fine but won't fire.I've checked all the basics. Plug wires are in the correct order, I have spark, I have compression, I...
  3. Starting issues - No / Doesn't / Won't Start - MERGED

    I know for sure the fuel pump isn't turning on. Also all four plugs spark. The plug order from left to right on the coil pack is 4123 with 1 being the cylinder closest to the timing belt right? I wasn't having this issue when I decided to replace the head gasket, I was having problems with no...
  4. Starting issues - No / Doesn't / Won't Start - MERGED

    Shouldn't it still start with three cylinders and just run really horrible? I can't get it to fire at all, doesn't even sound like it's igniting. Although that could be due to no fuel. I'm using starting fluid to get it started but I'm not having any luck
  5. Starting issues - No / Doesn't / Won't Start - MERGED

    Actually now that I thought about it I wasn't hearing the fuel pump prime so I went to check it. Don't hear the fuel pump turn on at all. It is fairly new, I replaced it a couple hundred miles before I stopped driving the car and it worked great. Any ideas?
  6. Starting issues - No / Doesn't / Won't Start - MERGED

    So I just finished re assembling my talon and it will not start. I had it apart to replace a bad head gasket and a few broken bolts. I followed the vfaq guide on removal and replacement of the head gasket and timing belt. I did not disassemble the head and replace any valves or valve stem seals...
  7. 1G What parts are these?

    Awesome thanks!I actually don't have anything on my hood anymore, my spark plug wires caught fire a few years back and burned up everything but the metal on the underside of the hood
  8. 1G What parts are these?

    Do you know where I could find a vacuum schematic? I have the earlier version of the 1g
  9. 1G What parts are these?

    Ah that makes sense why I couldn't seem to find the vacuum lines for the egr, they're still in the car. I need to find the bolt size for the egr too, I seemed to misplace them somewhere when I took off the head
  10. 1G What parts are these?

    Awesome thanks so much!As for the hoses that go to the top of the throttle body do you know what order those go in? And where do the two small hoses on the EGR connect?
  11. 1G What parts are these?

    Alright so I'm almost finished putting my talon back together. There's a few things that I don't remember where they go.Here's the album of pictures; http://imgur.com/a/R2n3SI have two that I forgot to take pictures of:What two hoses connect to the EGR? Also what size are the EGR bolts? I...
  12. 1G Auto Tensioner pin slid to the side

    The vfaq timing tutorial is actually what I've been following to remove and install the timing belt. I think the tension might be off which is probably not causing the pin to come out
  13. 1G Auto Tensioner pin slid to the side

    I was able to get the broken bolt out with a lot of heat and hammering but it eventually came out. I installed the new tensioner and I made a new bolt with a threaded rod and an acorn nut but I can't seem to get the pin out of the auto tensioner. I used a small Allen wrench as a pin and I'm...
  14. 1G Auto Tensioner pin slid to the side

    Alright I picked up another tensioner and should have it in a couple hours. I can't seem to get the bolt out of the motor mount bracket that pushes down on the timing tensioner. Is it possible to install a new one that is already compressed without having to thread in that bolt to press down the...
  15. 1G Auto Tensioner pin slid to the side

    Are the tensioners the same on the turbo and no turbo engines? Because the pick n pull by me has two non turbos that were recently put on the lot. The reason I said I can't take my talon if it doesn't run is because I can't afford a tow truck or a trailer. I have had to come up with $8000 extra...
  16. 1G Auto Tensioner pin slid to the side

    I don't have time to wait for a new tensioner. I've checked my local Craigslist ads but haven't had any luck finding one. I am moving about 50 miles north on Tuesday and cannot transfer a non running car to my new house. Is there anything I can do to make this tensioner work temporarily? My...
  17. 1G Auto Tensioner pin slid to the side

    Is there a way to remove it and put a new one on without using the long bolt to push down the pin?
  18. 1G Auto Tensioner pin slid to the side

    So I'm in a bit of a pickle here, I re installed the timing belt yesterday and all went well. When I was removing the long bolt that is used to compress the auto tensioner it snapped, leaving a little bit of the bolt in the threads. This isn't the issue as it was far enough out that it didn't...
  19. 1G What parts are these?

    I ran into a bit of an issue today. I was able to get the timing belt and auto tensioner on yesterday and then today after I got everything else on and put the motor mount on I noticed that the timing belt is very loose, I can slide it side to side on the cam gears. Why would my timing belt be...
  20. 1G What parts are these?

    Yeah the seals are what I was talking about. Where does the rear main seal go?
  21. 1G What parts are these?

    Awesome thanks! That really helps to know where they go. Do you know where those other plastic rings go? I've never seen them before
  22. 1G What parts are these?

    Yeah after an extensive google search I realized that it's the power steering belt. I would replace the balance shaft belt if I had the time and the money but I don't. I need to have my TSi back together and running this weekend and I haven't had a whole lot of time to devote to it. The timing...
  23. 1G What parts are these?

    Alright so here's the gasket set I bought. I know I'm not going to use some of these because some of them were for a pretty in depth disassemble of the engine, I sadly don't have the time to do a complete overhaul so I just did the head gasket and fixed the head. There's also another small...
  24. 1G What parts are these?

    Ah yes I remember now! Thanks for your help guys. There's also quite a few different gaskets in the kit that I bought that I'm not sure where they go so I will post those when I get home. I was watching videos of people rebuild 4g63 engines and I found where most of them go but a couple of them...
  25. 1G What parts are these?

    Hi everyone,I'm finally getting around to replacing the head gasket in my 92 TSi and I have a couple parts that I'm not sure where they go. I'm currently at work so I don't have any pictures to post right now but I can post them when I get home.There are three small round plastic pieces...
  26. Broke a broken bolt extractor in a broken bolt...... twice

    Anyone know where I can buy a used one? Also what is the name of the part? I thought it was the turbo manifold but I cannot find anything on a turbo manifold when I search for parts
  27. Broke a broken bolt extractor in a broken bolt...... twice

    Yeah I figured those cracks were not normal. Does anyone know where I could get a new one for relatively cheap? I am moving an about a month and a half and need to have her back up and running so I can take her with me but I have a very small budget to work with because all money is going...
  28. Broke a broken bolt extractor in a broken bolt...... twice

    Well I removed the turbo manifold so that I could take it in to a friends machine shop and have them remove the bolts for me. I noticed what looks like several cracks in different places inside of the manifold and I don't think this is normal. Would it be a good idea to purchase a new one that...
  29. Broke a broken bolt extractor in a broken bolt...... twice

    I had read about welding a nut to the broken bolt to try and remove it but I don't have access to a welder. I have access to a pretty limited variety of tools that I can use. Would a propane torch be able to heat up another bolt enough to be able to melt the steel and "weld" it to the broken bolt?
  30. Broke a broken bolt extractor in a broken bolt...... twice

    I have a 92 Talon TSi in my garage that I have been working on for quite a while now. It started as a free project car and needed a whole bunch of various work to get it up and running again. Eventually had it it running great for a few months, then it started having issues again. After doing...
  31. Dented Pistons and Bent Valves

    What do you mean by fix it? I think I would rather do the work myself than replace it because I don't have a very large budget for this car. I was going to disassemble the head and clean it and then replace any bent valves. What else should I do to it before I put it back on the block?
  32. Dented Pistons and Bent Valves

    So I finally got the head off of my 1g after countless hours of work. I read instructions in both the haynes manual and chiltons manual and I also had to look through several tutorials since before I got this car I knew nothing about how to do any mechanical work on a car. Long story short I got...
  33. Replacing the Head Gasket

    I have a jack with a block of wood holding up the engine under the oil pan. I can't get that nut to budge and I don't have access to a impact wrench or a torch
  34. Replacing the Head Gasket

    Yeah that engine mount. I'll take a picture of the bolt I'm talking about and post it
  35. Replacing the Head Gasket

    I think I am just going to go ahead with getting down to the head. I started with the tutorial on vfaq about removing the timing belt. I tried removing the engine mount but I am stuck. I removed all the bolts connecting the engine mount to the engine but I am confused on which bolt to remove to...
  36. Replacing the Head Gasket

    The compression I got from the test was 110-140-120-115
  37. Replacing the Head Gasket

    So I guess my question is should I proceed in changing the head gasket or should I put everything back together and do another compression test? The two things that led me to believe it was the head gasket because of the low compression across the board, which I know now that I did the...
  38. Replacing the Head Gasket

    I did do a compression test before I started tearing apart and the compression was very low across the board. I then realized after I started taking it apart that I did the compression test incorrectly, I forgot to hold down the gas pedal when I did the compression test. I don't know if the...
  39. Replacing the Head Gasket

    I have a 1g TSi that is having some major issues and I think I have narrowed it down to the head gasket and the piston rings. This is my first time doing engine work like this in a car, I would take it to a shop but I don't have the money to pay someone to do it and time isn't exactly a major...
  40. Bad sputtering, Wont stay running and smells rich

    Alright so I just finished the compression test. Looks like the compression is pretty bad in all four cylinders.Here's the compression from cylinder one to four (I think one to four, it was from the cylinder closest to the timing belt to the farthest)115-110-115-120Then I did a wet test...
  41. Bad sputtering, Wont stay running and smells rich

    I'm trying to figure out where this connector goes before I start the car in case it's something important. I looked on that Site you linked me to but I still can't find it
  42. Bad sputtering, Wont stay running and smells rich

    My car doesn't have fog lights. I know it's not a headlight connector because I have both headlights off and I can see the two connectors for each side. The only reason why I don't think it's a fog light connector is because I can't find a connector like it on the other side.Yeah the timing...
  43. Bad sputtering, Wont stay running and smells rich

    My TSi is a 92, It's a 1g
  44. Bad sputtering, Wont stay running and smells rich

    I was putting my talon back together today so I can do a compression test and I found this connector unplugged and I don't know where it goes.It is in front of the side of the air can where the air enters the air can. I can't find where it goes so if anyone knows where it goes let me know
  45. Bad sputtering, Wont stay running and smells rich

    I did a compression test a while back but I will go pick up a compression tester tomorrow and do a compression test. Might take me a day or two since I pulled out the radiator, intercooler, and air can to make it easier to find leaks
  46. Bad sputtering, Wont stay running and smells rich

    Yeah I know how much of a PITA the shaft seals are. I replaced those and cleaned my TB a while back. I also replaced the oring on the BISS. What I found to be even more of a PITA was changing the oring in the turbo. First I had to get the turbo out, then change the oring and get that stupid...
  47. Bad sputtering, Wont stay running and smells rich

    Both intercooler pipes were on nice and snug. I had a difficult time getting them off, I don't think they had ever been taken off. I'm going to plug one end of my intercooler and use my boost leak tester on the other end to check and see if it has any leaks but I don't think it does. I have a...
  48. Bad sputtering, Wont stay running and smells rich

    There is a pretty large leak somewhere but I can't seem to find it. I have checked the CAS and the bov is being recirculated. I did a compression test a while back when this started and the results were a little low but not too much, I don't remember the exact numbers. There was quite a bit of...
  49. Bad sputtering, Wont stay running and smells rich

    Yeah I saw a picture a while back about having to be 30 degrees past tdc to keep everything sealed. So where could this huge leak be? I can't feel any air when I hook up the system to an air compressor but it wont hold any air at all, it is all leaking somewherw
  50. Bad sputtering, Wont stay running and smells rich

    I just finished doing the test from the turbo inlet. I'm getting the same thing I did before, all the air sounds like it is going from the turbo into the engine. I remember from a while ago seeing a post talking about the engine needs to be rotated to a certain position so the air doesn't go...
