11B for 4 years, then injured. :( CIB owner as well. :) I miss it.

I've had this problem several times and it always turned out to be a bad ground. Run another ground from the battery to the body in addition to the one that is there and see what happens.

99 Eclipse RS I actually emailed this guy about the "160 hp 4g63"... Amazing the crap that some people just pull out of the air. He never replied.Trade For A Vehicle What a great offer! I think I'll jump right on that.95 Mitsubishi Eclipse turboLooks like dom found his ride. You're...

Use caution when pulling off a battery cable with the car running. This worked great on older vehicles without all of the electronics that are found on new cars. That is not a great way to test the alternator anymore. I'd double check the wiring going to the alternator and check your battery...

I'd do a compression test and a fuel pressure test on it. Might have messed up a piston with the bent valves.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that.

Ouch, yeah we've all done crazy stuff. Glad you figured it out!

It sounds like a battery connection problem to me... anyone else wanna chime in?

If it is an automatic, try putting it in neutral to start it. If it is a manual, check to make sure the clutch safety switch is working right. Double, no triple check the ground. That is an all important part that most people overlook. Does the car have a security system on it?

Is the smoke white or blue? White smoke is water. Blue is oil. Sometimes its hard to tell... Any water in the oil or oil in the water? Check the oil level too! I know this may seem simple, but overfilling can cause smoking as well.

Had any luck with it yet?

So, have you found out anything yet?

Ouch. Sorry to hear that.

Hmm. This seems like a pretty confusing situation. I'd do a fuel pressure test at the rail rather than taking off a line. Just because it is shooting out fuel out of a disconnected line, doesn't mean that it is getting enough pressure to the rail. I would also caution you about taking off a...

Well... The issue you have to consider is that the bearings in the pulleys have been spinning just as long as the water pump and the timing belt. I would replace them all. I know you are planning a build, but its always better to be safe than sorry. Just my 2 cents.

Awesome. So I take it you got it running then?

That could be lifter tick or coming from the rail or injectors. I'd start with a fuel pressure test and then do a compression test if the fuel pressure passes. You can rent a tester from Autozone. Let me know what you find out.

Gotta love the huge wing. 95 eclipse rs

Where is the ticking sound coming from? Could be a bad fuel pump or injector. Have you ran a pressure test on it?

There are several threads about this. Just do a forum search! Good luck with the swap. You are much braver than I am. :hellyeah:

From looking at the pictures, I'd say that the brown was the ground on the sensor.

The April thing at Centerville sounds like a plan to me. Any news on a date?

I'm new to the forums. Just got my first 2g talon a month ago. I am in the Benton/Malvern area.

Thanks for the input. Before I bolted up the mount, it was coming off of the front, after I bolted the mount in, the belt moved to the back. I finally figured out my problem though... the PO had apparently done a TB change and for some reason flipped the cam gears over to the 2.4 side... I feel...

I know this is an old post but I was wondering if you ever solved this problem. I am having the same issue and it is driving me insane!
