Just remember that if the transmission is old, never had an transmission oil change and you put new fluid in it will probably wipe current transmission out.ATF fluid breaks down the transmissions rubber parts to begin with but only so much and when the fluid becomes shot and keeps being ran...

If balance shafts were removed and oil is leaking in the timing I want to bet that a soft plug I think is what I used for the one hole because I have seen them leak because of that either not being put in or falling out then can be messy and keep an engine from rusting. :) Not fun to work with...

Well doing lifters soon, now since I see how they go in and out on this car and with the blue point tool for depressing the valve springs looks pretty easy to do.

Cold start, was running as normal with the random stutter for a few seconds after running then was fine, then started acting weird like that. I tested this ISC before I put it in last year and read good and BISS is 2 full turns out (ill check on this maybe it moved on its own a little..)

Well this confused me, I decided to unplug the ISC motor before starting it, which made it idle higher but then kept dropping down.This is at steady idle in park.Steady 2100 - 2200 rpm then drop to 1100 then back and forth until I turned car off to plug it back in.Should that act like...

Yes its exhaust to head sorry for not clarifying that.

Sorry lack of sleep from work has me out of it, but point being of my question was will this cause a massive boost leak? Hoping to have the money in a month or two to be fixed so it's all good but if it will cause massive boost leak then I am gonna have to hope I can find a friend with the tools...

Well I am missing from the two side bolts for the stud so I ordered that from mitsu because I can't get the actually size dimension or how ever you want to state it, but after taking heat shield off noticed one of the small ones is broken, any suggestions to go about fixing it? Have a feeling I...

Unfort. I am not but I am sure other far more experienced members can help you out.

Did you have these issues before replacing pump? If not is it another stock pump or high flow?But far as I know key pressure is like 43 or something of that nature. Idk if the couple lbs can make that big of a difference. ( I am not a huge tech head when it comes to these cars still learning...

Only advice I can say is the BISS screw on intake if there is no real reason to mess with it should be 2 full turns out (careful not to bottom it out)Is it just cranking and cranking but won't go actually start? If so.. A. Bad starter or starter solenoid B. Battery is weak and not holding /...

Going to do a BLT this weekend and will post back afterwards, going to do the soapy water method for bubbles since I found nothing with starting fluid when running.Thanks for the input everyone has given so far. I am not a expert mechanic but am capable of most things besides tearing a motor...

Just not full power at times rpms don't drop or anything and plugs are normal wear no green tint to them and no sweet smell coming from exhaust so no head gasket issue.I don't burn any oil I do know that for a fact.Gap on plugs if I remember right is at 28 but should they be different for...

Cleaned the pack out because was dirty and opened the end of the wires a little bit so it has better contact and grab for seating, car is on jacks at the moment but seemed to start a little better.

Well first here is everything that has been changed within the past 2 years (car has actually only driven maybe 12k?)Spark plugs and wires (ngk single electrode remember seeing a post on that) ISC motor, EGR Valve, and PCV valve from mitsu 02 Sensors changed 1 year ago and the MAF because old...

Well had a friend 420a rs and had roughly same issues.Valve cover is probably leaking somewhere or it's valve seals if it is exhaust bound smoke. Best thing to do honestly mix 1/2 a bottle of lucas with oil changes or 1 full bottle depending on severity. I myself have never had an issue using...

End clutch is known for going, get the alto end clutch and shouldn't have any more issues.Just clean the valve body and flush the solenoids and changing the trans filter wouldn't hurt.

Well first question is what bushings are above the tire that you could see without even jacking it up, because mine are shot and making the rear sound like crap and cannot drive at all in the snow which last year I was ok but not this year.How do you tell what ball joints are bad?I just...

Possible mpi relay?

Just a reference as stated above this happened in my gst with the old trans because friend didnt put the dowels in and when someone revved it to 6k blew it apart along with the starter.

Ill give this a shot this morning but I am smart enough to use distilled water only and water pump I had replaced last year when I had the time done because a soft plug for the balance shaft came out and sprayed out ridiculously bad.Thanks for the replies!

Stripped out or bottomed out?Maybe invest into a new throttle body?

Make sure BISS is 2 turns out if your ISC is plugged in and working correctly.Boost leak test?

Faulty ISC motor could do this too.Mine acts like this since pins 4-6 took a crap.

Bearing it sounds like, if you start getting a loud knock / rattle then you got a rod going out! So def. don''t drive it then.Maybe while it's jacked up have go under it and while it's running see if you can feel vibration or more prominent noise while your under the pan.How many miles on...

I don't loose any coolant, reservoir stays good, rarely it might leak a little out of the one O ring that comes from the lower compartment of the engine to the thermostat housing but nothing near a significant amount, plus I check all fluids daily.Oil has no signs of any mixture, exhaust no...

Well I have noticed a lack in power but wondering if that is the turbo going because doesn't spool like it should and makes a loud pitch whistle for 10 - 30 seconds after letting off boost (probably the wastegate?)Compression test would give same results as buying a coolant tester though...

well here is what is going onthermostat went a little above half but never got hot but had to baby it or it would've gone to high but then straightened itself out for maybe 3 minutes then back to the same wayim thinking that maybe the thermostat is sticking (at least hoping so)no coolant /...

I will vouch the snap on die nut, worked like a charm.Took maybe 5 mins eating away some of the end and pushing hard with it but once it started it ate back into the old threads without any damage / issues.

I don't have the tools nor know anything about welding and what not, so since I got a stock exhaust except for my Apexi N1 Can which the back of it won't pass inspection as well looking for a cheap but worth the investment full exhaust.

95-99 MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE GST 2.0L TURBO N1 CATBACK EXHAUST - TITANIUM TIPIs there anything possibly wrong with this?My stock downpipe flexpipe is cracked on the top so it has a leak... won't pass inspection with it and nobody can do under 180 for new flex to be put in.

Boost leak, could be a bad o ring on the BISS or anything, but checking the ISC isn't a bad thing, if bad and no extra cash for a new one then just unplug it and bring the BISS out a little bit (stock is 2 full turns out, but never bottom it out when screwing it in)If the BISS is set up...

OEM/Axle spindle threading set (27233) | Spindle Nut Socket | AutoZone.com Well would this work?I was worried about hand grinding it to a taper if I could really F myself then and not be able to get it started at all by doing that..try CRC Freeze Off almost works everytime for anything...

Well I don't know anybody with a die nut so maybe hand grind the end off to a taper just a little bit to try and catch thread?

Well if I can ever find time I will try to condense a lot of usual problems / issues into my top thread and if anyone would post what they can think of I will throw them into my first post is my whole idea.

Basically yes, for the most common and what not, obviously not everything can be pin pointed to one thing but 80% could be...Just like wellWheel bearing : Sounds like driving in a tunnel when turning or straight, well varying on which side it is that would be a wheel bearing usually...

For all trouble shoot problems you can possibly think of but keep a plain format and easy for CTRL + F (search) use...Idling / Dieing out issues: FIAV (Fast idle air valve), Boost Leak Test, check throttle cable, , MAF Sensor ETC..Kinda like a chilton manual but a little more specific with...

Never had one click usually like a surge / buzz with no actually cranking.So def sounds like a ground / short, good luck!

Just IMO never re use head bolts or head gaskets even if new. Once hot never the same when re using.

Send it to ECMLink but yes it is possible and again could be still a bad boost leak...

Thank you! Only one area of it looks boogered up and seriously don't know how..Well tried filing it a little on the high spot didn't work, going to see if I can get a die for this.. if not does anybody have any advice on how to do the axles... this is the only thing I never done besides...

Well if the knock was bad you would notice by the timing being retarded when it shouldn't be right?

If your blowing black most when boosting then your turbo is going / done.Check the plugs for oil too since that could cause it too.Just order the PCV from mitsu since any auto part start OEM is still not gonna work 100% still lets some air in, only OEM from mitsu actually works 100%.

Did you rewire the fuel pump or get a 190 walbro fuel pump? Could be a bad injector but maybe the amount of boost your pushing now the stock pump isn't feeding enough fuel consistently to keep it going.

Well on the axle the crown nut won't go on because the threading on the axle I somehow messed up a little on the end doing the wheel bearing... even using a block of wood...Anybody know what size rethreading die nut that is or best way to re thread it??Thanks for any help

Yea I got pronto from cee kay auto around my area, passenger side has been good for 2 years nows with it... just couldn't remember how the hell I did it..Edit:...Forgot... remove crown nut then gives you room to get to the 4 bolts.

I did the passenger side but for the life of me can't remember how I did it, any advice for this project?
