man we all have so many idling problems with these cars :/ when mine started to do that I let it warm up then quickly took the battery out and removed the air intake house and took the isc motor out (without burning yourself like I did) and had a friend turn the key to on (engine NOT cranking...

everyone who just replied is correct. Ive only been posting for a while but I wanted to contribute a little. My car did the exact same thing as yours. Radio started to dim and I got those three dummy lights to dim on my dash (battery e brake coolant) and the car sounded horrible. Took the...

hey guys. I just wanted to put some info on here in case anyone out there on the web needs it. YES any top left motor mount from an automatic 2.0 fwd will fit a manual 2.0 fwd I went back to the junkyard and took some measurements before taking everything off and trying it out. The first pic is...

Ok so my car is a manual transmission N/t and my front left upper motor mount just went out. I went to u pull it and I could only find a 93 2.0 N/t automatic. Coming home and comparing the two I noticed the one from the automatic is a little different. You know where the rubber part of the mount...

sorry to respond to an old post guys, just wanted to say thanks for all your help. And you were right I was thinking of it way too much. My car is running way better and I'm getting more mpg. The only thing that took me a long time was setting the tension and the torque for the timing pulley...

Ah I see. Ok. I was just afraid that it was too tight and would burn the balance shaft belt with the engine on but now I see what you mean. Thanks pauley.

Now I'm nearly complete with my dsm, only thing is I am not to sure about the tensioner for the balance shaft. When this thing has tension applied and the bolt is tightened down and the belt on correctly, should you be able to move the tensioner with your hand? Like should it be able to spin...

Yeah IM the last one to mess with the timing and I had it a 5 degrees btdc. I called that mechanic and sent him the pics and he said there is no way he can determine he did it and that maybe i took the belt off. Last time im going to that place. Thanks guys, ill update if anything comes up

SHOOT I FORGOT ONE MORE THING. When I finally get everything back on and all the marks are aligned how they should be do I have to do anything to the cam angle sensor? like do I have to re-time the car using the cam sensor and my timing light? or do I just have to start the car after everything...

ok guys im going to head outside to start turning my engine so you can see what my cam gears are doing. I was thinking about this all night and i think I'm still going to need some guidance after I align the bottom marks. I didnt notice this problem until I took everything off since I wasnt the...

sweet guys. thanks for all the help. Im going to start on this thing first thing tomorrow morning

ok I'm just trying to understand a bit more, when i get the belt to the intake cam do I advance it one tooth up or down? I cant just align all the marks with the belt? Im just trying to understand the method your using. in the pictures i have the cam marks are aligned, so are you saying that...

yeah Im only getting 25 mpg on the freeway, and it does have a little loss of power but no back firing or anything like that. I just put all my tools away so i cant post up anymore pics but when I align the bottom marks the cam marks are off by one tooth. the left cam mark is up one tooth and...

Ok so I have everything off that I need to replace my timing belt, however the timing marks are not lining up correctly. I had the belt replaced by a mechanic before hand and the car does run good and sounds great and starts up quick. And YES I did turn the engine up to six times to get the...

Well I have read the other threads but my question involves a little more. Basically I have been getting ready and gathering info to replace the gasket on my front case on a 92 eclipse gs. Now I KNOW the timing belt has less than 10k on it because I had it replaced by a mechanic last tax...

sweet. thanks guys. Its hard to see the distance of the auto tensioner push rod and the tensioner arm with the drill bit technique so I'm going to release the lower front member with the engine support and hopefully be able to drop down the engine a little so I can see. I ordered all the...

I have looked at countless videos and forums and vfaq regarding this issue but none of them seem to have the answer to my one question. I understand all the steps in vfaq regarding the replacement of the timing belt except for ONE step which is step #33. Now it states "SLOWLY rotate the...

thank you mischif. My reason for doing this is to replace the front case gasket and seals. I'm not eliminating the balance shafts. I just don't want them to come out with the case when I finally go to pull it off. I know how to easily remove the oil pump sprocket but it was just that stupid...

I'm sorry guys I know that this has been asked but I cant find the right answer for me. I went to u pull and pay to practice on a 91 Plymouth laser 6 bolt on removing my front case before I tried on mine. Had everything off except castle plug (which i'm going to buy the tool for) and that...

yeahi think im going to do the jb weld thing. You just really put my mind at ease. and YES it only leaks like nuts when the engine is running. Ive had this car for 3 years and have done all the work on it myself. Ill definitely do that once I get the alternator off so I can get a better hold...

I have a 92 eclipse 2.0 non turbo. The oil leak is coming from the block parallel to the timing cover below the coolant line. just above the alternator bracket. Its been there for a while and I'm sure its not the head gasket as I don't have any heating problems, smoke, or water in the oil. At...
