Hello everyone! After the new head gasket and head install, and new timing, I noticed that when i start the car it idles great and normal. i always let it heat up before i even move the car. Today on my first REAL test drive on the road i left the house and all was well. I started driving and...
Shit, I’m pretty sure I replaced one of those hoses and was skeptical because of the new hose I put on didn’t have the flex that I needed. Willing to bet that it’s pinched not letting enough flow and causing the issues you mentioned. Here are the photos to the best of my ability.
It looks like its coming from right under the housing for the thermostat but I’ll try and get a good picture. I can’t pinpoint where it’s at but I think it’s coolant because it only leaks when put under boost pressure. Once you hear it build a little bit you can hear a gurgling sounds and it...
Thanks a ton man!! Happy to be a part of the DSM community. I've been in and out of these cars for quite some time and always seem to gravitate back to them. Trying to chase down this weird oil leak I've been having right below the thermostat housing area.. At least i think its oil.
Got all the new parts for timing and gaskets and so fourth. Got the beautiful new head on and assembled. Almost done putting everything back and going to be doing a first start tmrw hopefully! I have a broken off exhaust bolt from the manifold to the hot side of the turbo housing. It sucks. But...
Got everything nice and ready for new parts. Got timing components and gaskets and such all on the way and should be in next week! Need to install rockers, lifters and cams in the new head and then we are good to go! Cant wait to listen to this thing run and move it under its own power!
Got the head off my new GST the other day, valves are bent sadly. Owner must've been driving when the tbelt snapped. Ill be looking for a complete good used head if someone has one for sale! Need new timing components as well, belts and pulleys. And need a new Drivers seat as the one that was in...
So I got everything put back together soundly, but I noticed next to my turbo a little cylinder with a knob on it that says boost. Now when I was grabbing at stuff I turned it then turned it again to read it, and let's just say I lost the original position. Now I'm sure that turns up and down...
I cannot find, no matter where I look, the gasket with two main holes and four bolt holes to the elbow output o2 housing. Goes from the turbo manifold to the housing. Helpppp.Scratch that. Found it on jnztuning.com
I ended up buying a new thermostat housing and all the hardware, should I get new lines while im at it? And if I get bigger hoses will it hurt something or help cool off quicker, or no effect?
Best place to get a turbo manifold gasket? May as well go high dollar. Got a temp sensor with the car not installed but the threads seem to go in rough and it looks a bit different from the old one. Prongs fit fine tho. :\ don't want to just crank it in there. Should I just go get another since...
Fuses are okay, guy also replaced the alternator before I bought it. Got receipts.
I noticed that when he installed the 3" exhaust he didnt put in a downstream o2 sensor.
Also when I get it started after it throws it's fit for awhile it bogs until I rev it out of it.
Smells like gas pretty...
I have a 97 talon 4wd. Bought it about a week ago in town.
The guy seemed to be a decent mechanic and knew his stuff.
I drove the car for awhile and one day it wouldn't start.
I'm getting fuel, getting spark, after awhile it will start.
Has some electrical problems, possibly a bad ground. No...
