I Agree all the above are good responses. I have heard these stock blocks are prone to cylinder wall damage. So with that in question I would have to ask these questions.Thanks for the responses.

I found a 1991 2.0 16v engine out of a plymouth laser turbo. What should I look for? How much should one pay for a running engine? The Plymouth is getting parted out?

The Codes are in the Tech Forums I found it the other day and it really helped out alot.I used a DVOM with a continuity buzzer on it. Counting the Tones will get you where you need to be.Looking for an OHM's resistance table for the sensors currently.

There is a great Tech Forum post on what the PIN outs are on the 1G ECU but I am looking for the Actual OHM's Resitance specifications for each pin. Since no one sells and or hard to find OBD1 Scanner I am having to do this via my DVOM.So does any one have the OHM resistance test spec's for...

I Have an ECU out of a 1991 Laser and it is doing the same thing MD165529. It falls flat on its face also. And my earlier post I had loose Tubing. I opened up the 1991 ECU and it has blown capacitors but still starts and runs but has throtle loss at 4kRPM. Have you opened up your ECU if...

Seafoam Really cleaned out my Engine. Even after I replaced the oil it still was cleaning. I have to change the oil again do not put your racing oil in until you know it is really cleaned out. Just wasted $60.00 on Royal Purple and the oil is now dark again. So run non exspensive oil in it...

I repair on my own a sever control arm and cv joint failure. I had to rebuild the whole front end control arms, drive shafts and now that i have it back together I have to put new hub bearings in so I have to tear in all back down again.Good luck.

I agree. Non Turbo engines can wear out sooner if turbo'ed Also there are different sensors that my not match up to connections that one engine has the the other one might not have.Hope that with luck and good engineering skills anything can happen.

Thank goodness there are forums like this for our project cars. I hope that does not happen to me in the future. I would clean out the entire engine and turbo like suggested.2.0's do not like debris in any shape or form.

1G Pully bolts have to match Power steering pump especially. I cold not find my original and went out to match it. It has to be a specifc length or it will never be tight enough. Luckly I found a 1991 Plymouth Laser and it matched.

Look for rust under the car. The outside may be prestine but you will soon find out working your DSM 1G especially Talons. No matter what heat blow torche or impact wrenches you use you will always have to metal sawsaw them and have to find the right bolts to match your repairs.

Turbo Vehicles:High RPM Engines especially engine that are equiped with Turbo's need High viscocity.Even though the Egnine recommend a certain weight I recommend 20/50 in all my racing and high RPM eninges.Use Synthetic 20/50 by "Royal Purple" or "Lucas Oil". If you use the OEM...
