soap and water? cause bubble to occur so i see the leak? i would def break something if i did that or just straight up burn the car to the ground. but i am going to be getting the bolts soon. i think my engine was stalling because my balance shaft belt broke and started wrapping around my timing...
i found out why my belt got eaten, my balance shaft belt decided to crap out and break. it forced my timing belt around until it would snap. thanks for letting me know that you got parts. i do live down the street from the owner of dsmpartout.com so if he doesnt have anything i would be glad to...
it makes a wierd sound around the intake manifold. i have to give the car little bit of gas to keep it from stalling but i did forget 2 bolts for the manifold. could that cause it to leak and make a high pitch sound?
ok, thanks. btw, i got my car to chug, runs rough and i think my manifold is cracked. maybe you might know but what would cause a timing belt to get eaten on one side. it seems to have slid to the side a little too much and rubbed too much. it is destroyed, not my engine though but i will be...
ok, after several months of playing around and trying to figure out how it all goes. it is finally put together and will run on its own. with that said, i had the car running for about 30 seconds and when i give it gas so it does not die, due to old fuel going through the system, it makes a...
u8ntrdy, did you view the images i uploaded. i couldnt get them to post in this thread. ill try one more time tonight to get them posted.image wont load, if you want to see photos. please see the ones i uploaded, i only have 3
haha, ill post some pics. im sure some may cry, as for the previous owner or person who worked on this, i dont think they should ever touch a car again. the OBD interface is just sitting on the floor now because the wires that run to it i can not find. are they on the left side of the steering...
ok, after a long and grueling rebuild i came to the conclusion that i had done something wrong to make the engine not want to start. after that i went hunting through out the car and found out that someone had put in an alarm system and hacked into my female connector that allows someone to test...
i will look into the cam gears and see if i put them on backwards, but im sure the gears cant be. they are identical to each other. i also checked the cas to make sure the mark was correct and it is on correctly. i will look into the thread for the no start but if anyon has any other opinions as...
i dont think i have air, i had my dad put his hand in front of the throttle body while it was cranking and he said it was not pulling any air, timing is corrct. and there is spark
i have just finished building my car and it seems to not want to start. It is getting fuel, the spark plugs are sparking, but i didnt know if the intake should be getting air while the car is turning over. i took off the intake piping from the throttle body and it does not seem to be pulling air...
well, it turns out the pump runs. what could now be the issue to my car not starting? im going to flip the cas 180*, but if that does not fix it what will? i have seen the no start guide but i havent seen anything that catches my eye to be a fix.
this is from roadraceengineering.comAn easy way to trigger the relay is to use the fuel pump check connector located on the wiring harness that runs along the firewall. You will see a single black connector that is taped to the wire harness near the battery. This connector gets power when...
thanks, ill have to try it. also thumbs up for the quick and accurate responses.also, would this tell me if i need to replace the pump if i run a new wire to it and it still does not turn on.
ok, well i have currently finished building my car and timing is correct, new plugs and wires put on and when i went to turn on the car it only turns over. i pulled out a spark plug and it smells like fuel so i dried it off and tried turning the car over again and nothing happened. so now i...
I had just found out that my ecu was broken so i had it fixed by ecmtuning.com. Now i get spark and it smells like fuel in the engine bay after i try to start the car a few times. i thought maybe i had the cas backwards but i did the rotation of the inside piece and still the engine will not...
so i found out that my ecu has had a capacitor leak. it has damaged part of my board and i was going to use a 94 ecu. what wires will i need to swap or hook up. i was told switch pin 14 and 6, is there anything else i have to do. also all parts in my 90 talon are for 90, no other year parts are...
ok, i think i have found the culprit. the ecu looks to be damaged after a closer look. it has a faint smell of capacitor acid so i will be sending it out to ecmtuning, or some company like that. i saw it in other posts from dsm wiseman and others of that sort so i assume it would be a reliable...
ok, as for the info i know about the car and my speculations, it was bought by someone else with the intentions of taking a talon tsi and installing all of the pieces from one car to another. the tachometer does not include a boost gauge, so i installed one. i tapped into the fpr line from the...
i checked the cas wire to the harness, it is connected. but i replaced the mpi relay with a working one ( the little box by the computer) also there still seems to be no power to the cas. what might be the issue? is the computer the thing to blame?
I was having issues with the cas not receiving power, but i found out that if i hook the cas to a power source and not the harness it works and allows the coil pack to receive power and the spark plugs now spark. is there a test to see if there is a signal being sent back from the cas to the...
ok, so since i got the wires correct, could i use a test light and put it in the male connector for the red wire and the negative from the test light to the battery to see if there is an electric current when i turn the car on?Could I run a wire from a 12v source to the cas instead of using...
i took the ecu out of the car and there was no signs of it being destroyed. there was no smells or any part of the circuit board showing signs of it being destroyed. is there a test that i can do to test for power going to the cas. also if the key is turned to the on position, would the cas...
i currently do not have any spark coming from my plugs, my coil pack is good, but on the cas is there a 12v power source that i could test to verify that the cas is receiving power?
yes i pulled the wires from the engine. and i had someone else check to see if there was a spark. there seems to be no power to the coil pack, where would i look now for an issue? i did check the ecu, no fishy smells or anything look wrong. no acid anywhere on the boardanyone else have any...
I just got done building my engine from the shop manual. everything is done to factory spec. the car is stock and it seems to not be firing. i checked on the forums on the firing sequence( the spark plugs and spark plug wires are lined up correctly i think. could someone post a link to a well...
I have a stock 1990 talon tsi and I bought a91 gst water pump pulley set(alt. And pwr steering)
The alternator belt looks almost straight, could be my eyes but should those parts work for my car?
thanks for the info on the parts and how to access the area. turns out that the engine was sagging too low and that if it was in the right position it was easier to get to the bolts and install the motor mount. also the parts you showed me were for a 2g but the bolts do match for the pump...
thanks for the quick replies, i bought y car in pieces from someone. i am currently almost done with the build but the hardware and motor mount bolts are missing.
thanks for the info, would anyone know the sizes to these bolts so i can pick up the hardware. also for the motor mount, would mitsubishi still have an oem bolt that runs through the motor mount on the drivers side?
I noticed that when building my car that the water pump was missing the pulleys. i received the pulleys and now noticed when i was seeing where they go that i do not have enough room to get a socket to tighten the bolts. can someone help or direct me to a page that explains how to install...
Be careful, i was looking at cars in my area and i had found a car that interested me, the dealer told me the car was like new 65k miles on it and he wanted 8k for it. i told the guy i would come back in a few days and let him know if i still wanted the car. ( the interior was falling apart and...
