So, I found what the problem was......I put read the fluid capacity wrong and put fluid in it instead of gear oil....overheated the tranny and boom....lol talk about a noob.

Does that intale taking the transmission out of the car?

I just checked, the nut is tight..pulled the end cover off, its tight, I even tried tightening it some more. its got some "ears" on it that keep it from loosening up. Ive re-done the linkage a couiple of times now. Still nothing.Driving down the road, popped out of 5th. I put it back in...

Im beginning to think thats what happend to the trans before this. 5th gear went first and I would just hold it in gear. Then all of a suddent the trans locked up. Thought it was the synchros but when I took the trans off, the shaft could be wobbled back and forth. I will def take the back off...

The shifter would move slightly and then when I would hit the gas, pop. Come right out. I would assume thats what you are getting at?

Ok, so the stock trans done blowed up. Went and got a used one for $250 with a 30 day warranty a couple weeks ago. I put a new clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing and slave cylindar on while putting in the "new" used tranny. Well it had been running fine, would stay in gear, no issues at...

So I was driving the other day and the car jammed into fith gear. I knew the syncronizers were starting to go bad because it would pop out of gear in 4th and 5th. So since it jammed into gear, I pulled the transmission yesterday. When I pulled the trans I drained all the fluid and it was all...

Ok...possibly have narrowed it down....today I went out and checked it over again. I am getting verry little weak spark at times to flat out nothing, so basically, no spark....the #6 pin on the 6-pin connector is getting 0v now. It stays at 0V when cranking...that pin is connected to the mfi/mpi...

Well thats 2 distributors now tho that have basically been cooked. Something is making them get really hot. I have all the correct voltage to it I believe. Pin#6 on the 6in connector changes from 0v to around 11V when cranking and then back to 0V when I stop cranking the engine...Swapped the...

Just changed the oil in it like 6 attempts ago...I wonder if the ECU is sending too many volts to the distributor and making it get hot and making the crank sensor kick off on it?

So today was messing around a bit with the car. I pulled a spark plug out, crank the car over and the car started to backfire....I was like ok??? pulled the exhaust manifold off, car was backfiring....took the spark plug wires, just for giggles, I sawpped 1 and 4 and 2 and 3....thing started...

Im thinking that now as well. The new plugs I got keep coming out soaked with fuel...the mpi/mfi(whatever you want to call it) may have taken a crap as well...I did the test that alldata says to do to test it and its reading like 150-170 ohms on pins 2/5 and pins 3/5 when I have pin 6 grounded...

Ive checked the timing a millions times...its gotta be right...what I did notice today is that now the plugs are fouling out and the oil in the car smells like gas now....Im wondering if its now getting too much gas....I checked the MFI relay for resistance according to Alldata today and the...

The one thing that I am kinda confused on is that im not sure if Pin #6 on the 6 pin plug that goes to the distributor is funtioning correctly....It goes from 0V with power on to almost 12V when Im cranking the car and back to 0V when I stop cranking the car....should that be pulsing?

Yes, I am getting spark to all four. Grounded them on the head and had the neighbor crank it over. Nice blue spark. No orange.Whats the cam sensor look like? Stupid ? i know but I never looked ### I always thought it was part of the distributor, just like the crank sensor is....:ohdamn...

Goofy question but where is the cam sensor?I thought that was in the distributor?

I just put a brand new distributor on it today because I thought that exact same thing. Its getting spark tho. I took the plugs out, grounded them on the head and cranked the motor over and could see spark. Did it by hand at first and got a weak spark and then had the neighbor do it and it was a...

The spark plugs are brand new. The plug wires are like 6 months old. I pull the plugs and ground the plug and its a blue spark. Its getting spark. Thing is, the plugs are wet when I pull them out.

Hey guys! New here to the forum. Been trying to figure out whats wrong with my car.I have a 94 eclipse base model with the 1.8 4g37 engine.The other day, the linkage in the shifter was acting up, wouldnt go into 5 or R easily so i was just driving it back and forth in my driveway working...
