might as well try and replace your wire harness also if your fuses aren't blown..

My wife is an advocate for breast cancer she is currently trying to put together a car show in support of breast cancer. Its 20 to enter and all the money will be donated towards the cause. Come out chill, show off ya whip, chill wit the models, eat some food and socialize.Come out to...

that clicking is the relay..either the relay is bad or its clicking and not producing an output. Test that relay first. if good then test associated parts before that relay. remember between the good and the bad lies the ugly. use your schematic.

troubleshooting that i learned in the Navy is between the good and the bad lies the ugly. battery is good and alternator is good more than likely not the problem either trace flow going before those two units or after units..troubleshoot. I would recommend troubleshooting the ECU. if you have a...

sounds like you've definitely shorted something as mentioned in the posts above check replace all fuses there not expensive and test your relays also.. for your head lights sounds live your switch has gone bad, from the arch/surge that was created. sounds similar to what happened with my Honda...

that is true...thats the route i was thinking about going

so finding another motor it is..thanks guys..issue resolved...im still mad though..lol

ok so rebuilding the motor is out of the question..now my next one is should i just buy that car that is untitled for 600(possibly less when i talk him down). it has 170k miles on it. my engine had 175k..im going to try and test drive it friday as i dont have classes then

i somewhat have another car drive..i say somewhat due to the fact that its my wife's truck and she uses it to get to work and take the kids to and from school. ive been bumming a ride to work with a co-worker). My car was/is a daily driver and yes im trying to get it back on the road ASAP. the...

Ok threw a rod a couple of weeks ago. Im wondering if i should just buy a new engine completely or just build my bottom end over. which would be cheaper? some engines ive found in my area are priced around 600-800 on average. also a guy in my area is selling a 95 rs for 600 no title. i was...

ok, question answered i will fab up a CAI when i drop my turbo..( or should i take baby steps and drop by engine) in my car...lol..thanks guys

correct no MAF, and yes just Fabbing from the opposite side. just want to know can i do it..( like if i do it will i hose something up)

to me sounds like when everything surged you shorted some things out. I would start with the ECU and troubleshoot that first. If thats good atleast you know you get to save a little bit of money and not buy another one..lol. Also im already assuming that you've checked ALL your fuses. sounds...

probably should of just cleared this up in my OP (sorry). i just wanted to do it to say that ive done it..i threw a rod a couple weeks ago, before i get my engine put in im planning on running turbo on my 420A with stock internals. I just seen that alot of people run a short ram intake off their...

count me in also...we should all try and exchange contacts one way or another

searched the thread could not find any answers to my question...so i've noticed that a lot of people run a short ram intake off their turbo. now my question is if i was to Fab a CAI would it be wise and or would i gain any performance from doing that?

so once again dont use the under drive pulley then?

so in other words dont worry about the under drive pulley

Alright this is a REALLY dumb question more asking for clarification..but i plan on running turbo on my 420A with stock internals..would i be able to use an under drive pulley while doing that? Also does the under drive pulley take place of the tensioner pulley? or are those two separate pulleys?

land o lakes/tampa fl whos all here?

i wasnt going to do the port and polish myself...lol..as you can tell by my questions i am a super noob when it comes to this stuff..so what exactly is gasket head matching and what would that cost?

if i was to get my valves 3 angled cut, what i also have to get a port and polish or any other type of head work done? would it be a waste of money to just get my valves cut without any head work done. im planning on turboing my 420A on stock internals, just want to squeeze a little extra power...

Ok..so after many, many, threads i have came to a point where im going to run turbo on my stock 420A, i have read many posts on what parts are needed, for the turbo set up. my next question is what type of clutch would i use to run turbo on a stock 420A im talking 8psi, no more no less.....ive...

check your power steering fluid, this same thing happened to my wifes Lincoln LS, and it happened to my eclipse last month. It started whining real bad put some power steering fluid in and was good to go on both occasions. If your good on the fluid your power steering pump its about ready to go...

Check your IAC or ISC as some people call them. It might be super dirty with carbon deposits. Mine used to do the same thing till i cleaned it off with some carburetor cleaner and a rag. Its located on your TB(throttle body) if you dont know

it was the GS spyder...so no go on that. well guess ill just stick to the 420A build then...thanks for all you guys help

so did some searching and i found this guy in my area that wants to sell his eclipse for 600. has the 2.4l in it. would i be able to do the swap from the 420A to the 2.4 and i was just going to use the car as a pig and rob parts then send to the junk yard..would this be a wise move?

Thats understandable, i was asking more in reference to the fact that out of all my research i have been doing, ive read that "the engine i was asking about" had a tendency to crank walk more than others....thanks for NOT clarifying anything

Thanks guys guess ill just stick with the 420A and build upon that now..with what GSTurbo1 just said about the 420A not having crank walk...again this is me and my over researching which leads to being confused i thought it WAS the 420A that got the cases of crank walk..or am i confusing that...

Ok, last week i threw a rod going to work. choices are from what ive been told get a new car or get a new engine. Being the fact that i love my eclipse ive decided to get a new engine. Now here is my dilemma. Its either get a another stock 420A or go with an upgraded engine that will be easy to...

alright that tells me alot actually thanks guys i was already concerned about my fuel i notice that my car has been drinking alot of fuel for the distance that i drive. Im going to start with the plugs...,,and if i feel froggy enough ill probably jump and replace my fuel injectors..being that i...

out of curiosity what could be causing this " type a misfire"...bad O2 sensors perhaps?

im having problems shifting as well. from what ive asked of people that i know know a little bit about cars( basically have more knowledge than me) i would go to say that it is probably ## shifter cables. i went to check out my shifter cables the other day and noticed that one of the linkages is...

i will be sure to do that when i off from work and get home, ive pretty much made up my mind and just told myself that im going to be replacing a lot of parts a little at a time...that guy has yet to return my phone calls or emails and i doubt he will. thank you guys for ## help and advice

alright i have noticed also that i have an oil leak. it only seems to leak either while im driving (which i cant tell because im driving) or after ive parked the car. Came home from work and was just lookin up under the hood and i noticed that i was dripping oil. Put some moving paper up under...

previous owner told me that he dropped a turbo in the car but took it out to sell, i can really only go by word of mouth,, BUT, it does look like there were aftermarket downpipes added, plus a shoddy attempt at a short ram airfilter..i called the guy and left a voicemail asking if he could just...

it could possibly be..i would reccomend find the points (leads or wires) where your lamp fuse is coming off of, trace that back and see what you find

what exactly is setting your check engine light for knock?..i have never heard of this but i have nerver heard of a lot things just wondering i am going to ask him though

sounds like a plan to me

alright ill try that also, i did some research..something about me looking for and seeing if the clutch cables or shifter cables or something like that is either loose or to tight and trying to tighten or loosen them.

you might have shorted the starter when you replaced the fuse box..my suggestion would be to give the starter a couple of taps with a heavy mettalic object..preferably a hammer. have some one else turn the car over while your tapping the starter and see if that helps.

no and yes, i was thinking about replacing both the master and the slave cylinders. i doubt they have been replaced since the car is a 98 and like i said before the previous owner looks like he did some shoddy maintenance on it. my only problem to that is i really dont have the time for one...im...

the way i see it pretty much every fuse in your car is of somewhat necessity. but if you arent sure about something google is always ## bestfriend. If thats the problem it seems like you have a groud issue with that fuse circuit, it could be shorting to ground, or its shorting of your battery...

check ## ISC..i read a thread yesterday about the same issue..search the forum its on here somewhere...but check your idle speed controller (ISC)..from what ive gatherd about it its pretty much like a switch that talks with your ECU. it regulates the airflow thru your throttle body which in turn...

No pic as of yet..i will take some when i i get home..and thats what i figured that he did some shoddy work and i have to go back and correct the problems...well atleast try..thats expected when you buy a used car though so im not complaining about it just want know whats causing it....also you...

i can sort of tell there was a turbo in it...theres after market downpipes in it and also you can tell where the turbo was sitting in it....would my wires and associated parts cause the light to trip in that band range and gear?....

I have a 98 RS eclipse. I bought it from this guy for around 3k. Well from what he told me that that ive noticed is that he had a turbo in it which it took it out along with the intercooler. My problem is or rather my question is that when im driving i notice that my check engine lights starts...
