    10 second street machine

    So finally have some money to work on this bad boy again. I've got the trans back in bought a radiator and cooling fans from DNA motoring, I've got my fmic piping, and I'm ready to go back at it.

    starts but not for long.

    Get a meter and see if the ASD relay is cutting out (automatic shutdown relay). if you can get a diagram posted on here I can show you to check for. I am just far too busy to look it up myself right now.

    Electrical Problem

    alright, i have two theorys here but I am not 100 percent what fuse you are indicating, is it the engine fuse or the ignition fusible link. Both are 30 amp. if its the engine fuse then possible causes are as follows; alternator, faulty fuel injector, faulty ignition coil, shorted O2 sensor...

    Electrical Problem

    ok, I'm going to pull up a wiring diagram for your car. It is defiately a dead short somewhere in your wiring, I might be able to help you isolate which wire is giving you problems. A quick question though, is it auto or manual trans? and does it have anti theft or not?And what fuse is it...

    engine rebuild

    it looks like BogusSVO has a good list going for ya. the only thing I would suggest different is to go ahead and replace the oil pump. Its too risky, I have had seemingly good pumps fail on me only after a few hundred miles :ohdamn:. You could look on Amazon.com or rock auto for some deal on...

    engine rebuild

    First off, is there any particular reson you need to rebuild the motor (like a rod knock) or do you simply want to freshen up the motor? If the latter is the case then you should consult the service manual so that have a list of engine specifcations and then measure everything. If it within...

    So whatever happened on this issue? Did you still need help?

    Starting issues - No / Doesn't / Won't Start - MERGED

    Yes it could be a bad sensor or a bad ground. I have attached the wiring diagrams for your car (hopefully I did it right). check out the wires for your cam sensor. If you need help let me know ( I work as a repair technician doing electrical diagnosis and repair ALL the time) and I might be...

    10 second street machine

    so the second thing I noticed wrong was the engine block ear was busted off. :banghead:. So I machined a piece of steel from work "somewhat" in the shape I needed and the proceeded to very carefully tack weld it in place using a nickel rod (would have done the whole thing but the steel was'nt...

    Starting issues - No / Doesn't / Won't Start - MERGED

    it sounds like you might need recheck the timing on your cam sensor. When you unplug it your PCM resorts back to a default fuel map so that it can "limp" home when there is a fault. It sounds like your injectors are either not firing or firing in the wrong order.

    10 second street machine

    Ok, so a little intro to myself. jtmcinder has asked about cars I have previously built. As far a building a car from scratch that I have owned none. Done work on others cars for other people, yes. As an automotive technican by trade I've done numerous mundane repairs but I have been...

    10 second street machine

    Whats going on all. Since i joined this forum because i recieved a FREE DSM I figure I'd make a journal of the project. the car was a basket case and was missing the trans and as I've tried to get it road worthy I have run accross all sorts of interesting stuff. And so it begins.*edit...

    98 eagle talon run problem?

    first thing I would do is find out what combustion element it is lacking when it dies. do do this you will need a bit of diagnostic equipment. As you said you had been a mechanic before some of this stuff should be familiar to you. Personally I usually start with spark. get a spark checker...

    tranny swap

    off of the top of my head you will need a new flywheel and clutch assembly, a master and slave cylinder and all of the lines for that, you will also need to install a clutch pedal, I am not sure if the CV axles are the same or not, you might want to see if the part numbers from the parts store...

    Starter engages but does not turn over

    A few more details and I'll try to help you sort out this mess. First of all is it an automatic or manual trans? and with or without anti-theft? And also by looking at your wiring diagram for your car I can see that your wiper issue is in NO WAY related to your ECU. I can help you with that...

    Intro

    hey, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to the world of DSM but not to the automotive world. I recently had someone GIVE me a 90 eclipse gsx and so i thought it would be worthwhile to pull from the vast world of DSM owners. A little about myself, I do engine component testing for Eaton...
