Since you guys helped me so much on my last engine noise. How about this one. Sounds almost like a diesel at low RPMs and would die if i don't give it gas, before it warms to idle. Is fine over 1k rpms and when warm.
Engine started making this noise, now I'm not really sure where to go from here. Any help diagnosing would be great. Probably drop the oil pan shortly. Timing is on. Head components are new, new lifters that were bled.
2g auto tranny, 6 bolt engine. Kiggly kit used and installed correctly (double checked with kiggly with pics). My flex plate bolts were too long so I have cut them, but my torque converter doesn't slide out the 1/8-1/4 inch that it needs to meet the flex plate. I'm thinking about pulling...
I've gotten most everything figured out as far as wiring until I opened the TCU switch. I understand the green wire on the switch goes to a 12v source. (Why are there two 12V wires?) . Then the brown and yellow get me confused. Anyone know or have a diagram how these should be wired? I...
What would be reasoning behind changing a pilot bushing? Got a new engine built and I don't know if it's new or old. Got a new one but this one on there isn't budging. (Grease trick, bread trick, slide hammer all used). It actually looks really clean. Should I would about it or not?
Ok. Spyder gst to awd swap.Gst had charcoal and whatnot in the gas tank.New gas tank does not.Car runs but won't pass emissions. I've tried all the tricks.I bought a under battery charcoal canister system used. I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to hook everything up. (I know...
Doing an AWD swap on a spyder. 1998. Donor was a 1995. Anyone have the diagrams of all houses for both? Had a spare hose and what seemed to be a home for it, but it may be leaking and now I'm wondering if I hooked it up right. Emissions CEL. I'm changing ECU to a 95 today to see if that...
Anyone ever done this? There's a great write up on here. I was wondering if anyone in the area would want to get paid to do it. I don't have a welder or the space to do it, but I could pay someone.
I have some extra 2G parts in the garage. New alternator, some axles, a fuel rail, maybe a pressure reg. Looking to get rid of asap. I also have a service manual.
Any idea what these are and where they go? In the engine bay, left of engine pretty deep down in there. (Hate getting someone else's crappy project!) You can see I've been working on this a couple years.Cam Shaft Position Sensor?
I'm parting out my 95 GSX. Have tranny, possibly engine, have a couple extra blocks, extra head. Axles, Torque converter, etc.... Let me know if you're interested.
So I was having an oil pressure problem so i pulled the oil pan. Saw this spring on the tranny side just hanging. Can't imagine that's good. What is it? does it have anything to do with my oil pressure problem (low)?
Seeing if anyone might be interested in inheriting my project. I have a 97 gsx that I had running last year. It needs the engine pulled because I think the person that had it before me messed up the balance shaft delete. Also was going to throw an new oil pump on. It's an automatic. I...
Heavy part out here. The car has no title (I will sell whole if you want it). Not totally complete as I used it for a parts car. But it has engine and transmission and lots of extras. Anyone need stock parts?
So I got this project from someone else and it's looking very poorly done. Just pulled the oil pan (low oil pressure) and the oil pickup tube filter had grey paint (my guess) on it. There were a few shards of metal in the pan as well.I have a bad feeling that possibly I got the car in...
I'm trying to find this connector for the oil pressure sending unit. Wrapping the wire (for testing purposes only) won't work. Anyone know?(First pic in this post)

Anyone know reasons that my pressure would drop when reving in the driveway? Same happens when driving and you press the gas. Don't want to damage the motor, so I haven't drive much at all. A couple houses maybe.
I cannot get my car to start without turning it over 8-10 times. Then it runs SUPER poor. I have to get on the gas to keep it running. The throttle is slow to react. 6-bolt swap i picked up in the middle of the project. Fuel pressure is normal. It could be bad gas. I put some octane boost in and...

I'm stumped here guys. From the rear of the block, I'm spraying oil. Moving from drivers side in, its coming from the first hole inside of the ac compressor mount holes, lowest part of block. Looked on my parts car, and there's nothing in it. Looked at two other blocks and the same. This...
Well, with a lot of help from you guys, the project eclipse started today. But makes a weird noise. Doesn't sound as tinny in person. Actually sounded more like air. Help. Only ran for about 15 sec...
So I have half of the axle stuck in the transmission. I tried prying on it, but nothing. I read something about hammering a screw driver into the axle, but it didn't describe much about this. I have a new axle to put in and this one is trash. HELP.
Not sure if it's a security system problem or something else. I do have this posted in the Newbie forum, but curious if there are any local DSMers that could help me out. Turn the key to on, all is fine... Turn to start and everything shuts off. Back to on and accessories are on again...
Picked up someone else's project. Turn the key and it'll work with acc, and on. When I go to start it to see if it turns over, all power is gone. I'm thinking starter. But if the starter isnt hooked up correctly, would I lose power?
How many quarts will it take until I see the oil in the Cam area? I'm on like 5 and a half and I see nothing. Worried I may be pumping into places I don't want it going!
I have a 97 GSX I am trying to install axles (front) on. They were removed when I got the vehicle. Anyone have pics of what i need to remove to get the hub assembly out of the way so I can install the axles? I think tie rod and knuckle? but not sure if I'm removing the correct bolts. Any...
This could be my last question before priming the engine! I have three wires hanging by the oil pump/cooler. Solid yellow, yellow with a small red stripe, and blue with white stripe. I know where two wires are to be attached... Don't know which ones and what about the third?
I searched... And searched, and searched some more. The only oil/coolant diagram I've seen are 1g non turbo. I'm trying to finish throwing the 6 bolt back together. I'm using a 1g therm housing with a 1g oil pump... I've gpotten a few hooked up, but others I'm completely confused on...
Fixing someone's gut/engine swap... Center console had a cutout in theblack tray with these three plugs. Thought maybe was for ecu, but its not. What am I missing?
Anyone in the Denver area familiar with tuning? I'm going to need a decent tune soon and I'd love to dish the 500-1000 for the ability to do it myself, but I can't.
I have a 95 GSX and a 97 GSX wiring. What color wires (or different plug) go to the coolant overflow on the 97? Are they different from the 95? I cannot find the same plug or wires on the 97 that are on the 95.
Anyone in the Denver area with a 2g that wants to let me look under their hood so I can dicipher what the PO of my new '97 Eclipse did with the electrical when the new engine was put in the car? I have food and beer. lolPics soon.
Well, I'm jumping into the fire willingly of tuners. I currently have a 95 Saturn SC2, 84 F-150, 00 Cadillac Escalade, and a 50 Plymouth that I work on... Constantly it seems. :) Haven't been to a repair shop in 5 years.That being said, I traded a '94 Explorer with 200k miles for this...
