I've read a few threads and looked at a bunch of pictures. They were pretty straight forward and easy to follow but now I've run into some issues. My car has 2 computers because of the automatic trans that I swapped to manual. The speed sensor was wired into the automatic TCU as that forum had...
So to begin, I've decided to clean up my bay and remove parts that serve no use to me. I plan to do a turbo 420A build in the future too. I'm also planning to do a wire tuck while I'm at it. So far I've removed A/C, Power Steering, and Cruise Control. Along the way I've run into these two lines...
420A. So after I pulled the engine and transmission, put it all back together and started to have idling issues. No code at first. So I started the car and pulled the IAC Motor plug. Ran the same. Then plugged it back in and it threw a code. P0505. Took the IAC Motor out. Tested it. It's good...
So I had a problem with my speedometer. The part inside the trans slipped off. So we took the whole engine and trans out, took the trans apart, fixed the speedometer part. Upon putting it back in everything was smooth. Started it up and it had all its gears but its hard to shift into 1st, 3rd...
So I know what's up with the speedometer and why it's not working. I know what the inside of the trans looks like too. The speedo gear slipped out of its notchs, to avoid this again, is there any substance I can use to hold it in place so it doesn't slip off again after I fix it? I know trans...
So yesterday I had gone ahead and moved my outter tie rod ends inward to correct a bit of + Toe. Part of my tire was wearing fast because it ran on the outer tread. Afterwards I took it for a test drive and there was a grinding noise that worsened on left turns. Upon further inspection I found...
So at first I thought it would be my valve cover leaking because that was the highest point of oil. I tightened the. Bolted down some more and it stopped. But oil still drips. I couldn't get a good idea of where so I jacked it up and started it. Went underneath and I see oil building up where...
So I started my car after it sitting for almost a week and noticed a small ticking noise coming from the timing side of the engine. The belt was loose and we found a bad tensioner. We got an original stock on which was longer by a couple mm and installed it. Belt is tight now but I still hear...
Okay, so I've been sanding my car and preparing it for paint and figured I would run the car since it sits in the garage and it's been almost a week. So I start the vehicle and found smoke coming out of the exhaust. It's been 20° here so I didn't think anything of it but then there's this smell...
So here is a photo of my driver side side-skirt. My passenger side is about the same in terms of chipping. I finally got the car running and now that I'm looking at body work, Im trying to figure out if its best to just fill this in or if there's a way to even it out. Any ideas are appreciated...
So I've looked at pictures on Google, searched some forums and still can't seem to understand any of it. My car runs again and almost beautifully. It throws two codes (P0505 & P0113) idle air control sensor and intake air temp sensor. If anyone knows the locations it would help a lot. Thank you...
So my friend and I went out to an auto-salvage yard and found a new head with valves that were good (I bent mine), only we have had some winter weather here. When we pulled the head there was some ice in the intake port on the 1st cylinder. It was frozen in the head. So we laid it sideways in...
So this is my 5th head gasket I'm going through this year. I believe there is something that I'm doing wrong. So far we've tried just a normal head gasket and we've tried putting a very thin bead of Red High Temp RTV and then laying the gasket on top. That seemed to have worked the best but then...
I have a 1995 Eagle Talon ESi. It has the 420a engine in it and it keeps giving me problems. It's front wheel drive 5speed. I'm sick of the 420a and really don't wanna go the 4g63 route. But I heard the neon shares the same 420a. But they also have the SRT 4. Would I be able to build a SRT 4...
I did the 2gnt automatic to 5 speed swap, and it was successful before my car started giving me more problems. But I would like to know if I got a manual harness would it hook right up to the sensors I have now? And if not, which ones I would have to replace? When I did the swap it had me splice...
So my brother and I had a timing issues that caused my car to be immobilized. We fixed the timing issue and even replaced the head gasket but now a lot of new issues have risen. My rpms fluctuate between 900-1200 and when you give it gas it'll get to 2000 and then jump around really fast up...
My timing belt is sliding off the cam gears towards the valve cover. This happened before and it shredded the belt and made it come off and get stuck. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
I was driving down the highway with my brother the other day when my car shut itself down on me. I pulled off the highway to the shoulder only to see that the timing belt tensioner bolt backed itself out and ground itself down and caused my belt to get stuck behind a pulley. We redid the timing...
I believe my block is leaking oil and fast. Everywhere I go there would be a puddle left on the ground it two spots but I could never find where it was coming from. I would put a quart of oil in every other day and it just kept losing oil. I wouldn't know where to begin looking. When I look in...
So does anyone know what could be causing this issue? The hazard fuse in my engine bay (when plugged in) keeps all of my interior and tail lights on even without the key. Now if I take the fuse out all the lights work properly but I don't have any hazards or turn signals. What could be causing...
So this is the one thing that got me good. I believe my Talon is back in Limp Mode. This was the original state I bought the car in and the Limp Mode actually blew a hole in my block from pressure build up while driving it home. From that point my brother and I have rebuilt another engine and...
I noticed that my reverse lights don't work. I have read some other threads and most of them tell me that it could be a switch on the transmission. I'm assuming the switch would be one of the 4 sensors on my transmission. It's an automatic A604/41TE. The top two are speed sensors for input and...
So just the other day I get my car to start. It ran fine, no awkward sounds. Next day I go to start it up and the fuel pump won't engage. The car itself still tries to crank over but its not getting any gas. I replaced the Fuel Pump Relay on the firewall and still nothing when turned to the on...
My brother and I rebuilt a 420a 2g 1995 eagle talon esi n/t engine with an automatic transmission. After the initial break-in we left the car dormant for the night. The next morning (before we tried starting it again) we did an oil change to remove any metal shavings from the break-in. While...
