    Xfer case cover punctured

    420a at and the lower ball joint let loose ripping out the cv axel which in turn smacked the xfer case causing a leak. I have since replaced everything but my question is how to fill the xfer case. On an at idk, and if it's just trans fluid? I'd like to get it back on the road.

    Turbo 420A auto zone

    Is this your turbo? Perhaps identifying what turbo you have inside the 420a will help in narrowing your results.

    Left on the side of the road......

    With that being said I took it upon myself to check PVC valve, sensors, throttle body, vacuum leaks, plugs, wires, coil pack, and to no avail was still stumped. I was told perhaps the timing was off but didn't want to hear it n tried unplugging the o2 sensor. Bam, found it, replaced the o2...

    Tinted Windows suggestion

    only problem I have with 5% all around is being in the boonies with no lighting around making turns, side windows are fairly dark....backing up is fine for me...taillights give enough illumination if somethings in the way.

    Left on the side of the road......

    you are right, visually we found the 2 but after giving the head to the machine shop the other 2 in cyl 2 were also bent. I went ahead and had them replace the 4 valves n seals, check it, and deck it. Got it back n threw it on with a new head gasket and head bolts. Since the shop took over a...

    1G timing belt broke at 75mph.

    I recently was between 60-65 mph on a 420a when the timing tension er gave out, that resulted in bending 2 valves.

    Coilover suggestions/reviews

    Looking to purchase a set of coilovers for my talon. I dont want a cheap kit that will destroy my suspension in a year, something that will last, something with alot of drop. Hopefully around the 800$ range.....Any suggestions?

    420a cold weather, cel flickering

    yes I know and was embarrassed to admit the weight and my lack of motivation, this endeavor is encouraging enough. I will be changing the oil to 5w30 syn n replacing coil pack if nothing else shows when getting my codes read later today.Plug gap, I cant recall.

    420a cold weather, cel flickering

    Ok ty for the replies, first off I am not boosted so that can be eliminated. I doubt it would be my rings just because my compressing has been so beautiful up until last time I checked which was right before winter. I didnt really know how to go about testing my coil pack with the multimeter so...

    420a cold weather, cel flickering

    wire swap did nothing, onto swapping a spark plug...Wish me inexpensive luck lolwell that was not the case, wire/plug swap did nothing....its always cyl 3.....so that leads me to believe replacing the coil pack will fix it ehh?

    420a cold weather, cel flickering

    420a cold weather, cel flickering

    Weather has been crazy here in Ohio to say the least. Sub zero temps. I had an issue a week ago with my power steering belt and had to swap it. Now this morning on my commute to work it was chugging, and as i got to work the cel was flickering. I thought it was oil weight and I checked...

    valve seal myself or someone else?

    Okay, so I have had a slow oil leak that has been burning off for months now. I have checked everything, and assumed it was a valve seal. I am getting great compression, so I did a leak down test and it leads me to believe yes it is a valve seal. It only smokes during idle around 1000 rpm's...

    Plasti Dip hood Problem

    Ive used cans on rims sprayer on cars. The backpack however dipyourcaf.com provides. Not worth it. Stick to the little sprayer n fill more frequently. Definately beautiful for being on a budget

    Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    98 talon idles at 800-1000rpm, but after warming up and idling for 2 min or so at a train or something it will begin to overheat. Did i mention its burning oil and smokes at low idle also? thinking leaky valve seal?

    Low RPM exhaust smoke...

    Yea that is what I was assuming too was going to be the problem, but before I pulled the head off for a valve job I wanted to trouble shoot things and see if I couldnt avoid doing so, and vuala. Using Lucas oil synthetic in the oil, lucas gas treatment in a full tank of gas, then sea foaming...

    Low RPM exhaust smoke...

    Okay, I added in some lucas oil treatment yesterday and drove it for about 50 miles. I was still noticing the low rpm smoke. So I decided to run the compression test, warmed it up for about 20 minutes, unhooked the spark and fuel and came up with 170 give or take a crossed the board telling me...
