ya ive heard that i just went with replacement since everything is stock for now. Plan on building her up soon. Well time for the track see what i can muster out of her. lol

Okay so problem fixed the fuse did not look to be bad but was blown on the side of the fuse. 3 dollar fix with new fuse thank you for the replys.

the fuseable link in the top right still in contact and test out okay the only one i didnt replace is the alt relay that no one seems to have.getting charge from alternator fuses are good just not making it to battery. If running a power wire and put a fuse so do not mess anything up would it...

Okay so my hot wire on alternator grounded out and now with a new battery and new alternator belts fuses and relays and still will not charge the battery. Does anyone have a good diagram to rebuild system or is there something im over looking. Just trying to figure out a solution to get this car...

Its not off to much but while your there be much easier to just re time it for piece of mind and you want correct timing for smooth operation.

Glad i could help ya out.

Correct me if im wrong but you should be able to use the factory engine mounts with the bolts to safetly lift engine and keep it pretty balanced.

How to do a boost leak test - YouTube here is a video that shows everything should help you out for a boost tester without a tire stem valve. Hope this is what you needed

Ya it could its not engaging if your putting it into gear and letting the clutch out and car keeps running and goes now where. I would drain gear oil see what you come up with inspect the input shaft to rule it out or see if its damaged. Then if all that checks out take a look at the internal...

I wouldn't be surprised if you have damage or the clutch went out or Throw out bearing if not then I would check the gear oil for metal or any damages internally. I had a friend of mine that had a car that all of sudden did same thing and when I got into the tranny there was no material left on...

With a boost leak tester like that I would have a buddy help you if possible. From the you you tube videos Ive watched they have sprayed soap water around all the major possible leake spots and then pressurized system to 5psi over what there boost they will be running. The only one ive seen had...

Ya that guy is taking you for a ride by the time you get all done you could have bought a newer car. Theres no reason you should have had to pay for them to look at it also if there double checking there work they did. Most shops will diagnose and fix there own mistakes at no cost to the...

ya I liked the price and looks like it can be hidden pretty easy thanks for the feed back.

I like the look of this boost controller is it a good device to buy? or would you recommend it?

Also do that leak down testing if possible to see if your piston rings are properly gapped and sealing the way there suppose to if not will also give you the 0 compression reading along with what was said above timming and valve issues.And I agree with block and planning the head and block...

When you start the car and try to put it in gear does it just grind if so then its internal throw out bearing clutch plate you get the idea. I had a car that would go into gear bearly but wouldn't go more then 20mph and I did same checks the master cylinder the slave cylinder bled the air out of...

Ya I would re check timing before jumping into a tear down again but its something in that direction. Sucks if its something internal but weird stuff happends on rebuilds.

I could be wrong but whenever we got a 0 compression the cylinder is dead and since its freshly rebuilt sounds like the piston rings are not sealing on those cylinders. If head is fresh also I doubt its a valve problem more of a ring issue. From my experiences with 0 compression readings that...

Personally I would buy it back also for the fact that awd talons are getting harder and harder to find as the years go on.

It looks to be fixable for an affordable price but you will not know unless you can see if its still structurally sound frames not bent because insurance is going to total it our cars blue book around 500 dollars well that's what the dmv of Texas priced mine at for sales tax purposes obviously...

Yep none of us will give up on you we are all here to help. Just need to start somewhere and report back findings and we can go from there. If you want to start with clutch and move to timming to the head then I say go for it rule out things on the way to the root of the problem. It can be a...

Well there you go you have internal damage of some sort.

The longer spark plugs and them being damaged the car was not running perfect before you turned it off. I have personally have seen a car running with damaged spark plugs and its not pretty if enough damage was done they wouldn't spark properly so would have been way under powered. On another if...

I would have to agree sounds like bent valves on the intake side but sounds like it needs to go to a shop they will be able to get you where you need to be going.

Anything is possible but a kick start usually will free up the flywheel and if you push clutch in and it rolls without drag then the only other thing is to check the flywheel bolts if any are loose. If the flywheel is free and with tranny off of it try turning the motor manually should spin...

what is a concern is that something broke your spark plugs they just don't bust or get damaged from nothing and everything running like its suppose to. What did the old plugs look like that where busted can you post a pic of them I am betting like someone else has said some bent valves is the...

Mechanical DamageThis is caused by foreign objects in the combustion chamber or an improper plug reach where it contacts the piston. Even a piece of carbon can do this.To solve this, make sure you have the correct length tip spark plug as well as removing any foreign materials in the...

Glad we all could be a help because this is what we are all here for to learn from each other. I feel just by helping and watching your progress on rewiring a fuel pump thread I feel confident and learned something new thanks and keep up the good work.

Sounds like the air to fuel ratio is off. Usually carbon on plugs means running lean instead of rich. Sounds like its time to get it re tuned enless you know how to adjust everything yourself

hmm sounds like its getting to much fuel. have you tried to mess with the pressures some?i I guess its probally in the tune also which im new at with these cars. check the spark plugs if there soaked in gas your injectors are stayn open and just dumping gas into engine.Sorry didn't see the...

what else is done to your car regards to the fuel system? do you have bigger injectors fpr? is this car being tuned or is it just stock setup with bigger fuel pump? If everything is still stock regardless what the fuel pump is rated at it will keep same pressures and the same amount of fuel will...

I was referring back to the other post with the diagram and from what I can see from picture is the chassis ground in the middle the ground from the harness then the two power source wires the blue ones.

Did you try your local parts store I know autozone sells replacement lines and there not to expensive just need to buy or if you have one a pipe bender most replacements come in straight pieces with the flare nut already on there that's what I did when I got mine. found it also on oriellys says...

First off you have to put clean plugs in and make sure the battery has full power. I usually run it to the store and have it tested since your trying to eliminate any possible problems to get to the root of the problem. Then check is plug for correct spark look to see if its a good conductor and...

With these cars you should not have to push the gas to get car to start this will do nothing but foul your plugs out again since your first ones where fouled in gas. With older cars that have carbs instead of fuel injection you pump the pedal to get them to start. You may have flooded it again...

Ya I would bet anything that its in the drive train area since you can not get it to engage at all or very little. Ive seen this in manual trans and its the clutch but since its automatic then probably torq converter. I read you post sucks that all this happened in the mix of a sell. Hope all...

Ya that's why I like it on here also I can help a lot when it comes to most diagnostics or reading a schematic but I am learning a lot about the aftermarket game and how everything works with th ese cars since I work on normal cars everyday not so much the cars with mods. I will pm you if I need...

Okay makes sense I figured it was along them line. I have done stereo systems just didn't figure it applied to fuel pumps but I guess its a bigger deal when your pushing the limits. Thanks for the answer now you can have your thread back lol Glad everything is coming along for ya. Guess I will...

LOL no problem one question I see a lot of people rewiring there fuel pump whats the purpose of doing so. To me 12v system is a 12 volt system so is there really any purpose or gains for doing this to your car? I see tons of people doing so just didn't know if theres a reason. Oh and did you get...

The diagram shows the blue with black strip your power wire and the black wire as your ground wire.

Ya you will get good money for the car. especially if its mechanically sound. Good luck in finding you a good awd talon in good shape hope all works out.

That's sad your gonna sell it because its a fwd car you can still put some good power to the ground without it being awd. Its just harder to do. My talon is fwd and does just fine at the track hooks up well and gets down track everytime even beat an awd talon. If I had the money im sure your...

Ya last time I did a cv axle I had a buddy with me and we just put a pry bar on each side and pushed at same time came right out. Has to be even pressure thought. I had a hard time with one pry bar byself but like said before you have to find the sweet spot.

and don't pull the pully off because most stores will not take it as a core if its missing parts off it.

Ya just remove the bolts and the alternator will loosen up belt put new one on and put bolts back in till your belt is snug but not supper tight.

Sorry I miss understood your 14 lb I thought you were on the 14b turbo but ya 20 g can put out so I would go with a comp clutch a lot of people are using the act series clutches on here. Just depends on how you drive it and if your going to race it any. But you get what you pay for you go cheap...

For us using the 14b which isn't monster of turbo and not a having a huge hp in these motors I would personally stay with oem replacement parts till you get to the good stuff with big turbos and make huge power. But aftermarket parts depends on how there manufactures some company's are better...

Ya its cool I will take a look. I just received my certificate for automotives so I know a bunch but not everything since I haven't had all the experiences of working on different types of cars. I am going to do a build thread once my school money comes in and i can get the parts I want. I have...

From what your explaning your issue is I would say its the TOB also and while your in there why not change clutch just so you don't have to go back in and fix it later down the road. I watched youtube video of a guy that has same problem heard terrible noises and then pushed clutch in and gone...

That's not to bad you probally could get away with that usually you have problems after 2 inchs or more.
