I'm trying to find information on the interior trim clips. NOT THE DOOR CLIPS OR PUSH CLIPS. I've dug around online and on all the main retailers that sell oem clips and stuff but the only things I can seem to find are the door clips. Looking for the ones for the rear speaker cover plastics and...
Hey guys. So ive been having some real trouble with idle surge over the past month or 2. I followed terrys idle surge guide to a T and still had found nothing so I post this in hopes it may help someone... I had tried everything except a full fiav block off. IAC, TPS, wiring, etc... So finally i...
Sorry for the delay. I will try to post up a log of both the maf on startup and speed density on startup tonight. Didnt want to screw with the tune last night as I needed to drive it. Thank you guys!
Hey guys! Have a conundrum I cant seem to figure out. I just installed speed density plug and play bundle from ecmtuning and the car starts, idles really high (2500+rpm) for 10-15 seconds then slowly dies out... Giving throttle immediately kills it. Plugged the 2g maf back in and it runs and...
ok so I managed to find the problem with why the turn signals and brake lights werent working. Where the alt 80 amp fuse goes into the fuse block on the ground side of the fuse it goes to the alternator wires and a strip of metal running the length of the fuses. the metal strip had cracked and...
Was missing #1 So i used 4 guage to make one. Changed nothing. all others are present and accounted for. took a surface conditioning disk to all the connection spots as well as dielectric greased the contact points and still having the same issues
Yup I have the EECT900 and the fluke 88. They both read the same .50 on the strut tower nut. I walked away from it for a few hours today while testing it to work on a customers vehicle and went to return working on it and now i have good ground at MOST points on the chassis. the ground by the...
it is only the lighting harness that causes this short. with the fused connection and starter connection hooked up i get good ground everywhere. its only when i put the lighting ring on that it starts putting voltage through the chassis so i know my problem has to be somewhere in that harness...
Using a snap on power probe type device in conjunction with a fluke multimeter to verify my voltage readings. it will read voltage if you touch the negative lead to the negative battery terminal and the positive to the chassis at any point there is at least .5 volts showing on my fluke multimeter.
I started a thread about an idle surge issue I was having and while it is not resolved this has become a bigger problem. Started with me wondering why i had 4 - ways but no turn signal so i replaced the multi function switch. No go. Started doing some wire following and touched a ground with my...
Pulled out dash, console, seats, carpeting, both bumpers, and engine/trans/tcase. unplugged every single connector one at a time while power probing ground... Nothing! There is still voltage... Pulled both wiring harnesses apart completely and laid out. Nothing is bare, shorting, or corroded...
So I ended up sending the throttle body out to be rebuilt and have been doing some other restoration work to the car. (it started as a full resto/300-350hp daily project) Doing some electrical work I may have found a huge clue as to what may be causing all of my issues beyond boost leaks... The...
Well after messing with settings and soapy water I figured I'll try throwing more parts at it. Swapped my throttle body again to another used one with bad shaft seals and.... No surge... I'm going to send my tb out to be rebuilt. I would imagine it was the fiav since it had 0 boost leaks.
Wow thank you guys so much. I will go through these posts and try everything today after work. Thank you guys again! Trying to restore someone elses molestation...
I know this has been covered thousands of times on here but ive gone down the checklists and nothing really seems to be working...91 talon tsi awdHaveing really bad idle surge issues. Performed boost leak test and fixed leaks but it hasnt changed the idle a bit. Changed tps, isc, and even...
Wire brush them clean if you can, might be a tight spot then try and take em out, remember to use lots of penetrating oil/lubricant. Use heat as a last resort... If they strip (avoid at all costs) you can either try hammering an old 13mm you don't really care about on the head and try that but...
I am using the AWD flywheel. Tranny wouldn't mount with the FWD one like I said. Issue is resolved. Turns out that the starters were different for fwd and awd... I feel REALLY stupid.... Gonna drop in an awd starter and I might actually get somewhere haha. Thanks for all the info, as always you...
I was forced to use the original flywheel. the fwd one is bigger and i couldnt mount the tranny up with it on. you guys may be right about a wiring issue but it does work if i hook it up outside the car and ground it, then turn the key she spins right over. Once i put it back in the car i dont...
starter most definitely works outside of the car. Both cars are 91 5 speeds... Trigger wire(black and yellow small one) is hooked up. ive even tried jumping it with it installed and it wont turn whatsoever.
FWD and AWD plates are different but my main question is whats going on with my starter at this point. Not shimmed right.. wrong kind of starter.. etc.. But I appreciate the reply!
Hi guys, I've looked into the issue but nothing I've came across really anwered my question. Okay, little backstory. I'm doing a motor swap. Dropping a fwd 6 bolt motor into my 91 tsi awd. The fwd parts car came with 3 starters 2 of which don't work according to a bench test. So I installed the...
Hey guys.
Wondering if any of you might know whats up. See i've been leaking oil from where my turbo mounts to the manifold and i'm not completely sure whats up. I was thinking it might be the valve seals but wanted some more opinions before I went and replaced them. when I rev the engine blue...
fixed the trans the bracket where the shift linkage attached to the transmission was wobbly so i tightened up the nut some and shes right as rain. as far as boost leaks there are non that i have been able to find. Where is the injector resistor pack located on a 1g? I looked it up but I couldnt...
Well when I did the headgasket i ended up having to swap heads anyways. so I had to remove the CAS. I cant find any more vacuum lines to hook up or any spots where there might be a leak. There are a few square looking sensors unplugged all along the harness that werent plugged in before. i can't...
Okay i've posted on here with a few problems in the past few days. I havent gotten anywhere. Rough idle, Stumbles when not on boost, surging idle, smells so bad like burning gas it makes your eyes water. I unplug the maf and it idles smooth and stops missing. unless I free rev it. in which case...
Been having some real trouble with my car. Bunch of different stuff I cant even seem to diag. Broke down and took it to a mitsu dealer and they wouldnt even look at it so im on my own I guess. Anyone available?
Same problem for me guys. Idle surges anywhere from 500 to 1500 and misses and knocks like crazy. once it gets a load on the motor it evens itself out somewhat but still spits and sputters a lot until i get on boost. in boost it runs like no ones businesses...
I never knew that, I will have to try that out tomorrow. Never even heard of that kind of code reading. Thanks a lot guys. This should make my day a little easier.went out this morning and there was no code. it would start up and idle surge from abou 900 to 1200 and then it warm up and idle at...
I cant have them checked. No garage within 50 miles of me has an obd1 scanner anymore. Ive been to every autozone and garage I can think of and nothing. Not even the dealerships have any.
I thinking maybe the IC was maybe plugged or something so I wanted to see if there was any air at all being pushed through when it was cranked and it just kind of fired up. Ran really rough at idle though.
Howdy guys. Ive been having some trouble with my 91 and I just cant seem to pinpoint what the problem might be. The car wont even start unless I unhook the intake from the throttle elbow and if i hook it up it just runs rough and eventually quits. Even though the turbo is pushing air. I was...
As long as it looks repairable. Oddly enough I have access to a full cnc machine shop that does this kind of work. Free of charge for me at least. I just needed to know if it looked like it was beyond repairable. I did hear from a few guys that it might be able to be tig welded then machined...
Hey guys, I just recently got rid of my built 2g for something that I could upgrade on my own in my own time. I got a 91 Talon TSI AWD with minimal mods. Well a few days after I got the car it decided it was going to blow the head gasket. So i tore it down and started scraping gasket off and...
no cam angle sensor behind cam gear. problem? it only has the synchronizer.I beleive the squeal is from the alternator trying to draw a large amount of charge as the battery is a step above completely dead.I beleive the squeal is from the alternator trying to draw a large amount of charge as...
Would it still be able to run alright if i cant tune it. the injectors are not stock neither is the turbo or fuel pump. also the squeal is the alternator because my battery was just about dead at the time. Would a camshaft position sensor cause this problem? What it was doing before it got...
That's my problem though nearest AutoZone is 20 miles away and it is undriveable. I really wish I could show you guys a video to give you a more exact idea of what I'm dealing with.2g having problems - YouTubeThis is what happens if you can actually get it started while holding the...
I was actually considering getting dsmlink. I was wondering what is your guys' opinion on evoscan? 500 is a little steep right now compared to 25 bucks if its any bit of decent.
It can fire so i guess that means that it is getting adequate fuel pressure. When i did have it running I pulled the spark plug wires. It only made a difference on 2 and 3 cylinder. And there was a link error. Wouldnt even detect a vehicle, but no he didnt use a volt meter on the pins. Also...
Wow. Thanks for all the replies guys. i checked the plugs and they have no coolant on them. cleaned them off and put them back in. It is an OBD-2 but no garages scanner can even read anything on the car. im wondering if the ecu is bad. the data link connector fuse is fine so it should be able to...
