Thanks for all the replies fellas, I'll go ahead and close the gap a little and then install it and see how it idles then make any more needed adjustments.
Hey guys, I picked up a used s90 throttle body from a member on here a few days ago but I noticed the plate seemed slightly open. Before I go about messing with it or installing it the way it is, I wanted to quickly check with everybody to see what they thought. Thanks
The 1g cas simulates both your cam and crank sensor signals so if you're running the 1g Cas you can't also have the crank sensor plugged in. Did you rotate your engine to TDC before inserting the 1g CAS? Did you also make sure the 1g cas wasn't 180 degrees out? Those are both conditions that...
Just replaced both door handles on my eclipse GS over the weekend :| and this morning the passenger door handle on my talon broke after I lightly applied pressure trying to open the door lol needless to say, I need these
Change your crank sensor. It's on the back of the motor. I had the same/ similar issue and it plagued me for over a month then I changed my crank sensor and the issues were gone.
I recently replaced my IAC valve with the tan one and a month later the car randomly started surging so I can attest to the fact that those things are indeed finicky.
Another thing to check is your wiring. Specifically the wire going to the temp sensor on the Thermo housing. I dealt with an overheating issue before and after replacing a ton of things I stumbled across that wire and realized it was corroded and was barely clinging on so I cut it and added new...
Yeah bro eBay is gonna be your best bet for finding a short throw.. I bought one on eBay around 4 years ago and I'm still using it to this day and love it!
Man I wish the Philly regional forum was alive just like this one :( setting up meets and stuff. I just might have to start driving to Jersey to hang lol
Reminds me of some years ago when I went to look at a GSX that had been sitting a few months. I had owned a 97 RS, 99 GS and 98 Esi, but never a 4g63. I got there and immediately noticed that it looked really good cosmetically. Everything looked good.. paint, newer tires, brakes, no rips in the...
Just saw the IG post and I'm sad you're giving up on this project bro! This is by far the best build thread I've ever read in my life. In fact after having soo many problems with the DSM, I had decided to quit the game and move on to something else until I saw your build thread. It inspired me...
I got one. Bought it from a member on here around 2 months ago 175 shipped I was hoping to tune my gsx but it's still down and probably won't be running for another few months so I'm letting some stuff go and I'm willing to let it go as well..
Hey what's up guys, long story short over the last few months Ive been doing a 6 bolt swap and finally completed a few days ago. I bought a black top cas and RREs harness to simplify the swap but after completing everything she won't fire up for some reason! I set the cas to tdc cylinder #1 and...
Like the title states, I need help from any dsm wisemen within the area to get my car started. Over the past few months Ive been doing a 6 bolt swap and now it's complete but won't start. Ive gone over possible reasons why it's not starting in the forums but I can't seem to get the answers I...
Bro, when you hook up your tester it's a really bad idea to set it to straight to 20psi :nono:
The proper way to do it is to hook up the tester, remove the oil cap then start pressuring it at 5psi and slowly go from there
I Actually disabled my clutch switch awhile ago so I don't need the clutch to start the car. I'm gonna double check the fuses and relays and make sure they are all good. Do you have an explanation for the clicking/ticking sound when I put connect the battery? I posted a video of it.
I used the diagram you provided and everything checked out good.. I also made sure the plug synthetek suggested to check was plugged in but still nothing. Since the threads were merged I'm gonna quickly go over my problem again.
My stock 7 bolt in my 99gsx went on me a few months back and while...
The engine is not turning over at all. I can get to turn over and start by manually powering the starter but other than that it won't turn over. Also Ive checked all connections and they appear good
So I finally got some time today to work on the car. I went ahead and rotated the motor to TDC cylinder #1 and set the cas but I'm still getting no crank. I tried switching plug order still nothing. Also not sure if it matters but when I hook the positive battery terminal back on I get a weird...
One thing I can say though, if your budget is strictly 3500 then you might wanna wait til you save up more because regardless of what the previous owner says you should start with basic maintenance like oil change, brakes, trans fluid etc.. and these cars tend to break down a lot so most likely...
remember seeing a 2g eclipse along time ago and thought it looked and sounded awesome then watching tons of youTube videos of them and thinking I definitely want one! But when I did save up enough for one I bought a GS because I didn't know the differences haha after what seemed like every car...
Like the guy above said, the 3g gts or the 4g would be a good more reliable DD but since you specifically asked about the 1g and 2g models, I'm guessing you're just like the rest of us and love DSM's haha in that case they are both very reliable and will be good daily drivers. You could even get...
Well to answer your second question, reliability depends on a lot of factors one of them being how well you take care of the car and maintain it and also your actual plans for the car. Do you plan to keep it stock or mod it? If you plan to mod it and make serious power I'd go with the 1g or...
Yeah you can get a brand new key made at the Mitsubishi dealership by just giving them your vin number. And it only costs like 15 dollars or something like that
Yeah I'm getting spark because like I said earlier I can get it to fire by manually powering the starter but it won't start via ignition though. I'll take out the #1 spark plug tomorrow and set the motor to TDC and put the cas in again hopefully that's what's causing the no crank
I talked to someone earlier that said it could be the cas not being set up properly that's causing the crank problem. I didn't rotate the motor to TDC #1 cylinder when I put the cas in but would that cause a complete no start?
Ok so here's my story, my stock motor in my 1999 gsx decided to go on me one random day while driving down the highway but it didn't really come as a surprise because it had been showing crankwalk symptoms for a few months so I was already in money saving mode and was able to get a really good...
