Car is a 1999 gst and has been running great for a while. About a month ago it threw a fit while I was driving it and wanted to cut fuel while under 30mph. I took it home, keeping my foot on the gas the whole time during stops to keep a 14.x:1 afr on the wideband, and started in on the normal...
I browsed around a bit first, sent emails to our sponsors and even caught some on Facebook messenger for live chat, but so far I haven't had my question answered. I have plans on rebuilding a 1990 6 bolt from a manual awd talon and placing it into my 1999 GST which is a fwd auto. The rebuilt...
I'm preparing to rebuild a 6 bolt and use it inside my 2g. So far the setups on Jackson Auto Machine are what I'm aiming for, the Stage 2 motor and Stage 3 head setups in particular. My only question left (so far after loads of research) is in regards to the differences of 8.5:1 and 9.1:1...
We just experienced a little piston ring failure on our 2g. (I think, not 100% sure) The car still runs, but is putting oil onto #4 spark plug. While driving around in the truck having a family meeting on the topic, we saw a gutted 1g on a trailer behind a shop. Talked to the owner & he said...
The P1103 is showing as the wastegate solenoid and the P1105 is coming up as the fuel pressure sensor. I was curious if the wastegate solenoid not working properly would cause fuel cut and cause the fuel sensor to trip? Also, some sites list the wastegate problem as being a sticky actuator. Is...
Haven't been on in a while, but in my defense the car has been running great. It still is, for once. On my latest maintenance check I did notice the new harmonic balancer is already separating badly. It's a stock balancer with maybe 5k miles on it. I have another stock balancer from an all stock...
We'e having a few problems with our car, mainly the turbo giving out (whistling with shaft play) and hunting a possible vacuum/boost leak. The car drives great, but it'll lose power (I'm assuming boost) at 4500-5000 rpms, buck, surge and never recover to push beyond that point. This is while...
We are going to pick up a '97 TSI in the next two weeks as a donor car for our '99 GST. Our GST is complete, running, driving and just needs a tune to finish it up. It isn't pretty, needs doors, tail lights, front fenders, headlight brackets, weather stripping, new paint and the frame looks like...
So, Antman isn't able to drive his car for a bit. Being a good wife I'll take it out & keep it limber. I'd like to say right now that I've Never driven a turbo car before, but I do have a 500hp camaro so I'm not afraid of the acceleration that the turbo has to offer. My biggest concern is with...
Bare with me, probably a newbie question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. I've always drag raced my N/A '89 Camaro, simple. Now I'll be racing Ant's '99 GST. When playing with it around town, we both made sure to wait for it to shift into 2nd gear before doing hard boosting. Now, we'll be taking...
We landed ourselves an old laptop that's running on Windows7 Professional. Since then I have downloaded the Complete version of CeddyMods from Ceddy.us and ECUflash. Cu-dos to Ceddy for his research!
We also landed a Open Port 2.0 cable, but I think we will still need to get the adapter after...
Been fighting this transmission for roughly 6 months. Transmission has been gone through three times and valve body four times, they're both good, all seals present. Still no reverse plus a couple other symptoms. Just installed a new tcu. Here's the link to the full thread, feel free to throw...
I have been fighting what I thought was a auto trans problem for 6 months until today. After several phone calls I finally found a guy with a scanner to read the TCU. He couldn't access the TCU or PCM, but could manually access the ECU and turn accessories on/off. The whole time he would...
Last time I posted we were rebuilding the engine in our 99 eclipse. Put 1000 mild miles (no turbo spool-ups) on motor then started adding higher rpms (4500) and allowing turbo to spool. Even at that rpm was amazing difference on a fresh motor. However the tranny didn't agree. On the 4th pull to...
We just went through nearly a whole electrical rebuild on our 1999 Eclipse GST. Replaced turbo, motor mounts, spark plugs & wires, ecu, broadband O2 sensor, fuel pump, throttle position sensor, coolant temp sensor, fuel injectors, flex pipe on exhaust, harmonic balancer, radiator hose, ...
My name is Diana and my fiancé's name is Anthony. We saw and fell in love with a 1999 Eclipse GST that my cousin owned, then bought it on my birthday, July 12, 2014. She wasn't running the greatest, but my cousin was doing his best to get it running better before we bought it. The bonus was that...
