I'm having a hell of a time getting the iscposition and learnedidleadjust set correctly. I took it out and made sure it's clean, the throttle body was recently rebuilt, tps is adjusted properly as far as I can tell. This is my first attempt at "tuning" so I'm trying to go through the checklist...

I noticed that my belt was loose when checking oil and coolant levels the day after replacing my water pump. I had to drive the car for an emergency and checked it when I arrived but it was tight again. Makes me wonder if oil pressure is involved.

Hey guys, I've got a pretty serious oil leak on the timing side of my engine. It looks like the previous owner of my car got rid of the balance shaft and did not plug the hole in the side of the block where the tension pull and the sprocket for the balance shaft were. I'm going to guess that's...

Hey guys,I removed the HVAC controls in my car but is like to retain the front defroster. I can manually set the ducts to blow on the front window but in not sure how to wire the fan to a toggle switch. I'd like to do it properly. Any advice would be appreciated.Thanks!

This thing has so many more wires than the Innovate mtx-l+ that I have. I'm not sure what wires to use. The innovate really only uses 3. If I'm wiring this thing up similarly I'm going to need power, ground, and signal. The signal wires are analog wires are white (analog +) and brown (analog -)...

I keep getting the e8 code on the gauge. I replaced the wideband and even bought the heatsink. I'm thinking my egt is too high and I keep toasting these sensors. I'm new to tuning and I think I might be getting too rich. Any things I can check to verify this weeks help greatly.

So I recently rebuilt my turbo (big 16g) and the car STILL smokes when I downshift and coast. The turbo wore a hole through the oil deflector and a decent groove into the thrust bearing so I chalked it up to that. But after a rebuild it's still happening. Any ideas? And I'm going to be checking...

Hey guys, I just got an mtx-l plus. Everything that I've read mentions to use the brown wire when installing but this thing doesn't have a brown wire. Only red, yellow, white, and black. Innovatives documentation says the yellow wire is analog out. I've got a 2g with Ecmlink so I was going to do...

Hey guys, there are some really nice shifter assemblies our there for other cars and I'd like to use one from an Acura Rsx. The problem is the cables are shorter for the rsx, if I can get my hands on a set of stock RSX cables would that be ok? The pictures all look like they will fit onto the...

Hey guys I live in Kansas where it's been 20 degrees and below lately. Since it's been this cold my car has started smoking like my turbo has blown. And I'm driving on aa rebuilt 16g I'm not sure if I just need to wait longer before driving it or what. Any thoughts on what it could be? It...

Hey guys,I went through the car wash and as I was leaving and pulling up to the stop sign, the car died and has not started back up.I checked under the hood and the battery was covered in water so I dried it off in a quick attempt to fix the problem. Nothing. I have not begun the diagnosis...

Hey guys, I recently upgraded my fuel system to accommodate more power. I have installed a DW 255 fuel pump(rewired), fic rail and 750cc injectors, and Aeromotive fpr. I have set the fuel pressure to 42.6 or as close as I can get to it. I have tried setting the global fuel to -39.8% and global...

I've got a 2g gst and I live in Kansas. Any time the temperature drops below maybe 40 degrees the car has difficulties staying running. I notice the lights on the dash are not as bright as the first symptom. After that it starts misfiring and sputtering. After that it dies altogether and wont...

Hey guys, I just picked up an Evo3 16g for a hundred bucks. The turbine wheel looks a bit worse for wear and I would like to replace it. Any suggestions on who to go to for rebuild and balance?

Hey fellas,I was wondering if anybody has swapped on one of the k tuned throttle bodies. They are a really good throttle body and they have an option for one of the mustang flanges that are commonly used. I would like to put one on my car at some point but would like to know if anybody else...

Hey guys I'm having some trouble diagnosing whats causing me to not have spark.compression is ok ~150 across. plugs are brand new and gapped. Coils we're testing bad and replaced. Used one of those power probes and found power at the plug for my ignition module but not after so I replaced it and...

Hey guys, I recently bought a 16g (and I did check the part number) for $100. The turbine wheel looks a bit worse for wear and I was thinking about replacing it. The problem is I'm having some trouble finding one from a reputable source. Anybody got any idea where I might pick one up?

Alright guys here's the question. How exactly do I replace valve stem seals with the head on the block? I attempted it once before about a month or two ago and apparently I did it wrong because its smoking and one of my spark plugs was soaked in oil, and this was after about 2 weeks of doing...

alrighty guys, I'm trying to set the timing on my 2g and am running into a bit of a snag. The previous owner stuck these aftermarket cam gears on and they dont have the timing marks on them like the stock ones would which means im not sure how to set the timing. is there anyway i can tell by...

hey guys, I'm working on my 2g and when I tried to pressurize the cylinder so I could compress the spring, the crank spun. I don't know which direction it spun and I don't know if that means I now have to do timing. I unbolted the cam gears from the cams and had the belt still on it. I didn't...
