    1G Engine mounts

    Yeah, some folks swear by them but this isn't for me. Not used to shaking/vibrating mirrors. :(

    1G Engine mounts

    Rockauto is usually my "go to" but they're not always reliable. All I found on their site were for "Front, Rear and Transmission" and they were mainly for Automatics but mine is a 5 speed. I'll keep looking though. Thanks.

    1G Engine mounts

    Hey folks,Great news. I'm back running after I got my ECU back from ecmtuning last weekend. GREAT work, BTW !!! I need to know where I can get a factory insert/mount for the driver side. I see a lot of them advertised for the 1.8 but I have the 2.0 and they won't fit. I put in polyeurthane...

    1G 1G Talon NA ECU

    Thanks, Steve. That's exactly why I posted the pics because I couldn't tell where the leaking and corrosion were coming from but I knew it had to be a bad ecu. Do you know if anyone in the forum still repairs? I'll get another one but if repairing is a cost comparable option, I can also go that...

    1G 1G Talon NA ECU

    Hey folks,I deduced my issue of my no start when cranking. I got everything back to regular idle after a LONG time of erratic and high idle. I installed a new rack and pinion set, bled it and was all good. As soon as I changed the oil before taking it to get an alignment, it started acting up...

    Idle Switch

    It's the stop switch. Looks like a miniature spark plug that you have to back out and adjust and keeps the throttle from clicking all the way in. It was working fine a few weeks ago after some adjusting but now, it goes high idle again when I take the plug off to adjust it and when I plug it...

    Idle Switch

    Hey, my apologies for bringing up an old thread but does anyone know where I can get another ISC switch? It's been off and on working but today I started the Talon and no matter how many times I adjusted it, it went from idle surge to just straight high idle. It was working fine a few weeks ago...

    1G Light bulb for hazard/rear defrost/rear wiper

    Thanks because I didn't have a clue.

    1G Light bulb for hazard/rear defrost/rear wiper

    Tony, this is the one I need. I pulled it out of the housing.

    1G Light bulb for hazard/rear defrost/rear wiper

    Thank you, everyone for the replies. This was WAAAAAAY more help than I got trying to find them myself. I kept hitting dead ends.the eBay link looks just like what I need but the payless link came up "404 page not found" but from what you guys are showing, these look like they will work. The...

    Dashboard bulb

    Hey, everyone. I'm looking for a replacement bulb of this. I saw a post of a pc74 and ordered it but it came in today and that model doesn't fit. This came out of the dashboard portion that fits behind the dial that controls hot/cold for the a/c. It has the amber covering but I took it off. Can...

    1G Bent NA motor mount?

    I noticed that too. I bought the polyurethane inserts for the driver side anchor and transmission mount and I HATE it. At the time I thought they absorbed the vibration but really they just redirect it to the cockpit so that the engine supposedly has better response. I'm trying to go back to OEM...

    1G Just a grinding noise but won't start

    Anyone have any suggestions? Nothing worked as of yet.

    1G Just a grinding noise but won't start

    So, here's the update: New lifters came in yesterday and I installed. Same issue. Timing marks are on point and I can turn engine by hand as well, still.

    1G Hydraulic lifters for new home

    Yeah, it was crazy. They were so stiff, the paper clip actually a couple of times on the ones that wouldn't compress. The new ones came in today and each one was great. One gave me a "little" trouble but it finally compressed, thank God!

    Redid valve covers

    LOL !!!!, thanks, Widgmaster. I appreciate it!!!
  17. Blkapache01

    1G Hydraulic lifters for new home

    VERY sure. I used a straightened paper clip to bleed them all. Pressed down and the the amount of the clip I used to successfully bleed these is the exact same amount I used for the others. These pictured are the ones that came out with good compression after being bled. The others were like...

    Redid valve covers

    Thank you. It was my first attempt after a sudden decision watching a guy on YouTube just the day before. Kinda thinking about doing something else too.
  19. Blkapache01

    Redid valve covers

    Thanks. It's primer spray and engine paint from O'Reilly's.

    Redid valve covers

    So, sitting in quarantine and looked for something to do yesterday on YouTube and came across a vid customizing engine parts. Decided to give mine a go. Here are the "before and after" pics. What do ya think?

    1G Hydraulic lifters for new home

    Sup guys, So, I have some lifters that I want to let go. I was getting no compression and turns out that most of the lifters went bad because only a handful would compress when I bled them. I have them here pictured and they're 1g lifters (non revised) versions. I didn't want to get rid of the...

    How do I remove OEM sticker residue

    I personally like to use M.E.K. (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) to remove stuff like that doing other electronics projects in the garage, You can get it in the paint section of Home Depot usually around $10

    1G Just a grinding noise but won't start

    LOL @ "dsm special tool stash"
  24. Blkapache01

    1G Just a grinding noise but won't start

    Yeah, I used a paper clip and straightened it out with pliers to bleed them.
  25. Blkapache01

    1G Just a grinding noise but won't start

    So, I just bled them today and set them in a bucket of Seafoam. Most of them kept the spring action but there were a few that after I bled them. I had to push and pull just to get the movement going. Should I wait until this soak is done or do you think it's best to order new lifters before...

    1G Just a grinding noise but won't start

    Yeah, that's awesome, man. Mine are the original ones I had when I got the car and I've NEVER bled them before. I honestly didn't know as much about cars back then as I do now. These are 1g also, as you can probably already guessed since I got it in back in early 90's. LOL

    1G Just a grinding noise but won't start

    Thanks for the tip. That definitely will save me some time.

    1G Just a grinding noise but won't start

    Thanks for the tip. I see youtube vids of guys doing that exact same thing.
  29. Blkapache01

    1G Just a grinding noise but won't start

    Thanks guys for all the replies. I took off the valve cover last night and took out all the HLA's in the head. Just as suspected, these things were stiff as steel. I'm gonna bleed them today and give you an update after I finish and reinstall them. I saw a suggestion that after bleeding them...

    1G Just a grinding noise but won't start

    Thanks. I'm gonna check again.

    1G Just a grinding noise but won't start

    Thanks, I'm going to take off the valve cover and check. Also, I'm going to bleed the valves myself to personally make sure.

    1G Just a grinding noise but won't start

    I'm going to take the rockers out and bleed them myself just to make sure.
  33. Blkapache01

    1G Just a grinding noise but won't start

    Yes, when I try to start it, the engine is rotating.
  34. Blkapache01

    1G Just a grinding noise but won't start

    Not that I'm aware of. I was working with the mechanic who did mostly everything, so I'm not sure if he bled them or not. Yeah, the motor is rotating. I took the timing cover off and watched it rotate and I can also turn it by hand on the balancer.
  35. Blkapache01

    1G Just a grinding noise but won't start

    Timing marks are all set.
  36. Blkapache01

    1G Just a grinding noise but won't start

    Ok, I compressed the file on my phone so hope this helps. Yes, I put them aide by side and they're identical. Same Bendix as well, so it's engaging the flywheel.
  37. Blkapache01

    1G Just a grinding noise but won't start

    Yeah, I tried to upload it but the file was too big according to the DSM site. I got 2 new starters from Rockauto and they are doing the same thing. Both of them are for manual transmissions but I know sometimes their parts are "hit or miss"

    1G Just a grinding noise but won't start

    Hey folks, So, I hope everyone is ok during this pandemic. Working from home is now giving me more time to do projects around d the house. I tried to upload a video but the file was too big, so let me describe it: Eagle Talon was sitting up a few yrs in garage. Put in new clutch, new timing...

    radiator drain plug thread size

    Hey, my apologies for resurrecting an old thread but I'd like a recommendation. My stock radiator drain plug (which is the plastic one) broke and I bought another one but I'm not sure if this will happen again. What I'd like to know is does anyone know of a good replacement brass version and...

    How To Replace Dash Switch Bulbs

    Thanks, DW. I used to work at Radio Shack back in the early 90's up the road from my house. I miss the days when I could just go up there locally and pick up items I needed.

    How To Replace Dash Switch Bulbs

    Thanks. I wish they were still available, though.

    How To Replace Dash Switch Bulbs

    Yeah, my dash lights are fine. It's just the pop-up headlight and the foglight switches that don't light up on the dash. Thanks.

    How To Replace Dash Switch Bulbs

    Thank goodness you posted this!!!! I'm literally in a conundrum because all my headlights and foglights work but the switches don't light up anymore. Can you tell me if these are the same bulbs for a '91 Talon pop-up headlight and a fog light switch? Again, the outside lights work but the...

    1G Eclipse 1g NT fuel problems

    I'm glad to hear that. I took your idea and removed my fuel injectors too. Mine were rusted on the inside, the filters almost tore removing them. I got brand new filters and seals for all of them. BTW, nice Eclipse. Gotta get mine repainted and I'll post new profile pic after.
  46. Blkapache01

    1G Eclipse 1g NT fuel problems

    The filter being brown is a direct result of rust that got in your tank. The white spots are more than likely the carbon scoring that got left behind after fuel being burned off. I say this because I'm restoring my Talon and mine cut off on me after sitting up for yrs. I emptied the gas tank...

    1G 1G DSM 2.0 Fuel Tank

    Hey guys,Anyone know where I can get a gas tank for '91 Talon? Non-turbo, 2.0 engine is what I have. It rusted inside and I called myself cleaning it with vinegar, phosphorus acid/water and pit in a new fuel pump and fuel sender. I have intermittent start ever since then and someone told me...

    1G Does anyone know where these connectors lead?

    Thanks. I was wondering whether or not I was missing something. I didn't think I was, just making sure. Thanks, again.

    1G Idle Surge (up & down)

    Thanks for this info. As "fate would have it" mine does NOT have a ground strap at all. SMH... Do you know where I can get another one or is it ok to create a makeshift strap like a wire and clip on some ring connectors?
