After 3 months up on jack stands, I finally got my 1g back on the road.I’d like to thank all the folks that shared their knowledge to help me with all my questions and set backs. Also, thank you to all those who have posted over the years to create this archive, and those who continue to...
So I have the dreaded cold idle surge. After it warms up, idle settles down and all is well.
I have searched and read many pages on the subject and I know it could be a few different things.
Here’s the thing: when I ground out the timing plug the idle immediately goes back to normal. And when...
My intake cam gear is bent and needs to be replaced. I did check to make sure it was torqued and seated well.
I just put the motor in with a new timing belt, etc and really don’t want to go through all that again.
I’ve read some threads regarding swapping cams without taking the timing belt...
Hi everyone.
This started with a 93 Eclipse FWD, non-turbo, manual trans. I'm swapping my blown 7-bolt for a JDM 6-bolt. It has gone pretty smooth until I went to mount the trans. The flywheel that came with the 6-bolt is too big to fit in the bellhousing.

I am swapping my blown 7 bolt for a 6 bolt and have a couple questions (so far):I’m doing the timing belt and front main seal. The front case gasket looks solid. Should I replace it anyway if I’m not disturbing it?The oil filter housing on the 6bolt doesn’t have a place for the pressure...
Hi all,
While under my car, I had the brilliant idea of pushing my slave cylinder in. Now, when I push the clutch pedal in, it goes almost to the floor before it starts to engage. I can pump it and it helps a little, but after a few seconds it goes back to useless. I have followed all the lines...
While trying to fix my rear window defrost, I have lost power to my heater blower motor. I'm not too proficient at wiring diagrams and I'm stumped. Here are some things I have disturbed before the motor stopped working (I'll be as descriptive as possible):the relay to the right of the fuses in...
