I have a 97 GS-T with a fresh full rebuild. The car has 502 miles and runs great except at idle. My idle is very eratic and usually elevated.I have a P0505 code as well as a P0325 (knock sensor malfunction). Knock sensor and IAC valve are both brand new and I have also tried other sensors in...

I am running a factory mitsubishi TB and do have the coolant lines connected. Still fighting this issue with no progress...

Okay. I am going to get the replaced in the next day or so and see what that does. Thanks for the info! Any other ideas are greatly appreciated.

Uuuhhhhh I don't have that screw on my throttle body... or the spare throttle body that I have. How would that cause a lean issue though? Sorry for my ignorance.

We did calibrate the TPS while it was connected yes.

I thought the same. I actually just replaced all seals and gaskets on the throttle body a few days ago. Are you referring to the BISS screw? The one on top of the throttle body next to the TPS?

I recently got my car running after a full engine rebuild. AEM AFR gauge will read 14.5-15.5 ish on initial start up but the car will begin to raise idle speed to around 2k on its own after a few seconds. When this happens the AFR gauge pegs out and reads three flat bars (over 19:1). I can...

You sir, are a dream come true. I have looked for this thing forever. I appreciate the info!

Does anyone know where I can get a fuel pressure solenoid (K5T43988)? I am under the impression that without it your car will throw a CEL and I live somewhere that requires emissions, so I have to at least have it plugged in. My car did not have one when I bought it and I am almost done...

Sometimes I don't understand how I can spend almost an hour looking for the answer and it's right in front of my face. Thanks man!

I recently got my block back from the machinist and they removed the oil plug on the transmission side of the block. Does anyone know what thread plug I need to replace it? Thanks.

What do you wanna see so I can make sure I get what you’re looking for.

I pulled one off a lancer at the junkyard. It fits just fine and the pump seemed to be the same.

Okay awesome. Thanks for the help!

So this probably seems like a reaaaaallllllyyyyy stupid question but ARP hardware is expensive and I dont wanna F this up. I am getting ready to check my oil clearances for main and rod bearings and I am wondering if I should use the new ARP hardware that will be going in the car when I torque...

I have a 1G FWD manual trans that I purchased in the beginning of my build and didn't do any research on it (like a newb). I was told it was a 2G and took the guy at his word. I can't use it and don't really know the history of it so I don't want to ask much for it. It does have one axle. Throw...

Well after 4 months of wasting my time, I got the engine back from the builder with basically nothing at all done. I've decided to jump off the cliff and build it myself. Here we go!

I recently got my 7 bolt back from a shop that was supposed to be building with basically no work being done. The engine is completely torn down and the block has been inspected and measured. I have decided to complete the build myself as I feel confident that I can do it, plus it's time to take...

Oh lovely. Fortunately he only has my block and a stripped head. Now the hard part is getting a hold of someone over there to get my stuff back.

I feel like there may be a trend going here...... Is there something I should have known about? lol

Unfortunately I don't have facebook lol I think I am going to take it to UMS tuning out in Mesa. I know a few people who have used them before and loved their work. The place it is at now is extremely unresponsive and has basically done nothing in almost 4 months.

I did a bunch of research on this and wasn't able to find a definitive answer so I figured I would post in case anyone else wanted to do this. I have looked high and low and could not find a decent set of 2G sun visors for my car. I tried opening mine up to recover them and absolutely demolished...

I am STILL waiting on my engine build to be complete. I am actually going to be going to pick it up from the shop that has it and take it somewhere else. I feel like almost 4 months is more than enough time and patience to decide to go elsewhere. But in the meantime I have been able to get a lot...

Hey everyone! I’m saw a bunch of people say there were in Surprise and I got all excited! I’m on bell and reems. I would absolutely love to meet some local DSMers sometime. Im currently building my car and am looking for a different builder than the one that has my engine now. Any suggestions...

I'm sure you can source them somewhere online but the amount of effort and the price would not be ideal IMO. I actually had the same two connectors missing on my car (among about 17 others). I was able to get them off of a Mitsubishi Lancer from the junkyard for next to nothing and they are in...

I may be wrong but when I looked up the part number KS32 in google multiple places have them. Here is a link for O'reilly selling them for $77.99...

So after discovering how much wiring had been cut and was wrong, I decided to make my first junkyard trip for GS-T. I was able to get all but 4 of the pigtails I needed and a bunch of stuff I wasn't even planning to look for! This car needs so much but I am really making some good progress so...

So while I am still waiting on my engine (the machine shop decided to shut down for the rest of the year after having it for 2 months), I decided to dive into the nightmare of wiring issues that my car has. Taillights did not turn on, headlights did not turn off, blower motor didn't work, horn...

Welcome! I also just recently picked up my first DSM after wanting one foooorreeeevvveeeerrrrrrr. This forum is a wealth of knowledge and experience. I am yet to run into an issue (and believe me, there has been a lot of them so far) that I wasn't able to solve on here. I hope your experience is...

Holy crap! I never got a notification that I had gotten replies to this thread so I hadn't checked it until today. Thanks for all the help!So it is not the clutch sensor as that is still plugged in on my car. It looks identical to what JPenny pulled from his dash speaker the wires are just...

97 GS-T. I have been unf*@$ing all of the wiring on my car that I discovered when I tore everything down. I have everything figured out so far except these two wires hanging down under the steering column. The colors are yellow with blue strip and white with blue stripe. They attach to a harness...

I do. And that is the way I was leaning as well. After looking back at some info from when I purchased the engine, the car it came out of was a 1996 Spyder 2.4 that was converted to a 4G63T. I can only imagine that the engine was originally from a 2GB and they just left the CAS on there and put...

Guess I get to be the guy to revive an old thread here but I recently purchased a 7 bolt 4G63 (I am unsure of what year car it came out of). I am in the process of rebuilding it and discovered that I have the 2GB style CAS on the passenger side of the intake cam as well as the trigger plate cam...

Been doing a lot of painting and clean up while I wait for my engine to get back from the machine shop. It's been almost a month (gotta love COVID). I'm pretty stoked with how the valve cover came out though!

That's one way to do it! I had trouble with the fuel gauge in my 67 mustang for years (and those don't have a low fuel light or a trip). The 5 gallon container of gas in my trunk became my best friend many times haha.

The light should still work. I have never messed with the one in a DSM specifically but I know most others are activated once the float reaches a certain point on the sweep of the arm. This would still be working correctly as long as the float was not full of fuel. The rust is causing the sender...

I've actually been trying to find a way to duct air to my external oil cooler from the vent in the front bumper. This just might be the ticket! I saw it on IG earlier and it didn't really click until I saw it on here just now.

@TK's9d2TSi All the small little nooks and crannies!!! I spent about two hours yesterday cleaning my throttle body. Man was it nasty. Lots of Q-tips haha I haven't made it to the front cover yet but it will be coming shortly.

I've been getting a lot of miscellaneous stuff done on my car while waiting for the short block to come back. Got both door handles working on the passenger side, put the interior back together, installed a new shifter, painted a bunch of stuff, two new rack and pinion bellows, a CV boot, and...

If it is covered in rust it may be changing the resistance values that are being sent to the gauge from the sender. I'm assuming the gauge is reading empty? This would make sense if the unit is covered in rust as stated.

That's so awesome man! What a great kid, and what an amazing gift.

Oddly enough, the 16G install kit I bought from STM was an ExtremePSI one and that's what came within a few days. Everything else I bought was Mitsubishi parts (I should have just went to the dealer in hindsight) and those took forever. You would think that the distribution chain with Mitsubishi...

Man, that doesn't seem like too bad of a deal! Can't wait to hear some reviews on this.....

I had a similar issue towards the end of last month. I ordered a few different parts and received some really fast and the rest took over three weeks to get. It seems to be some sort of distribution issue with their suppliers. I made many attempts to contact them as well but never got an answer...

I ordered a few different thing from STM back on May 26th. I got my 16G install kit withing a couple of days but it took over three weeks to get the rest of the parts I ordered. It definitely seems to be a distribution issue and not necessarily something that STM is mismanaging.

Man that's some back luck! Hopefully nothing is too jacked in there. I will definitely be filing this one away for things to keep an eye on in the future.

I have a 4G63 valve cover for sale. It's an extra so I don't need it. Asking $170 plus shipping and pp.

Well I decided to take everyones advice and ditch the Evo thing that came in my car. I picked up a complete and running 4G out of a 96 GST today. This is going to make things sooooo much easier.

I am definitely interested in one as well. What an ingenuitive idea!

Alright, Alright, Alright. I'm bailing on the Evo block. lol Now to find a decent DSM 4G that won't cost me an arm and a leg.
