I am having the EXACT same problem. did you ever figure out how to fix it? Did you pass emissions? Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback...I notice that the white smoke only happens when I turn on the AC. Any thoughts there?Thanks for the info re evap canister and solenoid bit. Is this something I just replace?

Any thoughts on this one guys?Thanks! Is that error code my EGR valve?

1. If the BOV is recirculated, there should be a hose running back from the BOV to the intake pipe before the turbo.2. You shouldn't tighten the BOV screw all the way down! This will force the BOV to only work under high PSI. Loosen it up buddy :)good luck and let us know what happens

Two issues:1. Check Engine light is on: EVAP Emission Control System Purge Valve C-Fault (P0443) What is this??2. My car has plenty of white smoke coming out when I first start the car in the mornings and when I start the car after it has been run for awhile. The white smoke...

Just a thought, but is he recirculating the turbo XS bov? If not, he should do that...

EWWW! That is some MAD lifter tick.Go get some Lucas Heavy Oil Stablizer, that should help quite a bit.Also see: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=118213good luck

How do I tell if my crank pully is seperated or not?Many thanks in advance.With regard to the other guy who has the same problems as me, please tell me if you figure out a solution.Thanks, you guys are awesome.

After driving through a rainstorm in So. Cal, I started hearing a slight squeeking noise at the timing belt area on the driver-side wheel well. I looked down and since my timing belt cover for that bottom area is broken, I can see the belt wiggling a little bit.The belt doesn't look like...

Hey everyone, the first afterdark DSM meet was great, aside from a little 90mph accident... :(But everything is okay because the driver of the car somehow controlled a spinout.Anyway, we had 4 DSMs and 1 Evo VIII and the ride was great fun. Nice meeting you all. :)

Meet Is Tonight! Do Not Forget!

The weather person tells us that it's going to be a COOL 60 degrees that evening. In the canyons, we can expect the temps to drop some 10 degrees, so we'll be cruising along in 50 degree weather, which is PUUURRRFEECCT.

There are two gas stations right off 5 and 74 FWY, so we'll meet there.Gather your people everyone, let's make this a success.So far here's the list:QSJOEYGST SoCaliEclipse Kinetic Boost TurboLarry Myself 4WHLBST - maybeThere we have it, if we can get 2 more people...

Yup, your datsun is welcome.Yo, anyone else out there wanting to go? This'll be an awesome time.

Yup, my MAF has all the honeycombs in it, unless some fell out recently. Is there anyway for me to test whether or not my MAF is the problem?Thanks!

Interesting, i'll make a boost leak tester this weekend and see what happens...Any other ideas on why in the world htis could be? how about my fuel filter? Could it be ultra-clogged?

I just put new Bosch plug wires and NGK BPR6ES plugs... it helped it for a short while, but now it's bad again. :(

I'm having horrible idle. When I start the car, it idles very erratically below 1,000 RPMS. There's no specific rhythm to it, it's very random. The car stutters, thumps, and really feels like it's missing hard.For example, the RPMS could be at 800 one second, then do a sudden drop to 0...

1st AfterDark DSM Meet @ Ortega Fwy (74), Wednesday May 26th @ 11pmExperience the thrills of this Orange County canyon in an exciting afterdark DSM meet on the Wednesday night (less c o p s) before Memorial Day weekend! The 74 FWY in Orange County has many twists, turns, and some hardcore...

How does your car idle in the mornings? Does it make a little sputtering sound and idle erratically?This happened out of the blue, and what's even more odd is that my idle surge disppaered too! I used to have idle surge and now all I have is bad idle with cold-starts.Any furtehr...

More problems... make them stop!When I start my car in the mornings it completely skips the warm-up phase and just idles erratically under 1,000 rpm. It feels like it's missing, then when the car warms up a minute or two later, everything idles fine.Any thoughts on why in the world...

Yes, $80 is way too much to install plugs and wires. It'd be a okay deal if it were plugs, wires, and installation though. It takes me ~30minutes to do the whole job myself. Wires are ~$40 and plugs are $1.99 each.THe stuttering occured when I would hit the gas, kind of like it would...

I think I have found the culprit! I replaced my spark plugs today with NGK BPR6ES and used my old set of spark plug wires and all of a sudden the car drives a whole lot better! I also reset the ecu per your recommendation. So, tomorrow I'm going to buy a new set of plug wires and hopefully...

WHO's IPT?THanks

Now it has gotten really bad. When I"m on the freeway, it jerks pretty hard. When I get off the freeway and going from 1st -> 2nd -> 3rd, it's very very jerky and it seems like I need to give more gas to get it to go.I checked the spark plugs and they look fine. I'm almost out of clues...

Thanks for the reply! You've given me hope again. I noticed that after placing more fluid into the transmission, it got a little bit better, but it's still bad.How do I check it when running? Do I simply drive around, then place it in neutral and check hte level?Thanks much in advance.

Just of out curiosity, does anyone have a picture of a '90 ISC motor? I'm curious to see what it looks like because I bought an alleged '91 ISC motor and the electrical connector is way too small for my 2g wire harness.Thanks for clearing this up. It looks like the 1g/2g ISC motors after...

Did the car give any signs of the transmission dying before it did? If not, then it sounds like you somehow lost all of your transmission fluid somewhere and turned everything to sh*t.

Okay guys,I have some really bad idle surge and I need to buy an ISC motor right away.Do any of you know if the 1g ISC motor will work with my 2g?Thanks much in advance! I'm sure others have asked this question, but I was unable to locate it in the forum.

When i add gas to accelerate and the RPMS are above 3,000rpm in 3rd or 4th gear, sometimes the car will jerk violently. This really scares me and makes me wonder what it could possibly be. What do you think?Anyone have any further thoughts and what parts to replace/rebuild?

When I'm driving in overdrive going up hill and trying to hold my speed steady, the car jerks like it's on a very bumpy road. Also, I feel like when I'm pressing the gas, more power is being generated, but it's not being put to the ground.This scares me, what do you guys think this is...

Depending on how wide your window opening is for bringing a coat hanger in, just wrap a bit of duct tape around the end of the coat hanger so it's more sturdy. That should do the trick. :)Good luck and let us know how you get it open!

Thanks for replying everyone, I'm sure the DSM community will benefit from your posts. :) Now I'm off to go do the low/high beam mod!Brighter lights, here i come.

HKS SSQV w/ recirc is cool :) Greddy Type-S is also a good BOV for your $Good luck bro, let us know how your car turns out!

Is it possible to convert the regular low-beam headlight into a high-beam? SO that way we have a high-beam setup in replacement of the low-beam to increase visibility?This question comes about because on the 95-99 Eclipses the low-beam headlights are 1000lumens while the high-beams are...

You've got a NICE car & a NICE turbo setup. Don't screw it up with a BAD blow-off valve. The last thing you want to do is to cause compressor surge and destroy the new turbo.Spend $40 and get a 1g BOV off of the classifieds section...seriously, do it now.

WHY are the bolts real bitches to get off? Is it just screwed in really tight?Thanks!

Hmm, some real mixed opinions here. Some saying it's just another job and some saying it's so bad they took it to a dealer.This is what I got from this thread, let me know if these steps are incorrect:1. Disconnect the fuel pump by removing the driver backseat cushion. 2. Start car...

Okay, idiot question here, what does the fuel filter look like?Thanks! :)

Will fuel spew everywhere when I disconnect the two lines?How much did everything cost? How difficult was it to get the fuel filter out?THanks!

Anyone have instructions for replacing the fuel filter on a 2g turbo? I looked at VFAQ but didn't find anything.Any thoughts would be appreciated! Where is the fuel filter located? Any tips to get it out? Etc.Thanks

So let's say you find out you do have shaft play, then what do you do? How can early detection prevent further damage?Thanks

Crankwalk is extremely rare -> non existent on A/T dsms, isn't it?

Get them for negligence. When a shop mechanic makes the statement that thye can DO a job and they are able to do it, then that is fine. When a mechanic makes the statement that they can DO a job and is NOT able to do it or does it incorrectly causing damage, then it is negligence.Go get...

yup, they are the same

$18 crankwalk fix on www.vfaq.com under ENGINE i believe. I didn't see anyone post this, so just giving you a heads up, sorry if it doesn't lead to a solution.Good luck bro!

Try using heavier oil. When I was running 10w-30, I noticed some smoke coming out of my exhaust too every now and then. Now I'm running 10w-40 and no problems. Some even recommend 20w-50 on older engines. You should try 20w-50 :) And DO NOT use SYNTHETIC oil if the engine has not always...

Also, since your compression is 150 straight across, that throws out the possibility of a head gasket leak, right? :)

How long were you letting it idle before the white smoke comes out? I know if you let our cars idle for TOO long (don't know why) white smoke comes puffing out of the exhaust. This happened to me when I let my car idle for 15 minutes once at night, I noticed white smoke coming out. So now I...

Yes, mine just went bad. :(ICS = Idle Control Solenoid
