No, absolutely not. You have to have it on higher boost (idk, like more than 6psi) rigs to keep back blast from chattering your turbo to pieces. When you let off the gas and slam that throttle plate shut, all the air pressure that you've compressed after the turbo that is inside the intake...

So, in my case, I have to really work to spool the turbo outside of second gear. At idle I have to wrap it decently (3-4K) before punching it up towards redline to get enough spool to throw the BOV. But really though, if it idles fine, you've probably got wires in the right order. If it's...

I'm going to go with Tony and Marty on this one. You should have a hose coming off your valve cover, left hand side, going to the intake right after the MAF that will bring oil vapor that condenses in the intake/turbo area. If you remove the section of piping, like Tony pointed out, it's the...

Good luck, have fun, report back so we can learn too! The 90's were a crazy time... Head knowledge is like gold around here and hearing what someone else has run into is extremely useful.

Most excellent, my dude! If the BOV has been changed, the obvious (to those of us that have been smashing knuckles under these hoods for a while anyways) places to start would be the recirculation system, the BOV gasket/O-ring, and the BOV vacuum line from the intake. The 4G63 is designed to...

Dang! No second/third DSM for us haha! glad the addition of sound dampening material helped! The kilmat is the urethane backed aluminum stuff, right? What thickness did you use?

Ooooohhhhh booooooyyy...... Welcome to the club! It's definitely an experience. Can you expand on the "doesn't feel right"? If it runs, you've probably got plug order correct.

I second this motion, but since I'm closer, you should donate it to my cause! :DBut in all seriousness, coat the wheel wells with the rubberized undercoating they sell in a spray can at most auto stores. Use something like FatMat or Dynomat on your floor pan, under the rear seat, and...

I'm going to second this motion. The only differences between these cars is in the body style. Motors and electronics are identical. I've had a 95 Talon TSI and now a 99 Eclipse GST and everything under the hood seemed the same.Edited: See next post for clarification!

Tracking. I'll chase the ground down here when it warms up a smidge.Duh, ohms law. I should have run the math first, you're right.I'll get after extra grounding from the battery as well. At this point, I have a laundry list of things that need fixed now that it is running, but at least it's...

Man, I totally forgot about the wayback machine. That archive is so cool.I'm pretty sure I don't have the master rod adjusted properly. There is definitely about an inch of movement before there is a sort of pop feeling where it starts to engage the cylinder, then another inch or so before it...

Sad day. The link is broken. In having an issue with the clutch pedal not coming all the way back up after a shift. It's disengaging the clutch correctly and there is no slip once the pedal is out, but you have to pull the pedal back up to the top of the travel.

21 ohm from black and white wire on E-36 to one of the bolts for the seat belts in the back. 8.5 volts at E-36 across the terminals while cranking with a battery voltage of 11.6 volts. It was cold this morning and that battery is on its last legs. Due for an Optima red top soon!Either way...

No FP test connector for pump out? No problem!

I rearranged the grounding from the battery terminal to shock tower post to firewall post where all the harness grounds connect. Then, I figured I'd check the resistance on the ground at E-36, then realized I'm pretty tall, I can probably push the clutch, hold the multimeter contacts and turn...

I was wondering about the voltage while on. I applied voltage at the E60, FP side, and the pump kicked over. As soon as I get a second set of hands to turn the key while I hold the multimeter I'll get the voltage while cranking on the E36.

So, I pulled the big plug that goes to the fuel tank harness on top of the pump assembly and found the following:Black/Blue wire has no voltage with key in the On position. Black wire has 23 ohms to any number of frame ground points under the back seat (read:seat belt bolts).One of the...

I know. I really appreciate it. I've done this on three different vehicles in the last two weeks, just not on my absolute treasured possession. I'll take heart, armed with your wisdom, and apply the knowledge to this undertaking tomorrow morning first thing. Once again, really appreciate the...

Not to cry, but waaaaaahhh! That's exactly what I thought I had to do! So much for it being easy. #dsmproblems Well, it's only been in the garage on jack stands for over a year...

Oh boy! That's got me all motivated again.For some reason, I had it in my head that the relay set was buried in the center console and I was going to have to pull the dash to get to it, therefore leading to procrastination. It's still pretty tucked up in there behind that piece of frame, but...

Definitely 4g63. It's the eclipse gst.

So, long time lurker, first time poster... I have a 99 Eclipse with a fresh head gasket and lower bearings that I've reassembled and all put back together and I've run into this issue as well. I'm 90% sure it's a grounding issue since I have zero reliable frame grounds from the battery. The...
