I recently replaced my alternator and belt and now on start up the belt squeaks for about a minute or so, also the coolant light comes on from time to time i just had my water pump replaced when i did the timing so im hoping its not that. Any other ideas on what it could be?

About 2 months ago my battrey decided to completely die so i replaced that then Just over a month ago i replaced my alternator because it also broke. More recently both the battery light and coolent light have been on. At first they were very dim and you could barley tell but over time they...

Before i had ecmlink i had a cel for my egr, after i installed link the cel was gone. Im thinking its related to that but im not completely sure. Basically the cel will turn on, i will let off throttle ever so slightly and it will disappear - there is no noticeable changes when its on vs when...

I Stripped the drain plug to my transmission like an idiot. Any ideas on how to get it out?

Im trying to replace the struts for my hatch and i cant seem to get the old ones off the ball joint anyone know how to?

So i recently purchased a 90' ecu with link from rix racing, i was thinking it might be used and have someone elses tune so i wanted to reset it. I followed scott lairds guide for "new installation for new users" and "resetting ecmlink back to stock" i was able to copy everything BUT the fuel...

My under hood temps are higher then id like atm and i want to lower them before we summer and it becomes an issue. I currently have only the passenger oem fan and a full ac delete, i have a fp manifold and heat shield on the way so hopefully that will help but i also want to install a second...

I trying to get some ideas for gauge mounting, headunits, seats, switches, steering wheel, and anything else fun or creative in your interior.Mainly looking for 1g's but 2g's are welcome

I honestly have no idea if this is something you can diagnose/fix but basically as the title says, sometimes my car likes to run smooth. To my memory the few times its happend the sun was out. The only time it was not sunny. (the sun was out earlier that day), i let the car warm up then drove...

So according to the po his neighbor drove into the car while it was parked 🤷‍♂️ (Title is still clean though 🤣)Ive brought the car to 3 body shops, first one said its impossible to repair(maaco), second said theyd do it for 12k, and the final place said its doable but would be very expensive...

I got a cel on the way to school today and checked it via 12v led (see vid below) its coming back as egr (43) correct me if im wrong but this is just an emissions related code and seeing as i live in Washington and we dont have emissions im wanting to clear the code so i can read future codes.

First off I apologize if this is a dumb question i know close to nothing about wiring.Im wondering if i could wire aftermarket fog light to the stock button? my car still has the plugs for the stock ones and i assume the wiring still works (still need to test it)I was looking at buying...

My car is overheating when its sitting still. (See previous posting for more details) The first thing i would like to check is if the fan even works. Im 95% shure its an aftermarket fan because of a few reasons 1. Theres only 1 fan instead of 2 2. Its very "slim" (think its a ebay slim fan) 3...

has anyone mounted a rooftop tent or some sort of camper? I'm hoping to take a road trip this summer and I'm just looking at sleeping options.

Basically on a cold start everything is normal and it idles fine but after i drive around for a bit and shut the car off, it doesn't want to idle and will just die so i will manually idle it for about 15-30 seconds before it will hold an idleWhen i say "die" its will try to idle then just drop...

Title basically explains it, when im sitting still for an extended period of time, for example in the drive thru my car will overheat and start to shoot coolant out of my overflow im thinking the fans either aren't turning on or dont work but i wanted to double check before buying new fans or...

This intake came with my car uninstalled. So im wondering if it will work and if its any good?Im 99% percent shure it will fit on the turbo my only concern is the maf.

I'm looking to get my timing done and get a new water pump installed because I have no idea when it was last done, the previous owner said the guy before him did it but doesn't know the mileage or have any form of proof. I called the shop I normally go to and they said it would be 900$ for just...

(This happened about 3 weeks ago) i was out driving with some friends and went to the car wash, when i went to start the car again it would start then die. a friend of mine who used to drive an rx7 got in and manually idled it then it idled fine and i went home. the next day it would crank but...

My car came with a greddy profec spec 2 and im just trying to figure out how to use it. I want to put the boost back to stock or relatively stock (car has a 16g) until i get my timing done.P.S. I didnt know if this should go in the engine mods, turbo, or tuning but i decided on tuningAnd...

[90 talon tsi] So I'm just wondering what tuning options I have in the future (currently doing maintenance so it'll be a week or two). I already have an EPROM so I just plan on running ECMlink.I'm in Washington, i found a place about 50 miles from where I live that said they would do it but...

90 talon tsi, my idle jumps around and even got stuck at 2k once even after it was warmed up. Any idea? I dont even know where to start.

I have a 90 talon tsi and the tachometer is almost never accurate when going above 60% throttle or hitting boost. it works fine almost any other time. The previous owner installed a new dash and im think its something to do with that so im wondering what i should do to try and fix it. Also There...

Hi yall im looking at buying a 1990 talon with some upgrades (notably a 16g) the previous owner did all the mods. The current owner got the car as collateral from a debt and he is more into bikes so he doesn't know much about it and is looking to sell it. We went for a test drive today and the...
