I just repolaced the lifters with the revised lifters due to lifter tick. I know it was lifter tick because i cleaned them and it was fixed for about 2 days.
I replaced them and i know i did it correctly.

TO fix lifter tick.
REplace lifters with 3g lifters.
Use 10w30 oil and a mitsu filter.
Well, it worked for me at least.
TRy a mitsu filter, it may sound stupid, but it worked for me.
Check the wire coming off your aftermarket cd player called Dimmer, or illumination.
It could be shorting out somewhere.Doesnt matter is your cd player works fine this only has to do with if when you turn on your lights, does the cd player dim?I still havent fixed my problem.
My fuse...
Like he said above.
Change your plugs NOW.Change your oil NOW.Seafoam doesnt have any of the properties oil does and will not lubricate your engine.
So change our oil. NOW.
I replaced my lifters and started using a mitsu filter at the same time and it cured my terrible lifter tick.
Mine used to be so bad it tripped my knock sensor.
Try using an OEM filter, it worked for me.
I use 10w30 castrol gtx.
If you have lifter tick..... My vote is for that, it will trip the knock sensor and cause that to happen.
Happened to me, then i replaced my lifters and it hasnt done it since.
alright this was only happening when my lifter tick was reallly bad.
i replaced my lifters and got the tick totally gone, and it hasnt done it since.
i go with the phantom kock being the issue.
get the lifter tick taken care of and it will prolly take care of it.
Who said i didnt?I primed them by takin out the engine fuse. did that for about 30 seconds.
THen i started it and let it sit for about 15-20 minutes, then i drove it for about 100 miles.
Then i brought it home and it was still doing it, THen next day i put more miles on it and it was...
ok i lied haha
drove it a little more and then parked it, came out the next mornig and started it no lifter tick at all and it hasnt started yet.
so i was just too impatient i think its gone now. it feels faster for some reason?
maybe im imagining things.
Ok i replaced the lifters and it barely(but slightly) made an improvment.
Im usuing castrol gtx 10w40 and a mitsu oem filter.
What oil should i try next. ive never used syn in this car and it has 80k so that make sme nervous.
I think its the type of oil im using.
Im using castrol gx 10w40.
Im going to try 5w30.
The lifters were brand new and 100% perfect. I got them from partsdinosaur the same place some of my friends have gotten theirs from, and theirs work perfect.

Its the 3rd generation of lifters.The oil hole is bigger in diameter allowing better flow and decreasing the chance of them getting stuck from being dirty.THanks for all the replies i thought this would be good if we had a lot of people with good ideas and showing they worked or not for...
All i want you to reply with is:
1. Did YOU have Lifter tick? not your friend or your cousin or whoever. YOU!
2. What method did you use? (cleaning, replacing with revised, etc)
3. Did it cure it?
4. Where did you buy your lifters if you bought revised ones and how much did you pay for it...
iv eonly ran it for about 10 minutes but it doesnt seem any better thna before.
maybe they were just worn and not clogged and sticking...
looks like ill by some new ones of ebay for 128+ship.

Ive checked mitsugraveyard, junkyards, ebay, posts on here and dsmhorsepower.com. No one has one for sale.
I have a transmission at all so i cant get a rebuild.
Anyone know of where else to get one?

If you unplugged your mas and it still ran the same.... Then i would thinbk your mas isnt operating correctly.
If you didnt mean it the way you typed it than i would say boost leak. Does the car still run fine other than that, i mean does it stutter? Does it boost fine?
I see you said it has...
I tired pb and impact and a cutting wheel and everything. I ended up using a torch to heat them up and then after a little impacting, then hammering on a smaller socket sized and impacting it, it finally came off, then the back part wouldnt come off at all so i cut the back section off.
ok, i did a good boost leak wiht a good air tank.
fixed throttle body shaft seals.
fixed throttle body gaskets
fixed intercooler to L pipe leak.
no leaks all the way to about 25 or so psi
Still DOES IT!!!!!!!!!!!
i am giving up and taking a small personaly loan to get my car completely...
This is the gasket from throttle body to elbow on a 2g turbo.
No one near me carries it, i need my car now.
WHat other material cna i use to make this gasket.
Why would you make a post and ask should i reset the ecu?
By the time you type it you could have already done that and maybe not waasted some bandwith....
Thne if that doesnt work THEN make a post.
finally someone that helps instead of flames...
yea ive been dreading it, ill have to pull it eventually, dont have the time right now. I think i may just take it to a shop and get them to fix it i dont know. I dont have TIME anymore.
I totally let axle seal slip my mind, ill check that...
Im waiting to finish finding my boost leak so its runs a little better, then ill fill up the tranny fluid and see where it comes out, last tiem i tried to tell i really couldnt see where it was coming out. It looked like the general area of where the slave cylinder is. But i dont know.
Well, the car is still driveable, and you wanna know how i work? Im a courier.... So when my mom wants her car i have to drive this, so if i pull the tranny and have no car, then thats money lost and maybe a job lost.
I dont have money to get it fixed even if i take it out and bring it to a...
moms has a second car haha, and we take my gfs car when we go out...
ill fix it eventually but i dont have the money right now so ill drive my moms car until i do.
I dont see why we keep bringing this up. i am 100% sure tis tranny fluid..not lets move on lol. Or for the smart guy huafist... it is gear oil coming out of the transmission. There smartass...
When i say around the slave cylinder... Im just saying thats where the jist of the fluid seems to be coming from, the actualy banjo bolt and bleeder on the slave is bone dry, but i do know my slave has been bad for a while. Thats when i noticed this fluid, when i went to check my slave and see...
Im not stupid. DOnt talk to me likle you are dman ken jennings.

Well i only have a bike pump and it doesnt build much pressure cause its 20 years old and shitty. But i did start to hear it i thought. Then i pumped a lot and jumped on the motor and put my ear next to the throttle body and i heard it. then i pumped a lot more and jumped back on there and moved...
What could be leaking air by the throttle body BESIDES the gasket from IM to TB and TB to elbow? What other seals are there that could leak enough to make my car act like this....
When i try to rev it it stutters bad to 2500 then bam lets loose and revs fast almost like normal all the way up...
Teacher is partly right...aluminum heads almost always get warped....if you get a vlavejob done, they usually do the shavign for free or like 20 bucks....at least around here its free.
doesnt the stock boost gauge read right byt he throttle body? Could it be the throttle body gasket? When i did the leak test i didnt hear or feel anything anywhere including there. But i dunno there is constructuon across the street and its hard to hear...?
Another thing i just noticed was that the stock boost gauge doesnt work? well it stays at the very bottom and doesnt move. It worked before i swapped all this out....
What makes thats top working?
Is it mechanical or electrical?
I just leak tested it, nothing leaking......
Yea rehooked the bcs up lol.
Its got he symptoms of a boost leak, but i just did the tester thing on vfaq and it didnt reveal anything...
Im stumped...do you think the odl gas in it could have enough of an effect to make it run so crappy...
