  1. WHat Other Sensors????????

    Clean the plugs and replace the wires if you haven't yet. If you recently replaced the O2 then just leave it alone. You have an A/F, or EGT guage in your car?
  2. 0 compression after driving

    :confused:
  3. Engine shuts off when idling

    Sounds like an intake leak, or bad spark.
  4. help this sucks so bad!

    Sounds like either your pump is going bad, or you've got an injector stuck partially open.
  5. 2G I can't get enough boost

    Make yourself an MBC and crank the boost up a bit, the factory t-25 actuator will open at about 12psi, so that's normal... If you turn it up and get more boost then you're ok, if you turn it up and it just spikes then drops off put your t-25 back on and see what happens, you might have a bad turbo.
  6. Please Help!!!

    Sounds like your end clutch on your tranny went out. How many miles are on your car?
  7. Question of Tranny Fluid level

    Good luck with reading it... You checked it when it was warm right? Always check it warm and with the engine running with the car in neutral. When you pull the dipstick you'll have to hold it at an angle in the light to read it properly. ;)
  8. tranny break in ?

    Tranny parts are pretty strong, and really don't need any break-in. I would recommend taking it easy on it for about 200-300 miles and using synthetic gear oil though. :D
  9. No more stock races

    15-16 PSI should be ok with the 14b. Shift points... :laugh: Slam it to the floor till redline, shift and then repeat the previous steps. :D
  10. buschur racing

    Buschur racing makes some good products! I'd buy one of their exhausts, but I'm a DYS'er. :D
  11. Which fuse is for the radio?

    I think it's in the fuse box that's under the hood like in 2G's, check it.
  12. removing dash and HVAC controls

    Good luck! I did it once on a 90, and once on my 97 and I'm not doing it again! :D(I don't remember how to get it all out, it took forever!)
  13. Lifter Tick [merged] Revised lifters 3rd Gen Generation 3g

    Only way to completely eliminate the tick is to replace the lifters with the new upgraded ones. I put 1/4 quart of Lucas oil stabilizer in and the thing only goes tick tick when I start it and thats the end of it. :D
  14. 2G P0125 coolant temp too low for closed loop fuel control?

    If your car has more than 50K on it your O2 sensor is probably bad and I'd recommend replacing it, that will fix your O2 readings problem. Have you replaced your thermostat? If so what temp?
  15. Heat sheild Questions

    I polished mine slightly with a fine wire brush and meguiars metal polish. I got bored with it and sanded it and painted it with high temp (ceramic is best) exhaust paint. It looks sweet! Don't use an enamel. (Even if it says it's high temp!) If you want a really nice finish have it powder...
  16. 2 blown turbos.

    Have you replaced the oil-coolant lines? One of them might be clogged, or have an obstruction in it. Do you have your settings above or below 0% at 1K-2K on your AFC?
  17. Car stalls while idling

    Sounds like you've got an intake leak. Make yourself an intake leak tester and test it for leaks. You can get instructions on making one on Vfaq.com under Intake.
  18. Shimmy

    Could need an alignment. Could be overtightened lug nuts.
  19. accidentally pluged oil return line, is turbo fried?

    Sounds like you just have some oil in the wrong places. Just drive it around a bit and hope for the best. Shaft play is not a good thing, how much is a sizeable amount?
  20. How many quarts of tranny fluid...?

    I just changed some and I can't remember, it was either 2.5, or 3.5 quarts.
  21. Spark plug gap

    Best way to get a precise gap is to use a feeler guage.
  22. Burning Oil

    Clean the motor! Spray down all the greasy nasty stuff (but not the electrical like spark wires and ignition pack) with Gunk foaming engine degreaser, let it soak for about 1-2 min and hose it off, then just watch for where the leak is coming from.
  23. Mitsubishi dealer ripping me?

    Yes, motor mounts make wierd noises when they start to, or have torn. Fix it yourself and save some $$$. :D
  24. emissions in phoenix area

    Yeah, the trick is to keep the car in tune and you need to have a cat!
  25. MBC install [Merged 10-7]

    Run the line from your BOV line to your MBC and the line out of your MBC to your Wastegate. Pull all that factory crap out when you're doing that. Don't forget to cap off the nipple on the compressor side of your turbo.
  26. Front Lower tie bar

    I haven't ever seen one for a DSM.
  27. 20g pumps gas times

    Really fast. :D
  28. Vaccumm leak

    Make a boost leak tester, you can get instructions for it on Vfaq.com. The BISS is on the TB on the front of it in a hole about the size of your pinky.
  29. lots of oil usage but high compression

    I've seen em like that with worn out rings, and with bad valve seals, I even saw some that where a LOT worse than that when my friend blew a hole through a piston. It is most common to see a plug like that when the valve seals go. Take off the intake-exhaust manifold and check for oil in the...
  30. wierd idle problem with a suge then dies may be rich ?

    Put any honeycombs you took out back in and put the screw back to where it was. Either have someone who knows WTF their doing fix your car, or put all the factory crap back on-sell it and get another Dodge.J/K But I would do what I said in the first sentence. ;)
  31. lots of oil usage but high compression

    Sounds like the rings are worn or the valve seals are bad. You're getting oil in the cylinders which is probably the cause of the high compression readings. Look kinda like this? :D
  32. Boost leak or something worse?

    You're talking about using JB weld to seal between the TB elbow and the TB? Don't do that, coat it lightly with some blue or black RTV, seat it lightly with the bolts hand tight. (Don't squeeze out the RTV) Let it sit for about 6-8 hours and tighten it. Sounds like you've got a boost leak...
  33. I Hate My DSM, or My DSM Hates Me [Merged 12-8]

    You getting boost? Maybe your turbo's f-ed! Sell your money pit and get another one! :D
  34. nos on a 94 tsi awd

    I hope you're planning on using a wet kit. (Don't want any accidents) If you want to build your motor get some Ross 8.5:1 forged pistons, and some Eagle or Pauter rods. That's just my preference on parts. There are quite a few to choose from.
  35. Catalytic Converter question

    You could if you're having a custom exhaust made, but why? You can get a catco high flow for like $30-50.
  36. $60 for a timing belt??

    I got a factory one through my mechanic for $57. :D
  37. biggest newb question

    I have a 10 disk Infinity (not 6 disk pioneer) in the back and it's factory. :p
  38. PCV valve

    Yes it will make a little noise if you shake it, it's a check valve (spring with a little valve on the end.) Your old one was probably junked up.
  39. stock GS wheels..gunmetal??

    They'd look good. I haven't seen anyone do that, but you just need to visualize them like that. If you can't, take a pic of your car and have someone in the Photoshop forum change the wheel color for you. :D
  40. Car still finicky, lots of peddel = little acceleration

    Is it dropping a gear and going when you press it to the floor? If not then your kickdown switch might be damaged/broken.
  41. easy fix or new motor

    Sounds like you need a new block, unless you have the piece that is broken and you have a heli-arc, or know someone who does.
  42. If you need help.........

    :confused: You smoking something?:D
  43. lean at WOT no matter what

    Rewire your Fuel pump. Run some Redline Fuel System cleaner through there, and put some 93-101 octane fuel in there to clean things up. Your stock fpr is not adjustable at all.
  44. Blitz and EVO 3(Sinsei) Bumper owners Help me out.

    get the 97-99, it's stylish, but it doesn't stick out. :D
  45. Problem with HKS SS BOV

    That doesn't have anything to do with the bov setting. The pressure form boost is causing your bov line to come off. Use a zip tie pulled very tight, or a small crimp or worm gear clamp to keep it on. :thumb:
  46. Hooking Up An External Wastegate ?

    For the MBC to be hooked up correctly you just take the hose that ran from your old WG actuator and hook it up to your HKS, it sounds like you need to adjust the tension on your WG so it'll open at the lower boost pressure. :D
  47. Blitz and EVO 3(Sinsei) Bumper owners Help me out.

    On a 97-99 bumper with the top cut out I measured 22" at the top, 26" at the bottom and 10" tall. :D
  48. Help Me !! Proj.style headlights on 97' Tsi

    If you don't want to change your front bumper you could take your car into a body shop with the new lights installed and have them custom fit the bumper to match.
  49. Yet Another Fuel Pump Rewire

    http://www.raktron.com/fuel/rewire1.htmlThis is in VFAQ under Fuel instead of electrical under 2G FP rewire. It's the same one I followed to do my car. :thumb:
