Well today is the day I say good bye to my 1G. I am very sad about this, but I need a reliable car soon. I will be driving about 7 hours every weekend. I picked up a 2010 Mazda3...Before I bring her in, if you need anything off it (interior, etc etc) let me know and I'll get it for you...

I tried looking around and haven't found much in terms of my specific questions.My tensioner pulley blew its bearings at 70 mph on the highway. The timing belt burned up. I've taken the belt, and pulley off and also did a leak down test and I could blow through the spark plug holes (valves...

Alright Ladies and Gents I have a weekend problem for you to help me solve.I was driving on I-30 at 70mph, Radio and A/C on, when my car dies. The gas pedal still produced a response from the engine (audible) but the gauges showed nothing (I am assuming because I was in gear coasting so the...

Hello thereHas anyone put 2004 (ish) eclipse wheels on a 1G? They are 16x6, 5 lug but I just wanna make sure before I buy them. Thanks!

Hey guysI'm in the Western Massachusetts area right now (Westfield to be exact). I either have a very big boost leak or am doing something wrong in the test.Is there somebody around the area who could help me run a BLT who knows what they're doing? Thanks.I have a 14b. :laser:

Hey guysThis morning my car had zero pull to one side or the other driving down the road..I just got it aligned.I took it to the tire shop to get rotated and balanced and now it pulls to the right.Here is something that may or may not be pertinant:Before rotation: Left front...

Well this isn't about my car..it's a Honda so head's up :shhh:My friend has a 2001 Honda Civic EX and he's had some problems. When it is +80 degrees outside it runs for about 30-40 minutes fine and then the car will randomly jerk and it will shoot a CEL on the dash. It runs rough and...

OK, I searched on this and there is a lot of information but i don't see any straight answers. If somebody can direct me to an existing thread that I missed thanks (and sorry). BUT...I have had idle issues. I did a boost leak test, checked ICS, checked plugs, checked connections, and set the...

Hi all.. I just bought a 1G SMIC from a guy on here and it is different than my 1G and anything else I can see online. The brackets are slightly different and also the LIC side is shorter and at more of a steep angle..so it hits my coolant reservoir. It's the same size...just different. Did I...

I looked around at idle surge threads, but mine isn't as described in most. My idle surges between 500-850 and sometimes at stoplights it hovers on 1000. Other times it is rock solid on 750...where i have it set. the stock boost gauge also moves with the rpms (nothing on the aftermarket). I...

OK, so right under/behind my intake manifold there are 4 'nipples' for hoses. only two of them had anything on them. Shouldn't the other two have hoses on them as well? does anybody know what these are? I've had a wandering idle for a long time and i cant figure it out.:laser:

Can someone tell me the laws in Texas (Dallas/Fort Worth specifically) for exhaust? I can't seem to find info on it. Thanks.:laser:

Ok, I searched around and can't find anything that really fits what is happening. When I turn the key and start up the car it will sometimes make a rattle as it cranks (kind of like something is loose). Also, it will sometimes either make a grinding noise at idle and on decel and sometimes...

Hey guys, my girlfriend's car is a 2003 civic and it has a problem of shutting off while she is driving. She lives in TX and I'm in MA so I can't really just go look at it, but i asked her if her cd player shuts off when this occurs (to check to see if all electrical was going out) and she said...

My dad has a 1992 Ford Probe GT and he just totalled it. He says I can take whatever I want off it and I noticed the SMIC is alot bigger than the stock 1G one. Does anyone by any chance know anything about these? Like if this intercooler is more efficient? I mean, I know bigger does not always...

Hey guys, I need some help. I have tunerstien installed on my laptop and I have a cable that goes from the car to the serial port. The problem I have is that I cant seem to get any data logged. When it askes me to choose the com port being used, the only two that 'connect' are 'com3' and 'random...

Ok so I take the turbine housing off to port it and find that the fan is chipped on the back side. all the blades have a similair chip in them. I was wondering if anybody else had this and does it mean the turbo is going to die soon, or if you know if I may have some more life in it. If needed...

Ok, I know alot of people have similar problems but dont ask the same questions, or at least dont get the answers im looking for. The problem seems to be common. ill try to explain it really good so its easy to understand: I turn the key and get a click. It does that sometimes, yet not others...
