i'm not totally sure if its only when its started but the way it was explained to me it does it all the time. she drives it, at a stop light in D idle is normal but when she puts it in park it spikes and stays at 2k.
Hey guys, have a quick question. friend's girlfriend has a 93 awdt talon automatic. in park and neutral it idles at 2k rpm, but in r or any forward gear its at a normal 1000. any idea what could be wrong? idle screws need adjusted maybe or something else? thanks.
so i have an extra head from a 2.0t, that i'm trying to sell. i have a buyer but he wants to know if its a 6 bolt or 7 bolt and i have no idea. its stripped down, just the head. how can i tell the difference just from looking at it? i tried to search but most indicate using the oilpan which i...
well i put everything back together this afternoon. i apparently mixed them up becuase when i started it up it sounded like a wrx. no cel or anything, thought maybe a little bad gas from sitting for like a month, but wouldn't go away. turned it off, switched them back up, runs like a dream now...
so here's the deal. i boguht my 90 tsi awd and after a few weeks the alt went. i got a new one and in the porocess of reinstalling it, one of the wires broke off the back of the alreayd melted plug. i removed it and re did the wiring on the plug but now i'm not sure what's power and what's...
since i cant seem to get an asnwer for my alternator thread. if i cross the wires off the alternator plug (ground and power) will it simply not charge the battery or will it blow shit up? the plug had to come off and new wires saudered on adn there's no difference in color in the wires on the...

thanks, i was also going to ask, if anyone has any electrical diagrams so i can try to figure out what the wire to nowhere is, and additionally if it would be easier/possible to remove the alternator from above without pulling the fender liner being that the power steering pump is already removed.
well i purchased my dsm about two weeks ago. friday night i was being a tool and decided to launch my car. burnt the clutch up a little but what scared me was the oil light came on briefly right after. so i pulled over adn checked, i was low and added but my friend noticed that one of my bolts...
...i'm back :)90 tsi awd. needs little things here and there. replaced the blown dimmer switch last night. ps pump needs put back in, coolant hose has tiny leak, small things here and there...just hope the gas mileage doesn't kill me. intake, catless 3" turboback, act 2100, turbo timer. not...
So i'm looking at a 1g awd for sale with an overheating problem. the guy says it over heats more in the winter than in the summer. i'm thinking thermostat but i'm not totally sure...what else could it be?
well i got a little more info. not a dropped valve because it seems to go away under boost according to my friend (owner's bf). he test drove it and then told me this. any ideas?
trying to help diagnose my friend's gf's dsm. 93 tsi awd auto. had lifter tick but now its significalty louder after she went to start it one day. i haven't heard it yet but im starting to think its a dropped valve. is there any way to confirm this w/o tearing it apart? if we pull the valve...
trying to solve an idle surge problem on a 93 automatic tsi awd. i know there's the isc idle control sensor whihc is real expensive so we're trying to explore all options before we go the real expensive route and i was trying to understand what fiav stood for.
in researching idle surge i came across a possible cause as "fiav" but searches have yielded little as to what this stands for or exactly what it is. little help? thanks!
i think she jsut wants a slightly beefier daily driver...she doesn't want to get too into it, maybe auto-x it drag race it occasionally but not much. but i didnt know there was that much difference between the AT and MT motors, i thought it was jsut turbo and ecu. thanks!
exhaust manifold gaskets, at the motor adn at the cat. not around the headgasket. she doesn't intend on doing any serious tuning with it but a data logger may not be a bad idea. i think they're gonna work on this and see where it goes from there.
well it surges/high idles only once its warmed up...and once it starts doing it or gets to the point it blows smoke out of the gaskets. but i will recommend those as well.
doing a little research for my friend's girlfriend. she has a 93 awdt automatic that has a high idle that appear to be caused by a bad exhaust manifold gasket either at the motor or the cat. she doesn't want to go crazy on it but she would like to look into possible performance replacements...
my friend just called me because as he and his gf were on their way back from buying her bone stock 93 tsi awd auto, they got several miles when they started having problems. the rear lights went out, the radio went out,, the cel kicked on and then it died. if you let it sit for a few minutes...
well its been about two years since i got out of dsm's after wrecking my eclipse and i'm a bit rusty on my info so have a quick q. i searched but couldn't find anything pertaining to what i wanted to know. my friend's girlfriend went to look at a 93 talon tsi awd. now from what i recall about my...
wlel it turns out i wont be getting the car anyway, shame i was getting excited at the thought of another DSM. he already had the parts they just needed put on. thanks though.
well after two long years its possible i'll be getting back into the game. i wrecked my eclipse jan of '06 adn got out of dsm's and into euros, buyt i'm now looking for a winter car. i've found a '90 eclipse with a 4g63 n/t for a decent price, but the owner claims that it needs a tps first and...
ok i did a search but i could tfind an answer to my specific question...im considering putting lambo doors on my car. However, im unsure if i need to roll the fenders for this. its a 1gb. anyone know if this is necessary?
well guys, i'm gonna have to change this this thread. i got a call today from the organizer thats its been put on hold. the airport has cancelled on her again. right now north hills sports car club is looking into having it at beaverun, otherwise it will be 100% at north park, i just don't know...
This year the Auto-x For a cure will be on June 10th at its usual place, Washington County Airport. We realize the date is a little sooner than expected but its all the airport will allow. If you've ever been to this event before then you will find that this year will be much more basic than...
well i'm not really on this site anymore but thought i would come back adn check it out, and it has changed some since i left. i've been away from these cars for almost a year now, and while i'd much rather forget the night that left me without my eclipse anymore i can say it was probably for...
