This is the Build Thread for 1992 Plymouth Laser RS AWD Stockish. Reply below.

and hopefully fixed all the leaks in it so i can find out why the car runs like shit, hopefully this was why :thumb:

thats exactly the answer i was looking for, i knew you could do it so there are no ill affects on the car :)ive had tons of dsms, and i know i've seen the posts in the past and this was exactly what im looking for.Someone should sticky this because i would have to assume 1995 ecu's are...

swapping the wires only changes the firing order of the spark plugs thought not the fuel injectors, i thought the cam angle sensor being inverted caused a little more problems then just the firing order. It's been a while but i recall people running into issues at like 3k rpms without changing...

So my winter beater(95gsx auto) shit out on me a few days ago. I was driving along just fine and all of a sudden it wouldnt turn on when i stopped to get gas. Waited a few hours and it started up and drove home just fine. Stopped it in my driveway and it wouldnt move. Waited overnight and it...

you could give changing the pcv valve a whirl, you say that only under high boost it leaks, if your not venting properly backpressure could be causing the issue, i know it sounds weird but i have had the prob before.

i dunno the battery still holds decent charge, tomorrow im gunna clean all my grounds and i am going to make sure that everything is connected again. Anyone have any ideas on where the wires go?

i just changed the alternator and it stil does it. The alternator i put in it is of a 99 gsx with less then 20k on it so the regulation should still be in check.

Im having trouble with the charging system on my car. I have replaced the alternator but i have not seen much if any of a change to my situation. Basically what happens is my voltage gauge reads about 11.8 but when my car is accelerating it reads between 13-14 volts. This has nothign to do with...

if my tranny problems are being caused by an improper 6bolt with auto tranny install. there were many problems with the original swappers work. Im looking on the net and seeing that if you use the wrong flexplate you can put pressure on the tranny pump.... I really am getting scared now that...

I have a 92 tsi awd parts car that has a tranny that was rebuilt by a reputable shop in allentown pa with about 10k on the rebuild. Since my 95 has a 6bolt swap i could just bolt on my 92 tranny correct. My 92 is a 6\4 setup so the tranny would even work with the 2g correct?

when the tranny is not working i can put it all the way to the floor and it wont catch at all. I literally have to shut the car off then back on then the tranny works fine. The car also has a 6 bolt swap, is there a chance that the 6 bolt swap with the auto trans is causing problems, i didnt...

but how could too much fluid hurt? Also explain more about fluids i can get locally that may be adventagious to my efforts.

and when it works. Turning on overdrive and turning it off works fine, i can also shift into all gears like low and 2nd etc, without any problems whatsoever Everything works fine when it works.

it will only start when in park and neutral so that is good. The car when it doesnt want to work, will shift into the drive and reverse gears really easy, but i never hear or feel the tranny shift. It just sits there in park or neutral. Sometimes when i let it sit there in gear after a few...

would be unfortunate if it were slipping, but the car runs and shifts fine in all aspects unless i come to a stop and such, its shifts feel clean and powerful.... i dont even know if its slipping. Im hoping its a clog or something or maybe even a shift cable. im jsut hoping some1 can point me in...

idont feel it go into gear, the shifter itself feels like im tghrowing it through air, almost no resistance, but i look at the actuator on the tranny itself and its moving fine.

i owuld say it goes from fully functional to non functional not slipping, jsut not useable like its not even in gear. Um i will check the boost leak thing, but i really doubt its that still worth a shit, i have some little leaks to check on neway ;) PLease explain more if you think it will help...

I finally got my 95 tsi awd on the road after what seemed like a multitude of delays. However the tranny has been acting wierd as of late. When driving it feels like it is shifting really late and doesnt seem to want to down shift very easily when i come to stops. I have also had it on a few...

Isnt it nearly impossible to check your base timing when the car wont run at 1000 rpms. like i have said before i cant even get the car to idle at anything less then 2000. I wish i could, also no matter how much i move the case around it wont idle lower then 2000.

anyone out there have any ideas at all:beatentodeath:

the full magnus method where you change the shot order in the ecu pins. I left everything else where it should have been up top then i unverted the coil pack signal so it shoots in synch.i just dont know where to go from here, has anyone else encountered similar issue's? Also with an aem...

:toobad: Alright i have bought this car abotu a month ago and have finally finished fixing all the wiring and rigging that has happened ot my 95 tsi awd auto. I got lal wires back where they need to be however. The car does not run quite right yet. I got the car running on all four cylinders now...

and make sure your intercooler pipes didnt get knocked loose. if yours leaking your loasing hp and your going to stumble

that would help a lot i pmd you about my email address. Thanks a lot.

but i cant read it, even when zoomed in it gets to pixelated. Maybe if you do it a little higher resolution it will help. Where are chilton manuals usually sold? i should just pick one up.

so i have three white wires and they all go to 1 of three spots, i guess i will jsut try a bit lol. Thanks for the help, and thats for the 95 not the later ones, rre's say front and read but say 78 should be empty but i will give it a shot thanks for the zippy answer :) does the chiltons...

Alright so i have been chasing down problems with the 95 tsi awd since i got it.I finally found out it had an improper 6 bolt swap done to it which has been making it run badly. Well now i'm down by the ecu and i'm noticing that some wires are spliced and i cant figure out why. There's three...

can test compression with bad valves, your going to need a new head before you can do that. Look at the top of the cylinders check for cracks and etc, maybe file out the burs agetthat new head on.

throttle body and blocked my egr and fiav only thing reused was tps but that wouldnt make it smell like gas. I am really running out of ideas. Lets all work together to figure this out.

same problem. I am suspecting that it is the 1g head on my car wit hthe cas wired wrong. I will be doing ab oost test today. But i mean word for word im having the same problem. Smells like gas bad, car pops a little til 2500 then it runs fine, a little hesitant but not too bad. Also if you let...

ecu is in great shape. Looks like a little excess conformal coating but nothing horrible. Smells good looks good. Im saying its good. any other ideas?

though i really dont think its an ecu problem. I will take a gander. I will have the opportunity to use a logger this weekend so i will try that too.

i jsut replaced my whole tb with the one off my 92, wired it the way rre's guide says to and removed my egr, still runnign bad. It initially starts in a surgre then slowely goes down to 0. im trying to figure it out, but to no avail. I noticed it smelled rich, then unhooked the 02 sensor by the...

my dsm is running like crap too im loking into finding the cause. I think i may have a bigger problem as im idling horribly and my check engine light just turned on. Im gunna block my egr and eliminate the fiav tomorrow. If that doesnt work im gunna replace the Tb. With my 92's becuase i know...

my 92 tsi awd lol and when thats down i drive my 90 tsi awd

when my 1g turbo was going bad, only at wot, but it would make a pretty nice white smoke cloud behind my car. Do a compression check or a leakdown test, also let your car cool down and feel your turbo its good to know you dont have any odd shaft play and it spins freely.

though it is about 200 dollars a year difference, its just that the 94 has a molded body kit and is already painted really nicely and has absolutely no rust, how many gs-t's can you find with all that work done for 900 dollars especially in new york? Also i will have the time to do it this...

and anyhow it makes more sence toconvert my dl to a tsi becuase all the body and frame and etc are good, short of welding new rocker panels in they are irreplaceable, and the body metal is rusted through, im pretty confident in the conversion :)

im gunna go for it, im gunna drive it as a dl, make sure i make it ride nice and smooth then make it a Tsi. and i have been researching a bit and im pretty sure this is all i need correctm e if im wrongTurbo wiring harness Tsi engine Turbo Gauge cluster Cooling lines intercooler etc tsi...

because the body is in awesome shape and i have both cars and if you can bolt all parts from the 90 over then it would involve lots of time and little investment with summer coming up i will have the time but not the money. Seeing if its possible or if anyone has heard of such a swap, i really...

I have a 1990 tsi awd thats body is pretty beat and rusty as hell, but it still runs and drives smooth, however the body is beat, i also have a 1994 talon dl, Assuming i completely rob my 1990 of parts, is it possible to convert the 94 to the tsi awd with all of the parts from the 90 or am i...

when my intercooler was unhooked, so check for turbo leaks all around. What will happen is our car thinks its getting more air and gas so it lets its rev higher then there no more gas so it pops and your rpms dip.Just a guess but my car did the exact same thing.

if you can only hit 3psi and your boost controller is up all the way. either you have your boost set wrong or a huge hole somewhere, or even a disconnected pipe. Good places to look are at both sides of your intercooler or wherever a line should be connected.Good luck.

i have been driving manual cars for a long time, why would i switch to an auto transmission, dont most people move the other way from AT to manual?

I have been toying with dsm's for about 2 years now, but up until now i havent had the money or ambition to mod them, my first car a 92 tsi awd AT was pretty much a task to get it back to stock to increase its reliability, however that did not work as it lost compression in cylinder 1 after...

its a pretty simple matter, if you have a 1g there are no emissions laws because they are more then 10 years old, and if you have a 2g you cant have any dash lights going off and you need to pass the emissions test, however it is once a year and you can have some people pass you even if you fail...

Thank you for clarifying that for me, For the longest time i was confused, i know the the reason for the supposed advantage to the 4 bolt rear, but never knew how to tell short of measuring the rear axels, Also if i do swap out my 1990 tranny to one with a different transfer case, what other...

92 talon needs a turbo and an alternator..... but who gets what they need, its going to getfmic with short route piping 3 inch turbo back safc 16g turbo 550 injectors and probably some header or a 2g manifold then it will go back on the road :)1990 tsi awd needs a fix to the...
