You wanna sell that Eclipse? That thing even have compression anymore? How many miles are on it... 200k?.... It would look good in my drive way. You still got the bottle hooked up to it? That thing probably needs the whole bottom end replaced. Let me know clown.
I would get a logger and try that out because that will probably help you solve your problem. My car was running pig rich so I hooked up a logger to it and before the car was even started it showed a bunch of weird curves so I swapped the ecu out with another one and it solved the problem. I...
I have been having the same problem with my gauge. I could be doing 75 down the highway and my oil pressure gauge will be on or near the L. The rpms are usually over 3,000 but the gauge still reads low. I hope this is normal and it is not hurting my car. The car runs great and pulls hard but if...
You might want to check out the cap on top of the thermostat housing. I had the same problem with my car heating up and there was plenty of coolant. The cap was bad and it kept letting the coolant overflow into the coolant reservoir spilling onto the ground. This only happened after the car was...
Since your are the fortunate owner of a DSM (Daily Service & Maintenance), you should probably get used to doing the work yourself. If you intend on keeping the car for any amount of time, you should look forward to putting a great deal of work into the car. If not I would advise selling it!
You might also want to check how many cold cranking amps your battery has. I have ran into no start problems recently because of the purchase of a battery the wrong size. The people in the mechanics department at Wal Mart sold me the wrong battery. What type of battery is it and what is the cold...
The capacitors on the ecu tend to leak so take off the cover and look at what kind of shape they are in. I was driving my car fine one night and the next day it was running really bad because my ecu started to go out.
Well when I replaced my struts and springs I had to get new bump stops from the dealership and I had to cut some length off of them so my car would ride low and good. Ask your mechanic if that will have an affect on the noise.
I was wondering if you replaced the rubber bump stops that ride on the struts with new ones? I know I had to replace them on my 90 dsm when changing out the springs and struts. The stoppers usually corrode and break apart over time. I know these can cause noise if not properly installed or left...
I am going to come to the COMO meet and I have at least 2 other buddies that are going to come. Two of us have 1g's and another kid is bringing his 2g. I hope it is fun because it will be my first time.
I did a boost leak test and found a few leaks but none that solved the problem, however there is a little leak coming from the back of the intake manifold where the throttle cable connects to the throttle body. The MAS is plugged in.
The wires are new and the compression is good. Could the coil pack be going out for over a month now and not die yet. The car still starts and runs rough.
I made sure the crank pulley was lined up with the two marks on the cam gears, I have recently checked compression it was 148, 150, 155, 160. I checked all four wires for spark but the car is still running rough. Could the problem be a sensor ? Camshaft position sensor ?
I own a 90 turbo laser and it is having a lot of problems similar to his but I have checked the ECU, new plugs, wires, done a boost leak test, checked timing, examined the turbo and nothing has solved the problem. There is no check engine light on but when you put it in gear it wants to die...
Yea, don't cut the springs it will be time consuming and probably cost you more money than just buying new ones in the long run. I would also advise you to buy new struts for your car. When I lowered my 90 dsm the stock struts were shot compared to the KYB gr2's I replaced them with. I only paid...
I own a 90 plymouth laser RS. I haven't had any problems with it until I went to start it up after driving the previous night. I started it and it began to idle rough and almost die. I drove it but it had no power and would die at a stop sign. The car has been running 12 lbs. of boost for the...
