    420a lopey idle

    They all make a good point, considering you did not have the loping idle prior to the head replacement. If you shaved of an excessive amount of the head it may altered the timing by a 1/2 tooth.Aside from the obvious that everyone else has mentioned. An EGR valve that is stuck open will...

    420a dsm wont stay at idle

    Keep in mind a low idle vacuum leak is going to be post Manifold absolute pressure sensor. A vaccum leak at the TB or one of the vacuum lines on the back of the manifold will increase idle because the MAP recognizes it.If you car sounds like a drag car with a low loping Idle and runs fine...

    Taillight is Always On and Tranny Makes Noise

    I Encountered a similar problem where all my parking lights would stay on and not turn off unless I pulled the fuse. Ended up bieng the wiring harness in my drivers side fender well had rubbed through and the red wire was grounding out. Easy fix, was just hard to find.

    Question about my fuel set up... And fuel pressure issue(totally confused)

    There is no need to run both the aeromotive 1:1 and the 12:1 fmu. Your set-up is rather simple and your complicating things. For now, just install the stock injectors and the 12:1 fmu. A fuel pump rewire is good to do anytime your using a high flow pump. When you decide to raise the boost later...

    Where to buy a good OEM radiator

    I agree 100%. I have ordered radiators for both the eclipse and my wifes altima from radiator barn. Great prices and super fast shipping also. I will say paul your right about the eclipse radiator bieng all metal, but on the altima they sent an identical replacement. aluminum core with plastic...

    Tranny Change Help

    When you say flywheel, I'm assuming you mean flexplate because the modular clutches flywheel is riveted to the actual clutch disk. The flywheel in the modular clutch assembly is then bolted to the flexplate.

    ohhhhhhh crap!, Where ohh where have I been. Paul comes through. I cant wait to here feedback once this goes on the market. I'm actually looking to buy a new daily driver now so i can be boosting again. Gas prices here are $1.95/gallon, so I can afford to boost again lol. The car has been...

    Indeed, there really isnt much need to look elsewhere in your situation. Partsdinosaur is very reputable in the 420a community.

    Am I getting ripped off?

    Anyone who takes advantage of you and qoutes you $260 for a valve cover gasket replacement should get nothing except a foot in their crack.

    good topic for those curious

    Yeah that makes sense. As long as you changed the sensors you should be good. Otherwise the coil pack, Cam, Crank, and Speed sensors wouldnt plug into the 95 harness effectively.I have also seen people change ECU's and sensors like you mentioned and just lose weird options because of it...
  16. 4UH8ERS

    good topic for those curious

    What was the build date of your car and how many plugs does the ECU have? So we even know that you actually knoiw the year of your ECU.

    JAW Wideband kit

    I would also recommend putting the bung for your sensor about 10"-14" down from the turbo.

    good topic for those curious

    95's and Early 96's had a different crank angle sensor and quite commonly 95's were incorporated with a knock sensor.The 95's and early 96's also incorporated the round pin harness to sensor connector for Speed Sensors, cam sensors, and coil packs while the late 96+ have the flat pins...

    Power Steering Issue (Bad Bearings?)

    Nobody touches my car but me, unless its tire related lol. I say spend your money on either an FSM or a haynes manual and some tools and get to work. You will save yourself a ton of money. BTW: power steering fluid is dirt cheap thats $125 labor bill for 40 minutes of their time.

    Funny noise

    With your vacuum reading, youll find something if you do it right. Theres a leak and if you blow enough smoke yourll find the leak.
  22. 4UH8ERS

    Funny noise

    Do a smoke test to help you find the vacuum leak then. Put a balloon or something tight over the throttle body so it wont leak. Go buy a big old cheap cigar and blow smoke through one of your vacuum lines preferabbly in the intake manifold. Just use a vacuum plug and plug the hole from the...

    Sputtering... CPS? Pump? ECU? Help!

    The sensor and the clip/harness connection come together. You will replace the old sensor and you will also replace the connector that you plug into the new sensor by cutting the old one off and soldering in the new pigtail to the wiring harness.I mean, if you just want to see if thats...

    Funny noise

    Agreed, obvious vacuum leak here and because of the slow idle associated with it. I would bet you the vacuum leake is after the MAP.

    95 eclispe gs 420a squeaky motor and ticking

    Sorry, but your explanation made no sense to me. So is this a squeak similar to a loose belt or a ticking sound? like lifter tick?

    Sputtering... CPS? Pump? ECU? Help!

    Failing ECU's aren't know for causeing bucking issues. The very hard bucking is most likely the crank sensor (CAS) causing ignition failure. Very common problem in 95-96 models, this is why they revised the sensor for the 97+ models. If you buy a new sensor it will be the 97+ sensor and comes...

    head gasket help

    Not true! I drove my eclipse 11 miles before with timing off 2 teeth. If your losing power power under acceleration its an easy way to tell your timing is off.Another thing that will limit your revs/RPMS' is a faulty MAP sensor.Regardless though, if youre car is puffing blue and white...

    Funny noise

    This may sound weird, but its a 100% true story. When I first rebuilt my engine, when i fired it up it sounded like I changed to a higher lift cam, something with more overlap. It would just lope at idle. wub wub wub wub. I knew a long rod bottom end wouldnt effect the idle so I started trying...

    Funny noise

    A Clogged EGR valve or recirculation tube would not effect your idle, but if the EGR valve is stuck in the open position it will seriously effect idle and will be getting horrible vacuum readings aroung -10 in hg.My advice would be pull the EGR valve from the head, then take the metal...

    pic's of your 420a turbo setup

    LOL. /sarcasm
  33. 4UH8ERS

    Yet another noise puzzle... *sigh*

    Agreed check in that timing cover and check those pulleys, a bent valve would give poor vacuum and bad compression in one of the cylinders. You wouldnt just have noise, but also poor idle and oil consumption.

    [RESOLVED] overheating at red lights

    Dont band-aid the situation just fix it!. Lets see. I'm with randy here but lets elaborate some. First off the fans work leave them alone. Next your turbo! and they put off alot of heat energy, which causes heat soak in the upper radiator hose as well as the top of the radiator. Why do you think...

    Im 100% done with the talon, BUT.......

    Well, where to start. I heard lots of noises in that so called video. None that resembled this "knock" your claiming. We need a high quality sound vid with the hood popped to make any decent assumptions.Could you explain this knock a little better. Is it continous? it still knocks while...

    Lower o2 gone/CEL light on. HELP!!!

    A faulty downstream o2 sensor reading will not effect your fuel economy, and its not really a concern seeing as you have a test pipe installed. I had a downstream o2 code for a year and I run a test pipe. The day after I ordered an o2 simulator from Paul the code went off and has not came on...

    Need help, Installed a smim on a 420a now doesnt work

    well first and foremost replace the alternator fuse, because you need the alternator running in order to charge the battery while driving. When the alternator is not working the car relies on the battery alone for all its electronic needs and it will drain it quickly without the alternator...

    [RESOLVED] just bought it and it wont start!

    SLOW DOWN! lol. Start by replacing your fuel filter first and foremost!!. Its maintenence that needs to be done anyway. Secondly, remove your back seat and turn the ignition to the on position and make sure your fuel pump is priming. Start the car and make sure the fuel pump is continuing to...

    Super Lean, I need advice

    8psi being ok is merely an average figure and also depends on what size of turbocharger you are using. 8psi flow characteristics of a 14b and a Hahn s20g or your 50trim are not comparable. Just so that you know that. Either way though, if that FMU is working correctly and you have a clean fuel...

    i lost my rear o2 sensor

    The rear O2 sensor should be directly after the catalytic converter. Just crawl under the car and look up around the floor pan in that area to see if maybe the previous owner zip tied the connector out of the way or something.

    Oil Pressure gauge

    You my friend own a GSX where the OPSU is already located in the oil filter housing. The 420a OPSU is located on the back of the block, therefore you have to buy an adapter tapped for a sending unit which lowers your oil filter from its stock location. This is why we recommended using th...

    Oil Pressure gauge

    If you do decide to use brass fittings from the local hardware store. I highly recommend using a hightemp liquid gasket on the threads and not teflon tape or teflon sealant as they begin to leak over time. Liquid gasket maker is the only thing I have found to completely eliminate the leaking...

    Need help on Timing Belt Break issue. What would you do?

    Well, your clutch is a modular 1-peice unit with the clutch plate and flywheel riveted together. When you buy the clutch you get a new flywheel with it. Its hard to tell if a clutch is starting to fail unti it starts slipping, although with the clutch removed from the vehicle. You can visibly...

    Headlights

    I guess thats all matter of opinion. I had some projector halos, but they are just to ricey to me. I went ahead and got a set of OEM 2gb headlamps. The housing is recessed back further and looks much better. Once again strictly my opinion coming from a previous owner of those exact same style lamps.
