UPDATE, I know its been a long time since I posted on this thread but I need to Set as RESOLVED I changed all 6 front control arms that came with new ball joints. NO MORE VIBRATION. Also I cleaned the Brake pins and applied new grease to them and in the holes, pads are wearing normal now.

Rewire the harness back to normal patch the holes in the vacuum lines to the HVAC controls. Have the head reworked Bore and hone cylinders Install new rings

First thing you need to do is check the three wires going into the coil pack and see what if any voltage you are getting.Coil one fires 1 and 4 and 2 fires 2 and 3. Center wires should be 12 voltsCoil one is on the right pin and 2 is on the left pin. See if your getting a negative signal to...

Update:::I jacked up the other Driver side tonight and found that I have a Rear brake caliper issue, My rear break pad is almost gone and its wearing on an angle.Also noticed I had a loose alternator belt that I tightenedSo far this is what I foundLoose Belt/FixedDriver Rear...

I changed the upper ball joint when i did the wheel bearing, the lowers looked good and nothing moves at all when you push and pull by hand.

I thought the same thing but They are good, Changed less then 2 years ago.

this happend to me once and I noticed if I smacked the fuel pump and ASD relay it would start up fine. Almost like it was getting stuck. In fact i could take the terminal off and on a few times and it would fire up no problems.

Ok lets start with this, I have been having a grinding/whining noise coming from the front of my car, sound like its from the pass side. I noticed that it would only do it when I made a left turn around a bend or driving straight with a little pressure on the wheel turning left. Typical it seems...

That plug goes to your Secondary Air Injection System.Its nothing at all I even have a post up on how to fix the CEL for it.You my friend sound like the EGR is stuckCheck that first.

You need to just do the basics with these cars.Change Suspension Components. Bushings, Tie Rods, Wheel Bearings if needed,Then Intake Standard Intake.Then Exhaust Header, I run the OBX header and its nice. Your in Florida so cut that CAT out of the Exhaust and get a new...

Reset the ECU should work fine. Always does it with the 420a.

1. How did you check the wires? Continuity? Looking? Colors?

You need to look for a Vacuum leak before assuming its Electric.There is always plugs that are not going anywhere in all cars.

1.You need to turn the Key on and check the Voltage to the CAS and Crank Sensors first.2.Check the Coil again for the proper resistance or let Autozone do it for you.3.Check for broken Plugs/Wires

There is your misfire.

Don't forget to check your engine mounts, If they were mangled during the clutch installation or you didn't put the Roll stops on the sides of the mounts, it will do exactly that.

If it takes 20 Seconds to start then I would check your Crank and Cam Sensor. sounds like one of them are bad or one is shorting out the other.

Something tells me you might of ended up with a Evo Tranny

Check your compression across the board. See if that cylinder is low.

Yes new bearing at time of Engine to Tranny join.I changed my Trany Fluid tonight also with no luck.

Ok so I rebuilt the Engine this weekend form bottom up, New main and rod bearings, 20 over 10 under crank 30 off the pistons the whole nine yards.My issue is that I cant pin point the exact sound, its very odd.When I take off from stop in first gear I hear like a vibration kinda rusty...

didint know if the 420a needed thrust washer for the thrust bearings

I'm rebuilding a 97 420a block and wanted to know if i will be required to purchase a thrust washer for this setupor is that just a 4g63 thing

thanks for the help man, I'll just order some cheap Felpro head bolts for the time being and worry about better ones for the swap.

It was a new head only thing used the same was the bolts.I'm asking this because I read that when the block was cast the bolt holes aren't drilled to the proper deapth to set the bolts.I'm wondering if this it true and since my head was decked if its not the right clearence for the...

Let me rephraseIs there someone who has already subscribed to this thread that would second that.

please read OP again

OK so as some of you know I am currently rebuilding a new engine for my car, Well in the mean time while its being done I have gotten a bad oil leak in my DD.I got a reman head a few weeks ago and dropped it on my block while the other one is be done. I put a new head gasket on but used the...

thanks guys I will order the Bearing for a 97....

I think I messed up ordering bearings, I'm re working a 97 block but ordered 95 Main and Rod Bearings. I think I just read that the 95 uses a different main bearing then the others.If this is the case can I use my 95 Bed plate and crank or do I need to order 97 Bearings....

Well rods and pistons don't have anything to do with my rings be bad.I just went and got a block today so i'm going to just rebuild it and stop efing around.Admins you can delete this thread.

my mistake .010 is factory i think.and modernperformance.com is way overkill i don't need eagle rods, just some basic stockiesMaybe I'll do it this way so I can have a car to drive.Can I get away with changing just my bearings and rings for the time being while i work on a new block...

Ok so I am rebuilding my lower end and need some expert advice.I'm going to need pistons, rings, main bearings, and sleeve bearings.I am not looking for High Performance, just a good quality and GREAT price. This is my DD not looking to turbo or anything.I was looking at either ACL...

Well after the longest head job in the world today, new timing belt broken pin on the camshaft alt belt and ps belt with all new gaskets. I am sure the rings went. I crank it over and only 30 PSI in #1 dropped a little oil in it and 90 PSI.So it looks like I'm rebuilding a block.I pulled...

Ok so a 2 weeks ago I drove home from work, car was fine. I ran my dad to the store. When I got back into my car it sounded like i wasn't running on all cylinders it almost sounded like there were 2 cars side by side with the same exhaust. I crawled under my car found a leak, fixed the leak but...

I would say Torque Converter

It still sounds like an o2 problem now.

Its kinda one of those pain in the ass things to test, but yea you should check your Fuel Pressure and change the filter. there cheapAlso, have you taken out your injectors and had someone try and start the car to see if they even squirt good.You could just have them clogged.

My 1st Gen did this and it turned out to be the MAF. Try cleaning it.

Well the next basic thing to do is drain the gas and get fresh stuff running in. Cause it kinda sounds like a FPR issue, but at the same time. Sitting for 5 months weighs more on being bad gas.

I have a 420a, I don't have a MAF only MAP. Thanks though.:D

Correct.I'm going to bed now, if you need anything, just write and when I get up I'll send it to you.

Here is a layout of all your vacuum lines.Before I forget, tap on your FPR a little bit.

That's why I think something is just dirty, when a car sits, things tend to happen.Rats move into your intake, Vac lines can dry up and suck closed, sensors can get stuck from moisture. Lots of things happen.Also get new plugs or clean those.Just because your car sound different doesn't...

Throttle BodyAnd get some Mass air flow sensor cleaner and clean out your MAF.Also before I forget, any codes?Spark on all cylinders?

Yea it clashes, but hey it can be fixed. Email me some pics of your car, I'll photoshop some designs to bring it together.

Clean your O2's, pull out all your T/B sensors and clean them.

I second that. Great choice bro. Loose the aesthetics of the pods unless you actually need them. Loose the tach.

I know your throwing a code, what is it? And you say you have fuel, but do you have a fuel injector pulse? Have you tested your fuel pressure for a leak?Sounds like a main relay issue.

Do this, Take your tire off, spin the wheel hub. If you notice it hangs or sticks at a certain clock its your wheel bearing.If seems smooth, put your tire back on, grab left and right sides. Try to wiggle in left and right, next try up and down.If there is a noticeable movement its your...
