Thanks guys- it was a tonne of work. One tip I gotta say is Save the rockers before ya trash old shells, I didnt in the past and i regretted rebuilding them one off each side! So much welding, grinding, welding lol

So I've always wanted to see a 1g with no side "bumper guards" but could only find a photoshopped red one online. Anyone seen/done any others? Well, I did it, and I like it! Cleans up the lines of the car a bit, gives a little more bottom heavy look. Of course, all personal opinion :) Hope...

For sure no spark if crank signal gone, not sure about CAS tho...

donniekak - I will check that, you guessing it tore up the sensor? Now I'm intrigued lol

pauleyman has an excellent point with cas/crank possibility

Only because it is a warm up issue, have you ohmed out the computer coolant sensor warm vs cold and checked spec? It can be toast with no CEL... Just a shot in the dark, not knowing the car: Coolant Temperature Sensor a) Sensor testing i) Make sure the car is cool ii) Drain enough coolant from...

Had the same issue- the relay right at the pump from the rewire was the issue on my 95. Pulled my hair out diagnosing all other relays in center of dash behind radio and fuse box under hood- then found that one hanging under the car! (no wonder it was shot) Changed it and vroom! Hope this info...

It looks great but pretty rough on rockers and strut towers. Boys want the parts :) Thank you for the offer tho- Ive had the same dilema go thru my head 100 times lol

Thanks, yup, $900. Im just stoked for the spoiler (been looking forever) and interior for the green one, and of course, a black hood :)

Green one is my project currently, and the parts car we got for 900 we are parting for mine and buddies cars

So this weekend my buddies and I picked up a 1998 Talon TSI AWD. Not running, for $900. Dealership gave the kid a big story about 2500$ repair. Brought it home, and it was Crank Angle sensor, which is super weirdly different on a 1998. So...because we bought this as a parts car, I didnt want to...

One of those lines goes to your emissions canister (if its still there) and the other line goes to your valve cover (right by the thermostat housing). Good Luck!

I feel a little silly- my temp sending unit (justy bought a new one) was hooked up backwards. The wiring connector was toast (dried up and such) so it just had some female spade connectors on it. It really helped the idle to set the TPS to .9 though, no more surge. Thankyou for your help! :)

The value I gave you is the adjustment when you're setting the TPS, it says to set it between .48 and .52 V. (so I set it at .5) Can you fill me in on the other numbers you gave me? (kinda lost me)

hey I'm from winnipeg I have a yellow talon (hence the name) any meets lately?

tps is set at .50

So here I go:This may seem trivial to you- but it took me 2 weeks of diagnosis to find my vacuum leak!I recentley installed a homemade intake manifold- built to as close as I could copy the magnus, and then the problems started. First off, huge flow difference. When I installed it it ran...
