Whenever I start my car, the first 5 minutes or so of driving, it bogs and has less power then normal. If I floor it when driving though(The first few min), it will go as fast as normal. This issue just seems to happen at partial throttle until it reaches normal operating temp. It feels like...

I have tried 3 brand new alternators and my car is not charging at all. Im measuring it from the alternator positive terminal (and also from the battery). As soon as I turn on the car the voltage starts to drop from 12V. Everything is hooked up right and the belt is not slipping. I have tried~...

I believe I am having a grounding problem. Where are the OEM grounds suppose to go? It looks like I only have the black with a yellow stripe one, that goes from the negative battery post, into the engine harness. I think I'm going to add one from the intake manifold to the frame and maybe...

I haven't ran my car in awhile, started it up the other day and power steering fluid started spraying/exploding out of the reservoir cap. It leaked a ton out all over the garage floor. I assume there is air in the lines so I took the cap off and was planning on starting the car and turning the...

I have replaced my alternator(it clearly went out). My car still would die after replacement and after awhile I figured out it was the wire that comes from the alternator to fuse box. I replaced it and got a new battery. It runs ok now but sometimes the headlights will dim and the dash will so I...

Im idleing at around 15 AFRs and under WOT its 11.0ish AFR's, but when i'm crusing at certain speeds(especially highway) and give the car partial throttle to get up to speed(hit maybe 6 or so PSI) it runs lean(17ish AFR's) and feels like its tugging a bit. Now if this happens and I give the car...

My car is overheating and running lean(17-17ARFs then off the wideband) this happens at crusing RPMs and especially higher speeds(highway) or even going up a hill and I get into boost.(it also kind of dogs or tuggs when this happens) The Temp gauge slowly climbs when this happens and the egnine...

So I snapped a head bolt( #1 the first one I was putting in) turns out the torque wrench was broken and I just kept going and it broke.(wasent even really wrenching on it hard) I got the bolt out and everything(it snapped in the middle). My question is can I re-use the new head gasket that I put...

I'm in the process of doing my head gasket, and was wondering how much to torque the head bolts down, and then re torque them to(how ever many times, specs, and order.) Im to the part of taking the head bolts out. Got an OEM head gasket from Mitsubishi with OEM head bolts. This is a 1996 GSX. Or...

Im trying to find OEM headstuds for my headgasket job on oemmitsubishiparts.com but cant find them from searching. Anyone know the part number? its for a 1996 GSX

My car is running lean while crusing only, especially on the highway. It will go from 14's to 15's to 18's then not even register on the wideband gauge and the car will start tugging. No boost leaks. Under WOT the AFR's are fine. Also the car will run a lot hotter while crusing when this...

What size are the 2 bolts that hold on the hydraulic tensioner? I seem to have lost them while doing a timing belt job.

My car is leaking coolant(dripping) only once I start the car and it warms up a bit. When I shut it off it stops. I pulled off all the timing covers and alternator, and it doesent look like its coming from the water pump(thats what I thought it was) but there is no sign of coolant around it...

I was on my way home and my car just stalled....it made a weird noise like the timing belt snapping.....checked the timing belt and its fine....then I noticed that the oil return line from the oil pan to the turbo must have got hit cause it was scuffed/creased and there was a hole in it(its an...
