I was talking to the local station here in Mass, they have 10,000 calls a year with 8 stations and a first due 1970's tiller! They rock the Q hard on intersections :)
hey, well i went away for the weekend and when i came back needing to drive to school my car won't start. My laser fwd will crank and has enough fuel but will not fire up. When i left on thursday it was fine. I dont know if the large amount of rain has anything to do with this.
I have...
Yeah, really stupid question, my sidemarker's plastic clips broke. So i taped it. It falls out. I was thinking rocking no sidemarker (crazy outside the box Ish NOT) anyway i was just wondering if water was to seep in could i possibly have problems? Again its a stupid question but i would...
i have to agree, but as you stated it wasnt all for looks, im sure it functions just as well as any other gauge holder. Props on the creativity.

well, i'm going to give the cap change another shot.... THe thing is, that in the back of my mind i keep wondering if there is an electrical demon living inside my car.... thanks
andrew
Well this problem REALLY seems to come back and haunt me when its moist/rainy out?? its really a mind boggling thing. I am between a rock and a hard place. I don't have much money. My mechanic said he changed the relay. And now when i asked another mechanic said it is a fuel relay problem...
Hey, got a quick question. When i drive my 92 Laser rs with an upgraded Clutchmaster 6-Puck Sprung Clutch, when i go from 1st to second i get a minor grind. It happens on and off. It doesnt really bother me other then the fact that the problem will probably grow into a much larger event. It...
Well, i went to community communications on Fair Lawn ave and he replaced the capacitors for $46. I leave very happy. It runs fine for two days then bam. I get the same clicking and hesitant starting. This is getting frustrating...
i fixed it, im sorry that i keep asking the same problem. Ive been looking at used ecus. I guess thats my best bet. If anyone in NNJ wants to let me borrow the ecu and let me test it i guess that it will be my best bet..
thanks
andrew
Alright, i had new capacitors put onto my ecu. THe electronic guy told me that they were leaking. He said he put a larger capacitor on that will be better. He said it would be ok. Anyway, there was leakage on the solenoid. SHould i replace it? Anyway, as of right now in New Jersey we're...
As title says, im in need of someone/some place to change my capacitors. Im in Bergen COunty and want to get this fixed asap, as my car now is not working! Does anyone know a place to get this done, such as a tv shop or some electronics place? Any suggestions. I figured this is a correct...
could this be a bad fuel pump?
Also could a large boost leak (though i dont think i have one) cause this?
Im really running around here not knowing what the problem is.
Also my mechanics book on this car states the n/t has a spark plug gap of .028-.030 and for the turbo .038-.043 !!! isnt...
::UPDATE::
ok, ive taken the car to my mechanic. So he first just trys to get the car running he changed the plugs and other small things, like new fuel filter etc. So then i tell him about the ecu and how they all can possibly have leaky capacitors. He takes out teh ecu and no leakage what...
well first off, i would have to suggest a gst (fwd turbo) or gsx (awd turbo) THose will get you 300hp In no time. If you get a n/t you will most likely need to fab up a turbo kit. It has been done i even beleive there is a DIY in the tech forums. You should look for as close to stock as...
ebay turbos have not gotten a very good rep. There have been many posts on this. Ebay FMIC are decent. THe turbo's havent lasted too longhttp://dsmtuners.com/forums/search.php?searchid=2172094
so if my car does have the leaking capacitor, should i buy a used ecu or do i have to go new? im sorry for the lack of intelligence in my posts.
thanks

alright, well i have not driven the vehicle much, so i decide to take her for a small spin. i stopped at a store. I let it cool etc. Icome back out and i crank it up. well i crank it and it starts, but then the idle will not get up. It studders. It then wont stay on, it will just die... it...
alright, so i havent driven it in a good day or so. This morning i take her out. At first when i turn it on, the idle is at 1200rpm! This is definately incorrect. THen i decide to take it slow. I drive it nice and slow always shifting before 3000rpm. i come to a few stop signs and my idle...
could it be a combo of possible bad spark plugs/wires and the abcense of the afpr? One question is why now is it just starting, i drove it during the weekend and it was fine. I bring it to the body shop and it doesnt seem the same. Of course i cant do anything about this. I think im just...
ok, so the trans i believe is my fault, im just inexpierence and need practice. I took her for a nice light drive, just cruising, not passing 3500rpm (when i hit full boost) and it did fine, but then all of a sudden, at around 2800rpm in 3rd, it just stalled, i'm in the middle of traffic and...
it seems to be recirculated crushed 1g bov. All this is helpful, but what can i do to make this run decent for the time being? As for the trans i will give an example: i will come to a stop at a light, it seems if i have the clutch in while waiting, then go to put it into gear it will grind...
Alright, ive searched, but this is more a desperate/angry/upset post. So i purchased a 1g fwd laser turbo, it has b16g with all the supporting mods. My first problem is, lets say its in neutral and i give it some gas, it revs then the idle gets real low. Im talkin the 700-800 rpm. (as stated...
hey, i searched for a/c, and a/c delete, and air conditioning, and nothing really came up. Ok heres the deal. People delete the a/c units. My quick question is, when people usually remove the a/c what do they USUALLY take out. Im not familiar with a/c units. So if you can break it down into...
why does it seem like im always looking at the same cars you do haha. Im sick of the rebuilt cars, i just want a stock 91 tsi awd, but there are none aroUND!
