    1G Cyl 3 spark, fuel, compression but no fire

    After swapping a unknown but supposedly freshly rebuilt long block into my 94 Talon ES 2.0NT, I’m having an odd issue with cylinder #3 not firing at all.What I’ve tested/tried: Full 150+ psi compression on all cylinders Plug wire is making plenty of spark Injector has been swapped out with...

    Issue with power

    Lucky!! Could've been WAY worse.

    Issue with power

    Did you check the fuse panel under the drivers side dash area and under-hood? It sounds like you could have blown a ground off something. You need to make sure those fuses are actually getting 12v to one side and the other is a chassis ground. Sounds like a couple hours with a continuity tester.

    Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    By acidic sound, could that have been some coolant burning off the exhaust somewhere? Was your coolant overflow tank full? Also, what about the thermostat? Is it stock or have your checked? I might be sticking. Pretty common with those cars.

    Best way to install/insert 5th gear

    Well I ran out of patience (very easily on a Sunday evening) and ended up tapping it on. It wasn't going without a fight so that's what I gave it. GENTLY, tapped with a 24mm socket + shop rag in between the gear and socket. Make sure you're centered and be careful with that collar!It always...

    Best way to install/insert 5th gear

    Any luck yet? I'm having the same exact issue with my Evo 3 5th gear from Jacks. The new intermediate gear just won't start on the shaft. The stock part fits snug but at least starts surely.The yellow painted/rough side goes in toward the bell housing side of the trans. Sounds like your bad...

    Thanks to everyone for showing up on Sunday. Despite the rain, we had a decent turn out - I think there was around 10?? of us there.Feel free to post pics (COLE!) if you took any...so I can photoshop my car in there and pretend it runs worth a crap!

    Well we're not getting any cooperation from the weather today, it's already pissin' here and windy as hell. I guess we should've had it yesterday...I sure won't hold it against anyone for not showing up, but if you want to come out, I'll be in the garage regardless. http://g.co/maps/4mj4b...

    Hard knocking from camshaft area

    You say it's a knock from the camshaft area, is it more of a high pitched ticking sound? A lot of guys confuse lifter tick with bottom end issues.If you want to rule that out: Lifter VFAQ http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-engine-fuel/365986-diy-lash-ajusters-lifters-cleaning.html

    red interior leds

    Yeah...what he said!But I'll admit it, used to rock those cheesy blue painted bulbs. But then I upgrade to all white LEDs. This is probably the best interior mod you can do IMO, check out this thread: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/vendor-announcements/429326-all-leds-discounted.html

    Tell me what you think of the color.

    +1 for a clean engine, the blue really stands out, but probably won't stand up to the heat; at least the manifold won't. It's gonna smell awesome when you first heat it up! Anyways, it will be interesting to see what happens, please post a pic after you've ran it for 5000 mles!
  32. awd_some

    Manifold which one too choose?

    The problem with the "race" tubular welded manifolds are just that. It's welded steel that's not going to last very long due to the extreme heat. The 2G manifolds are pretty solid really. Port it for cheap and save money for an exhaust. That stock exhaust and cat will be a bigger restriction and...

    Lowering a dsm AND having a soft ride, how?

    It depends mostly on how low you wanna go and the spring rate. I run the Eibach pro-kit which might be the least amount of drop besides the H&R springs. Coupled with Koni yellows at their softest setting rides pretty close to stock IMO. Adjusted around half is perfect for me and anything above -...

    FWIW, I'm running 10w30 synthetic. I'll play around with different weights this season... I have noticed the oil pressure stays pretty high even after idling for awhile.

    where can i find the original pieces

    +1 for all he said. For junkyards, guys around here spend a lot of time at Pick n Pull or U-wrench it when I lived on the East coast. Not sure what's available in SoCal but I'd guess there's alot. That's WAY cheaper then the stealership.

    does anyone have the answer to this

    Good informative post. I just installed an oil pressure gauge and see 20-25psi warm (coolant = 210-225*F) at idle, 900 rpm. Is this an alarmingly high?

    Wideband selection

    The 14point7 SLC 2 has by far the most options out there. It's not widely popular yet but was created to be the best and IMO is.

    Boost Guages

    +1 on the Innovate.Honestly having the wideband alone isn't good for much other than an early warning, without the capability to actually tune the car. Even then, if you can't log and line up the RPM with the wideband data, it's still useless. I see so many guys with fancy $$ wideband...

    WTB: 420a Head in Good Condition or a Set of Vavles

    It's a 30 day $ refund if the part isn't what you want. So you'd have a month to get it checked after you pull it. I wouldn't even mess with a rebuild if you're keeping it stock.
