doing something wrong if its the 4th motor.Do everything carefull. Plan out your moves, do not jump into this job, engine removal and installment is theoretically very simple because its just r/r but there is alot to it...get a buddy that is very mechanically inclined and that you can trust...

Just another control freak....probably doing the same thing on another forum, talking sarcastic shit.

Engine temperature could indicate that it is something to do with a gasket not sealing right. Due to expansion something may not sit right as if it was cold... Although it could be something to do with cps. ITs a toss up though. Volkswagen has an issue like this on 2.0l 4cyls, whenever engine...

You probably need a smoke tester to find the vaccum leak if there is one. Pulling vac lines will take forever and your can damage ones that are still ok since its an old car. Maybe you know a garage that can smoke test it for you? I dont know of many ppl in your area that have a smoke tester but...

something wasnt done right....or cheap parts were used. Let it sit around and do it right the first time, get opem tensioner, greddy tbelt. Dont spend alot on the head unless you are heading for a recond hp......And if you dont already have it on, put the DAMN TIMING COVER ON, who ever runs...

thanks for the input i think 2k sound fair for it. Body is very clean... We'll see what happens.

Have been far out of the DSM scene for a number of years.. Sold my last two 90 GSX and 93 TSi two years ago. Have been huge into BMW lately..maybe because I work for them :) Cant afford the 50k tag of a 335i this year. Anyways a friend of mine has a 1995 GSX Automatic w 108k that he somehow...

Bank 1 and 2 on inline engines is bank 1= 1 2 3 bank 2=4 5 6. Its not only to decifer V design engines.As stated above there is probably a vaccum leak. possibly in your Evap system. The inline 6 4.0s are also somewhat common to have small leaks at intake manifold gaskets because the exhaust...

It all sucks but remember car is 20 years old.. Give it some love when you get a chance dont expect a car like this to be a very reliable dailyd without some attention to certian things that could create a massacre. Your t case is an easy fix if its your rear seal thats done in a drive way in 20...

330Ci isnt a bad car although it is anything but an M3. M54 engine is still strong enough to keep you busy holding down the rear wheels though and it does come 6-speed manual also. The exterior can be matched to look exactly like an M3. Suspension is a difficulty though. Aside from the strut...

lol forsure, if it rains theres a guranteed accident somewhere...I see one almost everyday lately because of the rain...

Well thats a no brainer....E46 M3...no SMG though.SMG of that model have thier issues with both mechanical and electrical. If you decide to use launch mode more than 5-6 times then say good bye clutch, and it is anything but cheap to replace you need special tools to replace it also, BMW...

^^^you dont want a FWD5 1990 Eagle Talon TSi AWD- Was bone stock, bought as a donor car but it didnt make it to the vehicle, engine blew timing belt in my driveway :( 1994 Eagle Talon DL- 2nd car when i was 16! 250k miles when I bought it, blew timing belt, put another one on and it...

Im surprised Massachusetts isnt # 3. It definately isnt as bad as NYC but close to it in Boston. Florida is also pretty shitting driving, gotta be the hot ass weather lol

Hah thats shit luck man. Saabs are pretty nice cars, very reliable and the turbo models have plenty of power. They also react well to modifications... Massachusettes drivers haha!

^^240sx silvia lights? doesnt look that badHonda dont want to be Eclipses. Just a very good competitor thats all. Im glad someone did step up and gave the strongly bashed Hondas some credit. They can make one hell of an engine, maybe better or at least the same as a 4g63 but they just...

IF HIGHPSI is correct and the transmission code is 5FM21 for the 5-Speed maual in a 1.8L then the final drive ratio is 4.322 which is the same exact ratio that the 2.0L N/T transmission has. Cannot find anything else on this trans.Why dont you get adjustable cam gears so you can fine tune...

if there is air in the system you wouldnt be getting fuel.If the plugs are wet you probably dont spark or maybe not enough spark to fire the fuel. Check for spark. Make sure the resistance in the wires is within spec, you might of broken them by pulling them back and forth while doing the...

A very healthy set of vice grips should do. Irwin makes some really small bolt extractors that you can pound on to the nut, their also known as turbo sockets. Snap-on makes a better one but most of their turbo sockets are a little bulkier because of impact grade, so they may not fit..Worst...

Just did a couple wiki and google searches. Not too certian but you probably have a mid to late 80s Mitsubishi L300 (Delica). Reading from a few sources, I got the impression that they do come with a 4G64, there are also a few other engines it had but the 2.4L was a 4g64. Apperently they are...

a wasteofalife with too much time on his hands.

Fix it correctly this time. Not saying that you are incapable of doing it right by yourself, just get a second opinion on your repairs from experienced techs or someone with more knowledge to make sure your repairs are correct. This is just to save you the hassel of pulling the motor...again...

Good movie. Story line was surprisingly decentAlot of spanish people went to watch the movie at the theater I went to. They laughed everytime the two domninican dudes in the truck yelled at eachother...I guess that was amusing.Alot of ricers in the parking lot. I went to see it in...

seems like you may have some electrical damage done to the ECU because I believe those are fuel pump and MFI relayshttp://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/276071-mfi-fuel-pump-relay.htmlheres a link to a thread concerning the relay, hope it helps

Really sounds like a spun rod bearing. It seems to run fairly smooth though, usually that doesnt happen but it may just be your engine.Dont run it anymore because you will spread metal shavings throughout the motor and damage camshafts, oil pump and etc...if you havent already. Drop the pan...

No as said in his profile it is not vented.Are you pulling too much on the safc that your lean? Possible spark plug gap problem? Boost leak could cause it with too much air rushing in. Plugs fouled, how does it run at full throttle? Start with the simplicity.

I'm glad someone mentioned about the direct injection on these cars....what they have is basically a tamed down version of the BMW 335i. The direct injection on these engines require an additional mechanical fuel pump to keep up with the pressure of in excess of 2200psi...like the older...

You may be right or maybe wrong.. what your saying makes good sense. Although the Galant VR-4 did fail to a point. Nobody wanted a goofy looking car with such performance..Now its a gem...to DSMers because it is so rare and has a unique look. I personally do think the Challenger will give a...

Making a car in coupe or 4-door sedan "saloon" style doesnt change the vehicle. Yes its probably a difference in body shape, weight and some interior parts, but an M3 is an M3 2 door or 4, same goes for g37 and etc. IF Mitsubishi did make a 2 door Evo, that wouldnt be a big deal because its...

Just because YOU wouldnt buy an EVO doesnt mean that others wouldnt. They are designed for a certian part of the market but so is the Eclipse, not many 50 year olds want to whip a ricey looking fwd sedan..although there are exceptions.Subaru is known for its awd just like BMW is known for...

Agreed with DMC as #1....red devil im jealous as hell

Looks very sharp...A very surprising step for Hyndai because they always seemed to stay away from performance and always tried to keep reliablity and price of their vehicles in mind. Being RWD I dont think it will do all too well in sales up north because of retarded drivers that cannot handle...

lol... its a forum relax.Most mobile homes are ment to be put up once, and once only. They are not ment to be moved around from place to place, they are just like any home are pieced together, maybe not very well and only with 2x2 construction but they are not of a fold out structure. When...

Same motor...sort of pointless. Only cool factor with this is that youll have pride in your work since you did it yourself, thats about it. This really sounds like Honda swapping to me....switching out a B18C1 to a TypeR B18 to gain what... 20 hp and 1ftlb? pointless. Find a blown up evo 8 and...

Same as topic. have a cracked housing and need the car running. All I have is a 97 parts car. This is on a 1991 GSX

Dsm's will be as reliable as many average cars if they are taken care of and the maintenance is done on time.People that own them usually rev the shit out of them from stop light to stop light for fun, do that to a toyota corolla and come back and tell me its reliable. It will last longer...

should be a 30 day dealership warranty on the car..Is the car just revving but not moving any faster than 5mph? is it bogging?You could have a huge list of problems that could be simple or very difficult to repair. Check fluid, if so flush it, change filter. If that all fails, possibly...

It all depends on how its driven, built and with what parts...I drove and still drive my Big16g at 20psi daily 100 mile round trip with no problems, take care of the car and it will take care of you!!! DSMs are not shit boxes that break daily, its the drivers and their age that makes them...

haha I just graduated UTi. Great school... but its what you make of it. AnywaySomething simple like a hose is nothing... the car is 13 years old and just had a simple hose break. Relax. My friends Integra burned a valve at 114k...sounded like a subaru for a few days lol. Just because its a...

25-35 I belive

The truck will be good transportation for quite longer than the eclipse. You still have to remember it will probably need some decent maintenace at around 50-60k. Reliablity wise its a no brainer though. The truck will last twice as long as the eclipse that is not ment to have a turbo on it...

haha the black one has two polyurethain motor mounts and the red on has one, the only one the black one doesnt have lol LOLI wouldnt bother with these piles. Endless project and even if you get them to run there will still be random odds and ends missing. For 2000 you can get a decent...

Check the cap, see if it is possibly cracked, missing screws that hold it on ( happend to my friends integra). Check the inside of the cap see if the little conductors are burnt up and old. Check rotor for damage, make sure everything is nice and clean underneith. Rotor and cap will probably...

take a volt meter switch it to ohms and check the wires for continuity. Could be stuck open injectors (you said they were covered...in what?) one was dry? possibly a dead cylinder? dead injector? broken ring in the cylinder causing loss of compression in that cylinder? may not be as easy fix as...

I apologize about brining this old and probably beaten up thread back up, but I just wanted to confirm on defiant's reply. MY car has been done back in 99 and again has this problem. Dealer refuses to do so because it has been done already. Is there a way I can get it done again?

Theres three metals that concern the junkyards in catalytic converters. Rhodium, Palladium and Platinum. Rhodium came in the OBDII cars to take care of NOX. Palladium and Platinum are the original two in the cats. They convert gases like Hydrocarbons and Carbon Monoxide by either stripping...

Need a vaccum gauge to test the vaccum in the engine, or even a boost gauge (with vac on it)

seems like you maybe missing a few parts out of the mechanism. When this happens try to put in in low or 3rd gear to see if it just popped out of drive. Possibly it could be doing that. If it launches that hard your torque converte should be in good shape, fluid pump in the front of the tranny...

those numbers are actually pretty good. A kid at my college just came back from the track yesterday and he ran a 14.6 at 100mph. 1990 GST 15psi dejon intake 3 inch turbo back trailerparkmade exhaust. He cannot drive worth shit either. I know yours is a 2g but its something to compare to atleast...

you have two separate lines going to one vacuum source. Blow off valves use spring tension and the loss off vacuum to hold the pressure in. Once the throttle is closed it equally sucks on both bov's and will open them both. Its all coming from the same source (intake manifold) so no you do not...
