I went to autozone today for my check engine light. I found out the code is po170. What would cause this code. The car seems to run fine and I cannot hear any leaks at all. The car gets bad gas mileage (17 mpg average). I have replaced the EGR valve and now The car sometimes has a high idle when...
The autozone thing, I know I was a little embarssed to go there and have them run the codes ROFL I wasnt going to buy one there I just wanted to figure out an idea of what it could be. I put an egr on from a parts car at my work. I will get the code number and come back here.
Nope it doesnt have a blown head gasket. It isnt going thorough oil or antifreeze. It doesnt leak a drop of anything at all. It doesnt smoke or really do anything. I havent had to add a single drop of oil from its last oil change (about 2800 miles ago) and no antifreeze since the motor was put...
actually the head is a full reman. the whole engine has about 2000 miles on it and was installed by a veterian mitsu mechanic. I was wondering if this would cause my mpg to be low. I am only getting 17 mpg with my car. It runs good but just eats gas.
Well im gonna confess I took it to Autozone and they scanned it. They said I needed a new one. I had one laying around from a car that came into my work and I replaced it. The car seemed to run better but after a while the check engine light came on. I really dont know what the code was is there...
My 1996 GSX that is 100% bone stock is going throught EGR valves. My orignal one threw a code up and when I removed it the bottom port was 100% clean with some liquid on it. The top port has some carbon around in the port but nothing too bad. I replaced it with another one and my car threw up...
I have a 1996 GSX that is 100% stock with no mods at all. I just replaced the engine in the car and finished it up. Well now I have been driving the car for a couple of weeks now and put about 500 to 600 miles in the car and now the transmission is acting up. This only happens every once in a...
These are all to my 1996 GSX and I am getting frustrated on there they go...Ok the first one is long and goes into the fire wall on the passenger side.

Hello all. I know this is not a DSM , but I really feel the need to post this. Nick Suckow had just gotten his charger stolen. the sad thing is, was that this car was done at John Balow's muscle car restorations for Nick Suckow who happens to be paralyzed from the neck down. it has a blown hemi...
Cool I was planning on doing the balance shaft delete. I was thinking of having the oil holes welded and smoothed out with the delete bearing in place. I bought a new timing belt, belt tensior, and timing belt idler from the stealership. Thank you for your advice i was wondering about those...
I have decided to rebuild the engine in my 96 GSX. The orignal problem with the engine was a spun rod bearing on #2 cyl. I am going to do a full rebuild ( refurbish the crank and rods, and reman the head). Is there any advice that could be given to me so I have a problem free rebuild? I have...
Im rebuilding my short block in my 1996 eclipse and need some guidence about machine work on the block and crank. My car spun a bearing and I need to get the crank turned .10 to .20 and have the block gone through. Im just looking for a stock rebuild for the old girl but would like a shop that...
Ok from what I understand I have to change a ton of wiring, brackets, and retune the car for a 6bolt engine? I really dont want to get into wiring and computer tuning a car. Is that true? I might do the six bolt conversion but I really need to know 100% what is involved because I read another...
Well I finally got the pan off my 1996 Eclips GSX and found that the balance shaft let go and shot shavings into the 2nd rod bearing and spun the bearing. Now I am looking at a rebuild or purchasing a reman short block. I am leaning more towards rebuilding the engine and would need some tips on...
Ok I know this may sound like a stupid question but how many balance shafts are in my engine. I took the timing cover off and only saw the one pulley in the front of the engine. Is there another one near the top of the engine? Do I have to pull the engine to do the balance shafts or the delete...
The reasoning behind buying new balance shafts was this car is going to be my daily driver. I heard that deleting the balance shaft make the engine vibrate horribly. I just would like it for comfort. I mean hey if its not that bad of a vibration then I would be all over the eliminator kit, but...
Really, sweet, I was hoping the balance shaft were making the noise in the engine. I was going to maybe go order new balance shafts at the dealer. what else should I get? maybe a new oil pump?
Oh my thank you that helps a ton. Its pulley number five. That nut and bolt poked through and broke the chunk out of my timing cover. Is that a balance shaft?
Im sorry but my problem with my car is not resolved. I still have the problem with the bolt. When I said fixed it was refering to the post about retyping my question. sorry for the confusion. Can help
I have been working on my 1996 GSX to try and locate a knocking noise. While i was working on the car, i knoticed a hole punched through my timing cover from the inside out. The bolt is on a wheel that the timing belt moves. When i removed the timing cover the bolt looks like it is sticking out...
well the shavings in the oil are not bering type material. they stick to a magnet so it cant be copper bearings. How tough is it to replace balance shafts.
Hello there again. I am trying to figure out a knocking noise coming from my eclipse. I purchased it from my work (a salvage yard) when the shop said the motor was toast. Well i listened to it and its not a know it sounds like a slapping noise that goes with the engine speed. I did the old test...
I am just wondering if i got a good or ok deal. My car is a 1996 Eclipse GSX. 125,xxx miles and its a automatic. Its fully loaded with leather, sunroof, cd player and etc. Its in really good shape and has never been moddified or anything. It does have a knock (jury is still out on it) but i...
I completely agree about the auto part :barf: all my other cars are sticks well except my fleetwood and truck. My 70 cuda and 71 superbee are all sticks and wouldnt have them any other way. I really wish it was about 6 years ago. The salvage yard i work has at one time 6 to 7 1 gen. talons and...
yeah it needs a motor (i think it makes funny noises) it was a one owner car and was given to the daughter who proceeded to hurt the motor. Sorry about the no motor shot its bone stock. I dont know much about these cars, if it was a big block mopar i would know right away but not with these, i...

I have a 96 GSX turbo car that has a rod knock (at least thats what i think it is lol) well i have been trying to find stock rebuilt short blocks but no one seems to sell them. I am not looking for something that makes huge horse or anything because this car is a daily driver (i.e bone stock)...
Yes thank you so much. i will check that website out. Im just trying to get a idea what my options are and see if anyone know and cheats for these cars. Thank you for your paitents with me moderator. :thumb:
Im sorry i know this also is a basic question but what type of engine is in my eclipse. I know its a 2.0 turbo but there is a fancy name that is used alot. Im just wondering what is in it?
Ok so what would you guys do in my situtation. i am keeping the car stock but i really want it to have a bullet proof bottom half so i never have this happen again. Does anyone make reasonably price short blocks. I have a budget of $1000 to fix the engine. I just want a reliable car for me and...
Hello again. I am the new proud owner of a bone stock 1996 Eclipse GSX AWD. I purchased the car with a knocking motor. We a friend of mine know a guy that autocrosses Eclipses and Neon SRT4's. He said he can fix my factory motor or he can sell me a 6 or 7 bolt (i think) engine that stronger then...
Hello there
I am new to this site and the whole Eclipse thing. I just purchased my first 1996 Eclipse GSX. I am usually into older mopar muscle cars (i own a 70 "cuda thats my baby):laser: and purchased this car as a daily driver. The car is 100% stock and really want to keep it that way. Well...
