  1. Spyder P0302 and fuel injectors

    I recently did a fuel injectors replacement and ended up with a P0302 (cylinder #2 misfire) with all kinds of driving symptoms associated with single cylinder misfire (and possibly running on 3 cylinders).Well today I went back to my old injectors and found the problem: A cracked O-ring...
  2. 2G DOT-3 as clutch fluid?

    I've been recently experiencing some strange clutch shifting symptoms, that I concluded was mainly about old/ exhausted clutch fluid. It's been the same fluid in there for 5+ years. Today I took out what was in the reservoir and replaced it with some SMB DOT-3 that I had around, which is...
  3. 2G Front roll stopper mount bracket (part #/ torque ?)

    Today I replaced my front engine roll stopper mount (rubber was broken and falling apart). To get all the holes to line up correctly, I temporarily loosened the 17mm bolts that attach the roll stop mount support bracket to the transmission. Does anyone know the name of this part (or part #)...
  4. 2G Alignments and eccentric toe bolt

    So after chewing through rear tires for about 5 years, I have now started to do my own alignments. I'm using two methods, the toe plate method and a laser level method I found on YouTube. I might also do a string alignment sometime. Both the front and the rear are now within specs (0.06 inch...
  5. 2G M/T - tire size difference ?

    What are the consequences of running different tire sizes on an M/T vehicle? What I have is an F5M31 (4G64), and currently there is a 205/55/16 on the front driver side wheel and a 205/60/16 on the front passenger side wheel. It's quite a large difference according to the tire size calculator...
  6. 2G G4JS head in 2G?

    Has anyone successfully installed a Huyndai G4JS head into a 1g or 2g, on a 4G63/64 block ? I see it's been done in the Evo and in 3Gs, but it seems like there could be other complications for a 2G. I find one or two threads on dsmtuners related to this, but no real details for doing this in a 2G.
  7. General Too much compression?

    As part of tracking down a recent cooling systems problem that cropped up, I did an engine compression test to check the HG. The numbers came out similar to what I got last time: 200-210psi. It’s possible that I need a new compression tester, but how much is excessive cylinder compression a...
  8. 2G Engine mount and stoppers

    Time for a newbie question: I replaced the front left engine mount in my Spyder GS a couple of days ago. I didn't have new stoppers and installed the mount without them. I've taken now the old stoppers, cut a slit into them and slid them over the main mount bolt area (picture attached). I...
  9. 2G What is this (suspension welding) ?

    This is something I discovered recently in my vehicle, after 2+ years of driving it. I think somehow some piece of metal that was covering it up broke off and now exposes what was underneath it. I guess at some point in the vehicle's history there was a collision in the FR wheel area and...
  10. 2G brake line/fitting leak

    This might be a semi-newbie question, but I'll post here: I was replacing the wheel cylinder in the driver's side rear wheel brakes a few days ago, which I still have as the drum brake setup. After putting it all back together, it's leaking from the fitting where the metal brake pipe goes into...
  11. General Intermittent exhaust leak

    I described in another thread how I have this intermittent exhaust leak that I can smell. A Seafoam treatment came up with nothing, so I've been looking around for other ways to find it. Now I actually took off the head 2X when working on the engine in 2013-14, and when I put it back together...
  12. 2G Diagnosing the diagnostic port

    I think there's something funny going on with my OBDII diagnostic port. About a week ago, my 10 year old code scanner stopped working. It looks like there's not enough power from the port to light the LED screen. But my bluetooth ELM327 adapter is working. I was thinking that the code...
  13. 2G Suspension concerns after axle shaft replacement

    I did recently an axle shaft replacement, and took apart the suspension on this car for the first time. After tightening up the suspension components and replacing the outer tie rod end, the handling and steering is just about back to what it was before the axle replacement. The steering and...
  14. 2G M/T drain plug socket ?

    I'm wondering, what type of wrench do people use on the 24mm drain plug? There seems to be no clearance at all to get in there with a normal socket and torque wrench. A combination or box wrench could work, but then there's no way to torque it when it goes back on. The only thing I can figure...
  15. 420A CV boot repair options

    My whole front left wheel area has multiple problems. The biggest one is: I opened it up a couple of weeks ago, and found that the outer CV boot was split and broken, and most/all of the grease had come out. Right now, what I have in there is some CRC CV joint grease, and a makeshift/ghetto...
  16. 2G front control arm bushings

    On one of my recent visits to a local tire/wheel shop for a "free check", they pointed out that one of my control arm bushings is going bad in the front driver's side wheel. It was either the one that bolt #5, or #7, goes through in this diagram.It's basically running and driving fine, but...
  17. Clutch/pedal adjustments needed ?

    So I ran into a funny symptom this morning: With the engine cold and just starting it up, the shifter would not go into any gear, and some grinding when I try to go into 1st or reverse. After warming it up and revving a few times it shifts fine. I haven't seen it quite like this before. It's...
  18. 2g cooling system electrical issues

    I'm currently diagnosing a tough nut of a cooling system problem. I can start and idle it for 20 mins with no problem, but I can only just drive it a few miles before it gets close to overheating. I think this is another mystery/ complex dsm problem with multiple causes, and I've done a few...
  19. Brake/battery light issue

    So it looks like I have some variation on the infamous Brake + Battery Light problem. I think I may have had it for a while, but only noticing it now, as it goes away on normal driving. A few details:It usually happens on cold start, occasionally on warm start. If I rev the engine to 1500+...
  20. strange m/t symptom - transmission cooler ?

    So I am now driving my first m/t vehicle, a '99 Eclipse Spyder GS with 160K miles. I've driven it now over 1K miles, but probably need to learn a few more things about driving a stick. Haven't yet taken it to a transmission shop to get it generally checked out, but this should happen soon...
  21. P0302 and +24 STFT at idle

    I revved up the engine a couple of days ago in neutral to 5K+ after an extended idle for just a few secs, and since then I've been having a rough idle problem. It eventually throws P0302 (cylinder #2 misfire) at idle and the STFT goes up to +24. Before this the fuel trim was a little high...
  22. EGR system not ready

    I'm in the process of tracking down some oil burning and emissions issues on this '99 Spyder I acquired recently. My Actron OBD-II scanner, which reads I/M readiness monitors, gets to "system ready" on all the available monitors except: EGR system monitor. I believe the EGR system can affect...
  23. what is this symptom (ignition-related?)

  24. wrong cat size ?

    Someone installed an incorrect catalytic converter part (Magnaflow 94004 instead of 91004) in my vehicle shortly after I acquired it. It's had high NOx emissions since, but I don't definitively know it's the cat. The 94004 is larger than the 91004 (12" instead of 9") and I've heard conflicting...
