Hey guys, just trying to figure out what’s these plugs are for. They were connected to the auto engine harness before it being pulled. These plugs are located on passenger side bottom of dash behind. This is a 91 eagle talon awd auto. Thanks in advance!

(6-BOLT) Everything was fine correct, everything is new and is OEM besides the gates belt (not OEM) I am thinking it’s possibly the tensioner arm bushing that’s probably worn. I’ve seen couple of other builds with the belt sitting more on side (inner side). Wondering if this is ok to run? Or...

Hey looking to see if anyone has successfully used a dump valve on an auto trans? I know Kevin @kighly did some testing years ago but not much info on it.

Hello fellow dsm’ers i just finished doing a timing job on my 6-bolt w/ 1.6MM Cometic mls head gasket and was wondering if the tensioner pulley is pointed correctly ? I’ve seen mix reviews from it having to point up (the two holes on pulley) and on vfaqs showing it being the way I did it (in...

Hello, I have cams that came off a fresh motor, noticed the intake cam end (where the cas enters) has a deep scratch on the middle of journal / lobe. The rest looks good. My machine shop did polished it a bit for me and said isnt a big deal since it’s under but I would like a second opinion. Thanks!

Yet another bad idle post....My Galant VR4 that I bought earlier this year (and had a plethora of issues with it that I have been solving 1-by-1) is having issues with its idling. When the engine is cold, the car doesn't even start or idle without me pumping the gas and holding it above 800rpm...

Heys guys quick question I have a B&M automatic ratchet shifter - pro ratchet, any one using that? I am looking for the correct aftermarket size shift cable needed for a 1G DSM.

FIRST OFF! I would like to give a HUGE thanks to DSM tuners for supplying such a great platform for me to figure out how to build this car! legit I couldn't have done it without dsmtuners and some select members! weather it was wiring problems, engine building components, fuel system, engine...

Got a quick/noob question, how are kelfords 272 (KEL 1-TX272) cams with these auto dsms? Recently bought a 1g dsm has a built head with those cams, dual springs, jmf street intake, s90 74mm throttle body & 6266 pte billet wheel. Gotta put it together but will these cams work with this trans...

I've been having rough idling issues on my 30 year old Talon TSi so I'm taking everything apart on the intake, fuel rail & exhaust, cleaning everything and painting where called for, and replacing all the gaskets, o-rings, bolts, studs, washers & nuts, along with the vacuum lines. Probably...

Recently the top radiator hose on my '92 Talon TSi came off due to a broken inlet pipe, and coolant spilled everywhere. There was enough pipe left to reattach the hose so I topped the remaining coolant off with tap water just to get back home.I've since ordered a new aluminum radiator and...

It's on my '92 Talon TSi along the rear-facing side of the intake plenum, towards the bottom and around the middle:It's probably been like this for years, unconnected to anything. Not sure that that wiring conduit contains inside. When I bought the car nearly 30 years ago, I had a local...

I'm looking at the large air intake hoses that connect the air box, turbo, bypass valve and throttle body on my '92 Talon TSi, and some of them appear to be showing signs of cracking near where they're clamped. I'd like to replace some of them, especially the turbo-bypass one, but I can't seem...

I'm pretty sure I know the answer, just making sure. The top inlet neck that the upper water hose clamps onto on my '92 Talon TSi broke the other day, probably due to a combination of being 30 years old and my leaning on it while working in the engine bay.The neck is around 1.5" long and about...

Some of the vacuum hoses on my Talon are looking a bit worse for wear and it would probably be a good idea to replace them. I got a loaner vacuum test kit from Autozone that I intend to use to see if there are any leaks, plus I got a stethoscope to double check everything. But even if it all...

The speakers on my 1G DSM are randomly not working. The rears haven't worked in years. I pulled the radio out today and tried to pull and reinsert the 2 connectors on the rear, and that helped a bit, but I still can't get audio to all 6 speakers consistently (2 dash, 2 doors, 2 rears). Jiggling...

I'm about to place a semi-large order for a bunch of parts for my '92 Talon TSi AWD and am also about to overhaul the entire rear end, replacing bushings, ball joints, connectors, etc., cleaning, derusting & painting everything, etc. So I'm wondering if I also need to replace the wheel bearings...

I'm soon going to be removing nearly everything that's connected to my '92 Talon TSi's intake and exhaust, e.g. intake manifold, throttle, fuel rail & injectors, exhaust manifold & turbo, etc. The car's been having some moderate rough idle issues and I figure that it's time to take everything...

I'm not sure if I'm using the correct terminology. What I mean is what kinds of individual metal connectors, male and female, terminate the various wires that go into the actual plastic connectors, male and female, that connect various sensors and actuators to the wiring harness?Yesterday...

I'm about to diagnose an idle surge issue with my '92 Talon TSi and will be thorough given the age of the car, and use the opportunity to replace aging parts even if they're not yet failing, e.g. gaskets, o-rings, hoses, etc. I intend to remove the throttle body to inspect it and the various...

I tried to refill my '92 Talon TSi AWD's tank a few days ago and several odd and worrying things happened.First, the pump clicked off at what seemed like too low a gallon count. The tank holds just under 16 gallons and the fuel low light had been on for at least 5-10 miles by then, and it...

Yes, I realize that several already exist and are very mature, reliable and respected, but they're for tuners, of which I'm not one nor likely to become one any time soon. Way above my current pay grade and my stock 1G DSM. Plus they're kind of pricey.Rather, I'm looking to build a fairly...

I've been prepping for an overhaul of the rear end on my '92 Talon TSi AWD that I'm hoping to complete this spring, that I started a year and a half ago, it. On my first pass I removed as much rust and crud as I could from the control and trailing arms and painted them, with everything but the...

Around a year ago I replaced the clutch, pressure plate, TOB & slave on my '92 AWD Talon TSi, and a few months ago I rebuilt its manual trans, took it completely apart and replaced a bunch of stuff, tapered bearings, 1-2 hub/sleeve, 1-4 springs & keys, 4 out of 5 shims, some bolts, etc. I also...

This is a common dilemma so sorry if it's been asked and answered but I haven't been able to find a definitive answer. In preparation for replacing the water pump and thermostat (along with the TB, pulleys, seals, etc.) on my 1G Talon, I first dumped out the ancient coolant (properly, into a...

As everyone here knows I recently rebuilt the manual trans on my '92 Talon TSi AWD. It was actually a '94 AWD trans as the dealer swapped it out back then due to some issues I vaguely recall with shifting into 2nd or 3rd. I rebuilt it because it kept popping out of 1st and was sometimes grinding...

Really basic question that I can't find a definitive answer to, perhaps because it's gen/model-specific. On my '92 Talon TSi AWD, to loosen the alternator so I can replace the belt, there are 3 bolts. 2 are to adjust the tension and I know where those are.The third is to loosen the alt's pivot...

I'm about to replace all the timing-"associated" parts on my '92 Talon TSi AWD, e.g. TB, BB, pulleys, tensioner, WP, seals, belts, thermostat, etc., and realized that it's probably time to replace the harmonic balancer as well. It was replaced after the original one failed just over 18 years...

I took my Talon out for a short drive the other day, still gingerly testing out my recent trans rebuild. Everything went fine and I thought it was time to get it on the highway, if only briefly. One exit, and it performed fine through all forward gears. A bit under a mile from home, though...

Self-explanatory. I'm about to replace the TB, BB & 3 accessory belts along with all the pulleys, tensioners and water pump. All OEM except the BB, which is Gates Racing, and WP, which is Aisin. OEM is pretty expensive and Aisin is not, but highly rated.I'm using the upgraded OEM kevlar belt...

When I bought my '92 Talon TSi I had a local security and sound system shop install what was then a fairly sophisticated alarm and remote system, by Clifford IIRC. I disconnected it years ago because of false alarms in the middle of the night and its draining the battery, but IIRC it had motion...

When I'm done rebuilding and reinstalling the manual trans on my '92 Talon TSi AWD, I intend to disassemble most of the rear suspension and driveline components in order to replace the 4 control arm ball joints and bushings, 2 sway bar bushings and link connectors, and 3 rear diff seals, as well...

Yep, yet another thread asking about which parts to get for a complete timing belt job. I'm currently in the final stages of rebuilding the manual trans on my '92 Talon TSi AWD and when it's done I'm going to tackle the TB job. I'll be replacing everything, both belts, idlers, tensioners, front...

So I got my stacks reassembled with new parts and did the solder method yesterday, but many of the measured values seemed way off. Then I realized that I might have done it wrong.What I did was first install all new or removed bottom (closest to clutch/engine/bellhousing) races into the case...

There's an oil (or possibly steering fluid) leak around the oil pan near the driver's side area. I'm not sure if it's the pan seal, oil cooler, pump or something else. I cleaned everything earlier this year and the car only has a few hundred miles on it since, so it's a fair-sized leak that I...

Once I'm done rebuilding the trans on my '92 Talon TSi AWD manual and take care of clutch and shifter slop issues, I intend to swap out some rear end suspension parts, specifically all 4 ball joints, the sway bar links and the sway bar and control arm bushings (I already rebuilt the strut...

So I finally got around to dropping the trans on my '92 Talon TSi AWD and took it apart. To my novice eyes it looks to be in good condition, no broken gears, forks or pieces of metal or major shavings, maybe a few tiny case slivers that might have been caused by taking it apart. It needs a good...

As many here know I've been restoring my sub-78k miles manual trans '92 Talon TSi AWD for some time now, and it's finally time to fix the trans, the main issue being its popping out of 1st gear most of the time. I replaced the clutch last year, with a SBC Stage 2 DD kit, with the intention of...

So I have a 1G 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse Fwd. I’ve been trying to figure out fuel problems. But usually when your working with fuel the car with crank. Just not turn over. I have a video of the sound it makes when you try to turn the key to start the car. I’m trying to find the fuel presssure...

hello, I have read through a lot of post about idle surge, but my test are not bringing me to isolate the cause.This is the first time this engine has ran after a full rebuild. The CAMs are: Intake 264 and Exh 272 HKS.The ECM is 92 AWD 4G63T (stock)The IAC is new (replaced) and the TPS...
