    420A 2g GS sputtering issue 2k-4k rpms

    Hey Y'all! I have been having this really odd sputtering issue for quite a while now, and have tried a few things to try and fix it with no luck.The car has a really weird sputter in between 2k-4k rpms, higher or lower it goes away. On top of that the car seems to completely shut off while...

    1G 1.8 high idle

    My 1.8 idles fairly high at 1.1-1.5, whether it's warm or cold, at stop lights or in a parking spot. I was reading on some older forums and someone who had the same issue fixed it with an IAC replacement, does anyone know a good source for them at a reasonable price? Every source I found has...

    ECMlink 1G ECMLink V3 Idle issues once up to temp

    So recently I've been dealing with some really annoying idle surge/ISC/lean idle issues.I thought I had it all worked out by switching some parameters back to stock/recommended. I replaced the ISC as well. It had been doing it right upon start up, but after swapping it out. it started idling...
  4. 1G Just bought my first 1g Eclipse and it will start with pedal held down but will not idle

    I trying to get the car to idle, it turns over and if hold the gas down a little it will run. It will not idle, It has HKS VPC/GCC on it. The person i bought it from said it has a turn on the EPROM.I found cylinder 2 has 80 psi for compression and 1, 3 and 4 are at 160psi. I smells like it...

    2G 95 Eclipse GST with very rough idle and rough driving before 2k. Also extremely lean mixture at those rpms

    Hi, I know this might be answered in another post, but I didn't found one with my specific situation or data. The car has this intermittent problem where sometimes it can idle, but most of the time when it warms up the idle starts to fail.When the failure occurs, the air temperature rises to...

    2G Engine stalling constantly

    Over the past couple weeks my car has been idling weirdly but now whenever I shift into neutral to stop, the rpm drops super low and it stalls. At the start of a drive it catches it but not super well and it gets worse and worse till it's stalling at almost every stop. I can prevent it from...

  8. 1G 1991 Laser 2.0L NA won't idle and sounds horrible

    hello all, I was driving on the freeway a few weeks ago when all of a sudden my rpm gauge dropped to 0 and I lost all engine power and wouldn't start again. Long story short I figured it was the crankshaft angle sensor since the engine was still spinning (I have a manual and it was still in gear...

    420A High idle

    I took of the battery and tray to get through to the fill plug for the transmission. Couldn't get it off that way, so I put the battery back in to get the car lifted up again. Now its revving to 2000rpm on it's own, itll jump to 2300rpm when I start it. It goes down to normal, then after a bit...

    1G Idling at 2450RPM

    This might be a little lengthy so I apologize in advance, but I want to give everything I know so far. I've been through about 20 idle threads by now but I just wanted to see what advice I might benefit from as well that wasn't already included in most threads.For starters, almost everything...
  11. 2G Trying to fix this idle issue

    Hey guys ive been trying to fix this idle issue. My car has been idling funny since ive gotten it. I took out the iac valve, cleaned it and it sort of fixed it for a little while although it still idled high. Now its back to how it was but even a bit worse. The idle is not consistent at all and...

    GVR-4 IAC Valve removal problem

    So i was removing my shitty IAC valve that came with the engine from DSM and when i tried slowly pulling it out the whole thing split apart into 3 sections (so far.) The first pic is how it came out once I unscrewed it. The second is what was stuck at first, but slid off. Now I'm stuck with the...

    What's up every one,Ive had a passion for the 1g Dsm since I was 16 and have owned 2 1g dsm's non turbo in the past before the age of 19.
