My 4g64 started making a strange sound last night. There is a clicking noise that sounds like it’s coming from somewhere around the intake manifold. Every time the clicking sound occurs the engine shakes and the exhaust sputters. I am in no way a mechanic, so please forgive me if it’s something...

I need some help getting the assembled convertible cover frame back into the car. A friend and I struggled to do this about an hour ago, and are going to try again tomorrow when the sun is back up.

So the car runs great aside from the slight lil rattle when I’m at cruising speed in 4th or 5th gear. Also it doesn’t do it steadily, it’s only when the throttle/rpm is in one specific spot. If i accelerate even the slightest or lift off the rattle stops rather quickly. I’m talking a very lil...

Turbo blew so I plan on removing it this Wednesday, What tools should I expect to need besides maybe a breaker bar?

Hello all,99 spyder (4g64 SOHC). I replaced the drive belts recently and within a few startups, noticed an intermittent knocking sound coming from the camshaft/water pump area. The noise is like two pieces of wood knocking on each other and it comes and goes. When the engine is hot it seems...

Hello! I am kind of new to the 2g DSM, even though this is kind of my 3rd time owning one. I've kind of wanted one again after being an idiot kid when I had one and blew the 420a in it, and had no knowledge of repairing/fixing the problem. So 12-ish years later I tracked down my old buddy's 2g...

The power antenna doesn't go up or down. With a new stereo install, there appears to mass static and I found one station. I don't really know whether the head unit is connected properly, either. I imagine the installer will blame the old antenna. The old deck did get stations, however. Anyhow...
