98 Eclipse N/T (w/turbo) help

It can happen to engines just like it happens to intercoolers. Engine can soak up the heat just like an intercooler can. It was a suggestion that possible could be an issue.


My engine is hard to start when it's hot. How come? — Yahoo! Autos

I'm not discrediting that add but a engine does NOT heat soak. The fuel or injectors or lines could heat soak but a engine does NOT heat soak. It's like saying a fire gets hot.

This is a good explination where it staes the head could become heat soaked but not the engine and even that I kinda call symantics as in this case they're reffering to the head and engine as two seperate pieces which is kinda tamatto tamatoo thing(you get the idea)

Running lean, or to rich cause cause a turbo to glow red. I'd look into that.
