Can some one tutor me please. The only thing i know how to do is shift. I am completely in over my h

[Aiya]

I have never had a turbo. I dont know how to understand all this. Is tgere like anyone who can tutor me?

 

[Aiya]

I took your picture of "Frank" and added an arrow and circle.

What DB is talking about in bold is the arrow I have placed on the Left side of your engine.

The Circle I placed on your exhaust manifold shows that there is indeed a turbo installed(bolted to the manifold, Downpipe is connected, and air filter is connected). If you are not making boost and have not removed anything then it would be because of the missing pipe to the left of the engine(Arrow).

Could you take a picture facing down in between the engine and radiator? That way we have more knowledge of this "missing Turbo".

Ok i took that thing off to move the battery it was in my way and is that pic good for the circle?

 

[me2151]

Yes. Good news. You have a Turbo connected(the silver thing on the left when looking at the front of the engine). Were you told it was removed by the owner? From the picture it looks like everything is connected to it properly. I see the oil line, air filter and intercooler pipe connected.

What happens when you tried to start it also?

 

[JackStieben]

This link should help you get a grasp on how everything works. Engine, turbo, etc.

No starter point blank period . Im in the process of trying to fund bolts to fit it

 

[me2151]

If you are unable to find bolts then you can try push starting the car since its a manual. Otherwise from my research the bolt size on a 4g63t is m10x1.25x65 I believe you can get those at auto stores under universal starter bolts

I have a gst idk if there is a difference

Your motor should be a 4g63T. those are the bolt specifications for the starter on that engine. Sorry for the confusion.

If it's bolted on, you should be good to go. Make sure you got the harness bolted to the starter. There should also be a little black wire that slides into a small prong on the starter.

Yep and the car is not cranking could coil packs cause that

No, it has to be something else. Are you sure your battery has a good charge? Maybe hook up some jumper cables to it?

Backfiring and they are sparking is why i am asking.... Supposedly the timing belt just got replaced cause someone said sounded like the tiking was off

Ok.. you said the car is not cranking which means it's not turning over at all. So it is cranking, just not starting. Are you sure the firing order of your spark plug wires are correct?

 

[Aiya]

Ok.. you said the car is not cranking which means it's not turning over it all. So it is cranking, just not starting. Are you sure the firing order of your spark plug wires are correct?

I was told coil packs might be bad. And uh negative ghost rider on them there wires dont know how they go i never unconnected any

ghost rider? Idk what that means. Pull each spark plug wire out while someone is in the car cranking and check if there is spark. Wear some gloves, don't electrocute yourself. If there is spark on all 4, then next step would be to check for fuel. After that, check timing.

Checking for fuel requires pulling the 2 10mm bolts holding the fuel line to the fuel rail. Be careful here as there could be pressure built up and it could spray everywhere when you disconnect it. If this happens then you have fuel. If it's dry then you have a fuel problem.

Obviously this goes without saying but be careful. Fuel + spark needs to handled carefully.

 

[me2151]

Based on the picture of "Frank" earlier the firing order is correct.

 

[dustyboner]

the engine looks like it has a 1g CAS and 1g power transistor, i wonder if the wiring is correct. hey Aiya, could you post up a bunch of pictures of your engine? it would help a f***load.

 

[delta448]

Yep, I saw that 1G CAS also. Looks like if it still has the 95 ECU, the plug wires are not in correct order, unless coil pack plug got rewired.

Oh, and anyone who doesn't understand "negative ghost rider" needs to put Top Gun on their list of movies to watch immediately.

 

[miliman13]

no i am honestly lost


First working on it gotta replace starter and turbo. Im trying to do that now. Then after i will worry about precqutions my main concern is getting it running right now

Negative ghostrider

Ok so if any one knows how to do that can you message me your number and ill call and you talk me through it?

Anyone else catching on to the vocabulary? Yeah shenanigans!

Members, it doesn't take much to take you on a ride, from what I see... One pic and you ignore the obvious,

 

[PlanZero]

I feel the need the need for speed.

 

[ThunderChild]

its someone asking for help who has limited knowledge, coming to probably the most well known and knowledgable forum for dsms, and youre dogging them for the vocabulary and unfamiliarity?

if she were trolling, there wouldnt be alot of point, and she wouldnt bother posting pictures and asking legitimate questions.

lets keep the BS out, and be the upstanding members of a respected forum. give good info, keep it on point. and if youre worried about being punked, and dont have anything helpful to say, maybe dont reply to the thread?

 

[oneslowwdsm]

Meh, I don't see why anyone would take time to troll like this. It's not really funny and mostly believable. Oh well.

 

[dustyboner]

I know its hard to believe that a woman with minimal knowledge of cars wants to learn about her car so she can fix it herself. 1st time ive ever seen it but she's legit so help her out. Shes got a hell of alot to learn
