1G Finally reunited

[awdtsi_90]

I had this car back in high-school and for about 10 years. Me and my brother fell in love with DSMs and this car has a lot of sentimental value with him no longer being here with us. I got it from the guy I sold it to. He has put less then 100 miles on it but it has sat for 10 years.

He claims it has DSMLink through EPROM but says it doesn't have a DSMLink chip in it. He said that it is through the cable and the disk for the laptop which I will get when I pay him fully. He is looking for the cable he says. Is that possible like a older version of DSMLink?

It has a GM MAF on it. It needs a starter and a battery to start he says so I am going to maybe attempt that this weekend. I have a starter I am going to get tested.

Also the driver side CV shaft is broken or something is. I am hoping it is just the shaft and that's all it can be. Here is a video of the shaft and pics of the car. Also it came with some injectors I think are 1000cc and a Walbro 255 fuel pump just needing installed.

Nice. I will say that I’d the ECU doesn’t have the DSMLink chip then it does NOT have DSMLink as he claims.

The Talon does have DSMLink. I changed oil, oil filter, coolant, starter, spark plugs, plug wires, ignition coil pack, new fuel and it started up. It sounded horrible and smoked, check engine light on so I shut it off and found the 02 housing is completely cracked out.

I got a new one ordered and it is this one.

Also, this cracked housing will do all of that right. Check engine light, sound horrible with broken pipe then not want to run/run rough.

No the crack shouldn't cause a ton of issues other than noise. There is lots going on if the car sat awhile.

What do you mean there is a lot going on? The car did sit for 9 years.

The car ran and idled by itself, it just sounded horrible like a broken exhaust pipe and smoked from the pipe/o2 housing so I shut it off until I get the new O2 housing.

I am assuming the check engine light was on from the pipe being broke right there at the O2 sensor and the fogging oil. The car did have fogging oil in the cylinders for 4 days before it was started. Also I turned the crank over by hand before starting it.

I'm assuming the smoke was the fogging oil burning off and crud from sitting for so long.

The o2 housing dosnt fit very good or its just a bi*** to get put on . I got the turbo side on no issue but only 1 bolt in on the downpipe. The other one there is a gap and it was only me so maybe if I had an extra set of hands we could of got it lined lined up and the nut threaded on the bolt.
