  • I pulled my ECU and have a questionable SMD cap under my 100uf 16v cap. I was going to replace my capacitors and also came across some stuff under my eeprom so I’ll need to investigate that but the SMD has me scratching my head. Insight from the...

    According to CAPS AWD 5spd racks are compatible with chassis, D21A (1.8L), D22A (FWD), and D27A (AWD). FOR AT cars there is a different part number and it is compatible with D22A and D27A.

    Correct. Manual vs Auto is 2g specific. The 2g auto starter's bendix gear stays inside housing and the 2g manual starter's bendix gear stay outside housing like the 1g starters.

    I came to this website and specifically registered to find a rust-free Black Cherry 1990 Eagle Talon, AWD TSi - Manual transmission. It is what I had for my 2nd car back in 1996. I've always liked (to drive) these cars, Eclipse GSX too...

    Right, again going off the part numbers and w4a33.com, the 2g starters are auto/manual specific, supposedly the 1g’s aren’t, obviously if you’re a 1g swapped guy with a 2g trans you’d want a 2g AUTO starter, I don’t know, I should be able to...

    I meant it's extremely unlikely to damage the engine itself.Being the car is still running on the MAF, have you done a boost leak test? The stock MAF is very susceptible to air leakage issues which will cause sputtering/stalling etc.

    It's possible, they do use a different flex plate between 1g and 2g.

    You must be registered to see element.This is the starter off the 91 auto GSX I got my swap parts from, looks identical to my 5 spd one and according to stmtuned the 1g auto/5 spd had the same part # :idontknow:

    Do you think this would cause my engine to stutter and maybe stall when taking off? Or is stall what you meant by kill?

    No the CW bolt won't kill your engine, it can however cause of a lot of clutch engagement issues.From your log, the clutch switch shows -1 constantly, you did move the car and came to a stop but the clutch switch never changed, so something is...

    I have an update for everybody! First let me say that I am completely new to, not only the DSM world, but the performance world as well. That being said, it turns out the rev limit seemed to be the issue. I didn't even realize that was a feature...

    2G auto starters have a very short stickout, the gear barely protrudes the casing like so:You must be registered to see element.
