I like to use the evo fuel pump grommet on the pump installs. you can find them on site vendors like extreme psi and others for less than $5it fits on the barb of the fuel pump and slides into the fuel pump hanger neck better than the o ring and plastic grommet...
yeah its a 9 year old thread but ill add to itstock turbo and stock wheels would get about 24mpg city and 32 highwaywith 18's I get about 22 mpg city and 26 highway. the extra tire width was probably the reason for the mileage drop
it looks extremely undesirable to me under the hoodits missing all of the emissions sensors on the firewall.its missing all of the timing coversit has a cheap ebay manifold that is for sure crackedit has a cheap ebay turboit probably has a major oil leak from the oil panit could have...
it sounds like the window motor has failed. here is a link and the screen shot of the diagram. the relay is above the interior fuse panel on the drivers side footwell area...
my 100% genuine advice is to trade that venom intake manifold for a stock throttle body and intake manifoldmy main goal would be to get the car running first, enjoy it for being stock. when its close to stock its alot easier for us to help you with issues and give good advice
you really need to get down in the motor and line up the timing marks at to dead center i promise its not as huge of a task as it may mentally seem. remove the alternator power steering and ac belts and remove the lower timing cover after you remove the harmonic balancer. you need to...
who are you planning to send the turbine shafts out to, to have then balanced. that's my main reason for never attempting to rebuild my own as they will become unbalanced and shred the wheels if done incorrectly
you must likely jumped timing due to an improperly adjusted timing belt tensionerwith zero compression you should be hearing abnormal noises when cranking the motor over, like hollow popping noises coming out of the tail pipe. though with zero psi in one cylinder it might not make any noise...
its the first fuse in the fuse box under the hood.what kind of car do you have, what motor?the alternator can still be bad and test good, especially for our cars. the brush tolerances can go out of range when hot and not make enough contact to generate charge. alternators need to be...
are you sure the ticking is the plug wires? is it possible they are bad, we typically reccomend NGK plug wires for these cars. if the plug wires are "arching out" where you can hear them they may be causing the idle issue under load. try to swap them out for a different set. there is also...
to me it sounds like a transmission issue.if you kick it in to neutral while sitting at a stop light does the car idle fine, or does it still want to diehave you done a boost leak test yet?
r12 runs at lower pressures like propane. typically best operating range is 40psi low side. the compressor uses the oil, not the refrigerant. in the old days when r12 was more common in cars you could just refill the r12 system with 134a. I never bothered to switch the oil out, and never...
welcomefirst part of a project is to compartmentalize the project based on immediate want and need. dont just tear apart the car without setting mile stone objectives. it wont be rebuilt in a day and as such a project you want to hit "wins" as you move towards finishing a complete carwith...
if you buy r134a refrigerant on ebay its can come labeled as envirosafe and flammable. its technically propane.I have run propane in a r134 system and it cools much faster than r134.you can also run r12, it cools quicker like propane but is not flammableyou should not run 1234yf in your...
the main junction for the ignition harness is under the seering column. there are larger white wires running from the column under the dash to the rest of the vehicleit is most common that this main ignition accessory harness is cut up from a turbo timer install or vehcile alarm installation...
p0340 is a camshaft sensor error codei would check the connector and sensor itself by removing the upper timing cover. visually inspect everything to make sure the car didnt jump timing. i know you said everything was rebuilt 3k ago but timing tensioners do fail so I would visually check...
the throttle position sensor is vital for the auto trans shifting, do not adjust it, make sure it is fully plugged in. the 2g cars do not have an ips switchcan you drive the car at all, it should eventually have a check engine light for idle speed lower than expected, and should eventually...
im not sure what your specific numbers should be, I believe brand new the 7 bolt 2g motors had 180 psi, and a good high mileage one should be around 160psimy main concearn would be the engine jumped timing. you could take the upper timing cover off and take a picture of the belt to make sure...
is your car over heating when it shuts off? your check engine light says your car is over heating. the car needs an accurate coolant temperature reading to keep the car running. also if the car is over heating it will shut itself off because the motor is about to blow
if you have fuel and spark you need to check for airits time for a compression test. or you need to check timing first then do a compression testyou could have blown your motor and the fuel issue was just a random occurrence. how is the oil level in the car, coolant level?
why are you asking? does something not work correctly?those connectors and pins have nothing in common with the factory 2g wiringif you have to ask what they are for, you need to remove the harness and check continuity to connections in the harness to see where those pins come from on the...
also for future reference this ebay key fob remote for our cars has twice the range of our factory keyless remote. I could never get the factory key fob to do more than a foot away from the car before it would work, this ebay one gives you atleast 10 feet of range
uh so what is your theory. you plug in the module and all of a sudden you cant lock your door because.....? your drivers side lock actuator is bad? so now you unplug the radio module and you can lock the door because? maybe the car did use to have an aftermarket keyless entry or alarm and...
yeah you will need to pull apart your door handle to acess the back side of the door handle. on the back side of the key cylinder there is a sensor that will sense when the lock cylinder is twisted and it will electronically unlock the drivers side and passengers side doorthis little sensor...
there is no preferred set of headlights, you can buy ebay projector lights with cheap ebay led lights. if you want good lights then you will have to pay for retrofitted projector headlights that a member on here makes and sometimes sells on ebay. he sells then for typically $800 a set plus...
there's basically 2 variables if there isn't a check engine lightcars run off of air + fuel + sparkseeing as the car runs fine normally, we can assume the engine has good compression and is getting good air to make the fuel and air explodefuel could be the first issue. the fuel pump could...
the answer to your problem will be pulling off the exhaust manifold.if the head is "wet" inside then its the valve stem seals. though when mine went bad the car smoked like a train when it warmed up and was under high vacuum. like sitting at a stoplight with the ac on you could see the smoke...
sounds like the timing is off. have you checked the timing marks since you put the head back on. line up everything to top dead center to make sure that it hasnt jumped timing.
you should run the stock throttle body. there are extremely specific procedures to set the throttle position sensor and the biss screw. do not mess with it.
it could still be a bad starter. the bendix is suppose to pop the gear out, and it could be the bendix is failing and not popping the gear out far enough
the axle seal does look like is in too far, but I dont think it would cause any noise.did you remove the abs ring on the new axle before you installed it? you should be able to knock the ring off of it with a hammer and screw driver
had the same problem with my 96 the final year before the safety only 25 year exemption. the only way to get it to pass as ready was to drive it for an hour and then it would randomly say ready. i had to tell a friendly shop not to turn off the car while doing inspection.for the final year...
it would be unusual that the code would be from the ecu failing. 99.99% of the time the ecu fails I have seen are from the idle air control motor going bad and causing the driver capacitors to fail on the ecu.for the record when mine failed it failed open and my car had zero problems just...
