Got a kid on the way, so I have to let go of my 1990 eagle talon TSI AWD 128k miles, manual. The engine and the trans are in great condition on this car, so is the transfer case and rear diff. Car got zero rust. It will run and drive great, just needs shift linkage Installed and ECU repaired...

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I have a shop on wheels now. We can build DSMs together in Chicago area. Here is my ad that I posted on facebook:ASE certified technician, 12 + years of experience fixing cars and medium duty to heavy duty trucks. I also have a lot of experience...

Wires leading to pin 57 and 105 were cut off from the solenoids and taped off then zip tied to hold the tape. Wire was cut, taped and tied on both ends at Pin 15 by the main connector on the ECU. Pins 6 and 14 were swapped previously by the previous owner (he probably run a (91-94 ECU, on a 90...

Also the board doesn't look fried and discolored in any other places.

BCS and FPS are cut and completely removed from the car, all the related wiring has been isolated. Coolant temp sensor is working fine. The car was running fine before the swap. I have no clue as to why I the car is giving me a 0012 volume air code. All the pins and wiring along with the grounds...

Long story short, I was swapping my old setup in a new rolling shell. Everything was smooth until the start up. I have a v3 with ecm maf cable for my 3'' GM MAF. Nothing that I've tried made my car run smooth, it misfires,sputters, back fires, shuts off doesn't start, etc.... I get 0 HZ MAFidle...

If they click they work, unless one off them has a faulty control valve that is stuck open( not your case again.) it would run rich and most likely flood and misfire. Given 12 volts from battery will make the pump engage if that's what you want... I think the issue here is your tune, not fuel...

Connect a fuel pressure tester, see if the readings are the same us the one on fpr gauge. If both show the same pressure your fpr is fine. If the car is running lean all the time, temp will rise. If the car is not misfiring injectors are not the issue, this time. But if you want take noid ligt...

Just didn't know what to do with this..... He drove a honda del sol.... Talon has a sticker on the rear windshield vtec this with the middle finger...... :)

I one time clogged all my injectors when I ran out of fuel. Had a Wally in the car for 3 years. I guess the fuel that I used dissolved the filter, so the car sucked all the dirt from the bottom of the tank..... I was lean and misfiring a little...turn the key ON . If you should hear the...

20g or something else?

Some white guy? Why?

Just got this bad boy for 1500 runs and drives. (Like crap...) but that's ok, it's just temporary :D... Just needs a tune. It has a knock off 16g, eBay Fmic, some crappy headers with what looks like an eBay fart can system.....genuine 272s, gm maf and dsmlink :)))). Did I do decent, I remember...

do you still have it?

Try to use some bug killing sprays and place sticky pads all around the car and inside the car. Or you can call the exterminator he will bomb it for about $100. Smoke bombs help also.http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/hangout/423748-black-widows-everywhere.html

Tech Guide: 2G 420A Power Upgrades - DSMtunersI use extremepsi.com or maperformance.com for 90% of my parts. The rest i buy from classifieds out here

usually when you let them seat for to long gas goes bad. Also i agree with with someone asking you,'how much gas do you have?". Its very rear when cars go broke without a cause, maybe your maf, tps,coil, or igniter is unplugged. If everything is connected and works as it should, than start...

There is one stud for the exhaust manifold that goes into the oil passage, if you take it out, you'll get a massive leak.As far as the clutch, There is most likely no pressure in the system and the clutch fork does not apply the clutch tha,t explains why when the car is off you can shift and...

130 is low but its all even across all 4 cylinders so as long as you have spark and fuel your car will rev up normally. Boost leak is possible and is the most likely cause, also check the throttle cable and the plate, I had a car that was reving between 4000-4800 and it turned out to be the...

I'm leaning to an ecu problem or something corrupting it. Maybe something is getting shorted out causing that, without looking its very hard to say what it is. I dont have ac in my talon so I never experienced that phenomenon before, and working for Chrysler I have never seen or hear of that...

You are running 272s on a stock ecu or is it tuned. Very unlikely that that is the problem, they will make the engine run rough if untuned and if compressor engages engine would run rougher but not enough to completely shut down the motor, I would think. How does the motor run without the...

Any DTCs present or pop out when it happens?

Look at a ac schematics. I'm pretty sure when the clutch gets engage it sends the reference voltage to the ecu. Or it could be the high pressure switch because it has the ability to prevent the clutch from cycling on and off. Ecu controls the idle. Also evap temperature sensor has the ability to...

Have someone press the clutch pedal while you looking at the slave. If the slave rod doesn't push the for all the way or even half the way it is not a clutch problem, it's a hydraulic problem. It has to be a leak, master or a slave.Move the boot on a slave cylinder to see if there is fluid...

If you add oil to the cylinder you seal up the rings, so yea it's the rings. But make sur that that cylinder doesn't get washed out with fuel. Sometime compression will drop if your injector is stuck open and it washes out all the oil from the rings lowering the compression (very rare) but it's...

yeah, if it stuck it will flood the cylinder. It could still make clicking noise but wouldnt close all the way. That ohm reading is good as long as long as the insulator is not cracked and sparking agains the valve cover in a certain position.I've had good resistance before but a problem...

yeah there is no gasket there, i agree. Just clean it with fine sand paper and put a good clamp or two to seal it, that is if its not cracked or rusted to s@#t. Replace if that dosent help.

i alway remove all spark plugs and do it. i never open the throttle plate or anything. As long as all the cylinder are in 10 percent of each other you should be good, that is if all of them are not low.

99.9% of the time its the oil and the coating thats on it. My pickup truck always smoke from the manifold due to a leaking valve cover gasket. (i know,im just being lazy).

well i agree with doing the compression test and swapping injectors that will help you a lot. Also check the condition of the spark plug and the wire, look for excess moisture in the cylinder maybe injector is leaking, alltho it pulsing. Also you can check the duty cycle on that injector to see...

590 is enough, I had 450cca for 2 years and the car was having no issue, until the tranny blew up. You can also look in Haynes or any autozone, they have proper specs.Just the other week I had a Mazda with an alternator charging 14.2. But any time there was a load applied on the battery like...

Does sound like lifters. I usually let the car idle for about 10-15 minutes and then drive around a bit gently. The noise usuall goes away in 15 minutes if you got good oil pressure and good lifters. If it keeps making noise for longer than 30minutes I alway check the oil pressure

Has to be the turbo seals to leak that much. Also check the valve seals, take the valve cover off and shine the light between the spring and look at them. Other things that burn oil are: 1.piston rings or internal engine damage. 2.blown head gasket. 3. PCV valve clogged. If you get more smoke...

Both the 1g and 2g can pull 11s if you put enough money in them. And if you dont spend all your money on performance and keep some for the maintanence both would be good and reliable cars. It's all up to your preference and your wallet.As far as crank walk goes, I have still got to see one...

Buying a dsm take a lot of TIME and dedication from you. First you have to have a house or a garage to keep it, you gonna need it trust me. Next thing is to have a second reliable set of wheels. Third is, you need to have more than an average base of knowledge on how a car works, and how to keep...

Well, I'm getting a welder sometime next month, so I'm gonna try it just for the hell of it, I think it should sound pretty cool tho.

Ok now, this might be a little weird but I want to try something new. I have a Megan 3 inch downpipe, thermal muffler and also a cherry bomb glasspack muffler. Now what do you guys think if I custom make an exhaust with those 2 mufflers and megan downpipe with no cat. Is that gonna be bad ass...

I figured they are some sort of DSM cam but non of the links that i found can rule out out of which year and model the came out of.

I have this two cams both have a big letter B on them. The intake side has 5 dots next to B. The exhaust has 3 dots. They both have id numbers on a side: the intake looks to be- 202242358 and the exhaust is 202201330. I measured the max lift on the intake cam lobes and got 1.394 to 1.396( but my...

Great link. Thread closed!!! Moderators make this dude a wiseman!!!:thumb:

Very true. You know the specs? i dont have a book for it. Only the intake is different i've heard, is that true? I would think exhaust should be different also, for a better flow and spool?

Thanks. Thats pretty much what i figured. But what i also want to know is, do you think the owner before me changed the cams when he made it turbo? Cause i know the valve spring on this head are kiggly. How can i find out if the cams are turbo thats what really really bothers me?

I've been serching the forums and have found a lot of usefull info but now i need to verify some things. I have two heads both came off from 1g cars, the blue one came off a turbo 1990 tsi and the Red one (the one with the studs in exhaust side) came out of 1992 eclipse.The problem with a...

Yes, it's possible to set the engine in the TDC. Remove the spark plugs look at the position of the piston, if there is no room for the valve than, move the carnk away from the head, just enough for a full valve lift. When you have enough space put the camshaft sprocket marks toward eachother to...

I hope that the input shaft of your tranny is ok. Maybe the shaft snapped and damaged the seal, that's the reason for the fluid. You said that when you leave the car in neutral and let go off the clutch the car jumps forward, to me the best explanation is probably one of the cables for the...

borla

I dont recomend doing that. You can probably still do it if the fuel feed and return lines are in the same position and if all the brackets match to fit it. But if you had more lines (probably emissions) on the 99, you cant realy put the gas tank from the 95, cause the check engine light will go...

Welcome to the DSM world. Hope everything works out for you.Tech Guide: 2G 420A Power Upgrades - DSMtuners.Good luck.

That is tue Anubis, the fuel can also wash out the oil out of the rings having low comp. :)

Are you sure that your comprestion tester working right?Do a leeak down test to make sure vlaves, rings, and gasket is ok.Oil could be just the valve seals. Not neccesary the ring. Maybe PCV.
