I can probably find one non turbo for around 200 here. I'd probably swap the engine and sell if its another 2.0 non turbo so asking if there are easy swaps for better engines as then I'd probably keep the car.

So I spun a rod bearing and my local mechanic told replacing it would cost 500 and up. I can't replace it myself as I don't have garage so he said it would be cheaper to just swap the whole engine. So my question is what engines are easy swaps or should I look for only 2.0 4g63 again? And from...

Thank you for your replies. The issue was i i atached b terminal in wrong place. Thats what happens when you take out your alternator and put it in month later. Everythings fixed thanks

Is it grounded in the right place? I took it out bout month ago and i dont remember

Today i replaced my alt with new one and 80 amp alt fuse just blown. Put in new one blew again. Did i connect everything right? And alt is 90 amp shouldnt fuse be 90amp too? The last alternator was 90amp too but it didnt blew. Any ideas?Also all my accessories like radio windows heater and...

So today i removed my side skirts and found a lot of rust. The car has no rust pretty much anywhere else. How much of a problem is rust there and is it pretty common in dsms? Cutting it out and welding new metal plate will be too expensive for me i imagine so what are my options?

Finally got that little metal connector for the wire. Im pretty sure but just gonna ask because - wasnt conected anywhere - can you ground the starter to the same 1 of 2 bolts that holds the starter?

The weirdest thing was that - wire wasnt connected anywhere. I cant explain that

Found The issue thanks guys. The + wire to The starter is broken

Where iš starter fuse?

Just a single click. Couldn't check wires it started snowing yesterday :(

Thanks for fast responses guys will check wiring tomorrow. Also I wanted to ask if what I did could have anything with this issue. On the firewall just behind the battery there is a hole for all the wiring to go. When I installed sub I put pretty beefy wire and I ran it together through that...

Couple months ago my starter died. It made no noise at all. I pulled it out and one wire to carbon brush was broken so I replaced it. After a month the same issue appeared. I drove to a shop (it started perfectly on my way to shop) and when i wanted to go back it again made no noise at all. I...

Thanks for all the input guys. Managed to get new brushes in and car started right up. The issue was that broken wire

I cant order anything off Internet because į need car running before christmas to get home. How to hold the brushes pls?

Any tips how to get that part onto rotor? Those 4 pieces are twice as long on the new part and i cant hold em all with my fingers to put it on rotor

What needs to be connected to that small connector? Nothing was when i pulled it out

Got new one

Most likely the issue if i hadn't torn it myself while removing the starterHow do you reconnect it? Can't remove the stuck piece

I had issues with starter it would spin for few times and then start catching and cracking. When it cathes it would start right up. Yesterday i tried to start it and it would just whine quietly but wouldnt crank. I pulled my starter out today. I have no knowledge about it and i dont know how to...

Car is pulling a lot better now, couldn't expect more from 2.0 na.

So found a place where it had the timing light. Guys didn't even knew how to use it. Timing was set at around 5 degrees. Advanced it to around 8 ish. Car running much better, no sound of knock or anything so I think im good.

Update: bought a new Bosch battery, didn't fix anything really, but it needed changing anyway. Next step im trying to find anyone with a timing light nearby. Called nearly all shops and nobody has them

Im getting new battery tomorrow ill update if there are any changes. I'll try to find someone with a timing light near my area asap then. Also I wanted to ask you guys, on nt I heard people saying that you should gap sparks 11mm, others saying 7mm. I have tried both spark plugs bpr6es-11 (11mm)...

3rd gear pull at wot. From low rpms. Wasnt climbing over 7k rpms, cant even reach redline.

Engine was cold thats why its smoking. Tho when its up to working temperature it misfires even more usually.

-Dying when you push the clutch This problem was fixed by switching up gas stations. Yesterday rpm's were surging and dropping, but that's because there wasn't a lot of fuel in the tank. My gas tank is bent slightly (after driving over a rock :( ) so im pretty sure it was surging a lot because...

As I mentioned I have checked injectors by disabling them and the car was idling same with any of the injectors disabled. I don't have a compressor to do good vacuum test. I have blown smoke into intake when engine is off, and it didn't seem to leak anywhere around intake. Any ideas where to...

I changed fuel filter bout a year ago and I remember it wasn't as easy as it seemed :D I will check the breather for gas tank, because in summer when it was hot if you'd unscrew fuel cap you can hear pressure escaping. That probably shouldn't be the case if gas tank is ventilating properly, but...

If you mean CEL no its not on. 1g has obd 1 port so can't really scan shit. I know that you can check codes with small light, but if there are any codes shouldn't CEL be on? Should have checked if its 6 bolt when replacing timing belt :(. Thx for quick reply thought if Colts have 2 o2 sensors 1g...

Hello, I need some help with my car. To whoever that doesn't want to read long essay here are the problems and questions (I dont want to start 5 threads :/) :1. Performance is unstable (change from day to day without doing anything to the car) 2. Climbs high rpms very slowly (from 5k to 7k. I...

This could be from battery?

Last owner did not know. I have a car 2 years

Could this be related to bad battery? I dont know how old it is but my alternator was f***ed and it was charging 16 volts for half a year. Its fixed now but i left the same battery

Just to make sure it has been dying on neutral for a month. It just started to do this on start up yesterday.

My car just startef doing this yesterday. But not always. It sometimes just dies when i put it in neutral. Again not always. Anyone has ran into it? My friend says its starter but it sounds like a random misfire sometimes on idle..

Tapping fixed the issue thanks. Mine did that after dying and started back up again.

In inches it was 1.4 before and now its 1.41

It was 0.2mm wider and 0.2mm longer. Exhaust cam was same.

Sorry for bad filming car is manual. Slowly climbing to 3k rpms and then floorin it.

So couple weeks ago i installed turbo cams into my gs, because i plan to turbo it in winter. I wasnt pushing it very hard but it sounded like engine was strugling hard above 5k rpms. Sounded harsh and wasnt pulling like before. Tonight i was out and did few pulls. After one pull engine started...

Thanks guys ended up pulling it through firewall. It was stuck very high up the dash so had to cut a little slit in that black floor mat behind blower motor and pulled right through.

Problem is i cant even see it from the inside

From engine bay

Where to run amp power wire through passenger side without drilling any holes? There is rubber cap with wires running through it in firewall but my cable gets stuck after pushing it in an inch or two

@steve thanks for being helpful and understanding and not just saying to google stuff changed IPS today. RPM's are stable but on neutral it sounds like engine is misfiring. There are no error codes. Thinking of changing spark plugs or fixing up generator bc its charging 16 volts right now.

@steve thank you, very helpful. I tried to solder broken IPS, but did a poor job, so now when I connect it, car does not rev over 2,5k rpm and on idle it jumps from 1-1,5k constantly, no matter if ISC is connected or not. I think its shorting. So I will get new IPS and report back.

@pauleyman thanks man and it can cause the car to die in neutral right?

Hello is it idle air control valve or what? 1g gs. Connector on top broke and im having idle problems and if so can you diassemble it? I tried screwing that white part on top where connector is, it is spinning but doesnt go anywhere. Or welding old connector on is the only option?

But thanks for all your help, seems like the only one who wants to help me rn.
