Body has 214k on it, has junk yard motor in it with supposedly 60-70k on it, clutch has supposedly 4k on it and doesn't feel bad. I've had an '85 MR2, an '89 Conquest TSi, a beater isuzu 4x4, and currently drive a jeep cherokee as a DD, but I am pretty tired of driving the jeep on the road (I drive at least 45 minutes to school each morning in Indy and it gets horrible mpg and isn't fun on the road! offroad it is great though) All of my cars up until this Jeep XJ have been manual trans, and I sorely missed having one, but auto is definitely the way to go offroad....Anyways...

Its complete, and the body is in pretty good shape for this many miles. Has rust forming on driver side rear where bumper meets fender and front where front bumper meets fender. Nothing horrible but that will probably be my next fix, is having the body work done once its up and running.

The guy I bought it from had been using it as a DD for the year and half that he owned it. It ran very very poorly.

So, first things first, getting the engine running right! Got all the service manuals and got to reading...I ohmd out the injectors and coil packs. Those were all good. Removed the plenum and did compression test. It has EXCELLENT compression, and had 3 different types of spark plugs xD haha (someone was too lazy to remove the plenum to change the rears) Anyways...everything checked out great, but it still was throwin a CEL and running rough, definitely misfiring. (Got very good at removing/installing the plenum because the threads for half the bolts on it were stripped from previous owners so called "mechanic" so we helicoiled 'em.)

We pulled injector plugs on a cylinder and it didn't run any differently so it was obviously that cylinder. Got out the spark plug test light and plugged it between the coil and plug and sure enough that coil isn't putting out spark, however the coil itself had the same ohm reading as the rest, and the power transistor looks to be brand new. (they had it laying on top of the intake pipes and a tiny guage wire literally wrapped through a whole and then bolted to a rusty bolt on the radiator support to ground it. It was definitely not a good ground, intermittent at best, and we fixed that the first night we had it.)

So we checked continuity of the harness to the ECU and it was good. We pulled out the ECU which was remarkably easy as it was not bolted in, and the pins for the carpet panels were missing. So the ECU was just layin down chillin in there. The guy I bought it from said he had the caps replaced...looks like someone didn't know what they were doing and soldered the through hole caps from the top, lol looked like a horrible solder job, but probably good enough. We were fairly certain it was an ECU problem and sent it to AvPro to get it repaired, waiting to get it back!!

Interior is dirty and front seats are pretty torn up. This car was not loved. All switches are there except the Active Exhaust switch is missing. ECS switch doesn't seem to work, I was told the passenger window will roll down but not up, and I think the sunroof crank may be stripped. Trans wants to grind (syncros probably) especially third, but if i go from second to neutral and slide the shifter left and right then go to third it doesn't grind :/ lol. Drivers power seat all works (bolsters, lumbar etc) Overall I'm pretty happy with it. I can tell it will be fast eventually even on only 4 cylinders xD.

So, there you have it. Sorry its so long, I can't really post in any other sections cuz I'm a "new member" So I get to be in here and read questions about if people can "lift" their cars :confused: to each their own I suppose.

Can't wait to get my ECU back and plug it in. ]]> New Owner Questions Ridonkulous http://www.3si.org/forum/f12/new-92-vr4-owner-479654/ http://www.3si.org/forum/f12/instead-loud-exahuast-pt-2-a-479650/ Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:25:50 GMT So i read the post that yall put i guess i dont want it tht loud anymore.How can i get my car loud enough so if a ricer comes up to me trying to rev his engine i can make mine sound like his is a pos...?

Some vandals smashed in my driver side window (well, the car is right-hand drive, so passenger side for all you people on the left side of the car), and it looks like some sort of plastic thing has broken off that guides the window to go straight up and down. My passenger side has it, but my driver's side no longer does. Just installed a new motor, and the window will only go up and down when you help pull it up because it's going down into the door frame at a really funny angle.

My 95 stealth rt 5spd with 167k (one owner before me) is overheating bad according the gauge. After letting the car sit in about 40 degree weather overnight, I turn it on and the gauge shoots right up to almost the red block on the temp. gauge. Even If i let it idle the temperature will go over the red block if i keep it on for 2 mins or so. Meanwhile, I can put my hand on the valve cover and radiator and it doesnt burn me at all but it should right? So what gives?

The air is cold when i put the heater on full blast (eventually warms up like normal), so im like thats impossible that my car is actually overheating that quick. So i check my coolant, nothing is leaking, its full, I replace the thermostat with one from autozone, same problem, no difference really. The coolant is flowing because I can feel the radiator gradually warm up and the coolant swirling when I take off the cap and I bled out most of the air bubbles. (there wasn't that many to begin with.


Ok so what do I do? I'm about ready to give in and take it to the stealership but id rather just fix it myself I know its gotta be something stupid. No coolant in the oil, if so its minimal, and no white smoke out of the exhaust, coolant is flowing so it shouldn't be the headgasket or waterpump correct? Perhaps I need a radiator flush or new temp sensor?

Checked everything in the car to make sure it worked and it does. also the active aero and the usual things to check when looking to buy a used car.

One of the problems i seen while driving was it was jumping like crazy, first i thought it was me giving and letting go of the gas, but it wasn't that. the car is jumping like it was in a great need of a tuneup. Worked smooth in 5th tho.

The guy also doesn't drive it much. that might be why also.

I'm still new to 3Si.org and 3000GT's. Some of you may have read my other post regarding starting issues, that's been resolved for now.

There's another issue that I'd like to get fixed sooner than later. The engine sputters and sometimes stalls when idle. There are some sparks coming from the base of the distributor. Seems that I'll be needing ignition wires soon. Does anyone know who's the OEM, or what's a good aftermarket? I'm mainly looking for low cost here, rather than performance parts.

In general, are there any recommended vendors for parts for these cars? What's the best Service Manual for the 3000?

Thanks!

Then that night, because everyone hydrolocked their cars and had to be towed, it got broken into and robbed, bye bye gps and sound system, but that's another story lol. Anyways, my knowledge of hydro lock was slim and i tried to crank it a couple times thinking that water got into the exhaust and just stalled.

I figured out it was hydrolocked drained the oil and did a few oil changes. Changed the spark plugs and the car runs. It actually feels like it's pulling fine and everything but the engine whines now. Someone told me it could be a bent rod, but it's not a knock it's a whine. I've probably put about a thousand miles on it since the hydrolock because at that point i was thinking screw this car i'll just drive it till it blows up cause any repairs are more than the grand i paid for it.

I guess what i'm asking is what could cause the engine to have the mechanical whining sound? Aside from a backfire here and there the car still seems to run fine, and i drive it alot daily. Thanks to anyone who want to offer their wisdom to my crappy sohc ha ha.

Also car is a first gen sohc stealth. ]]> New Owner Questions tmr263@hotmail.com http://www.3si.org/forum/f12/different-hydrolock-thread-479290/ http://www.3si.org/forum/f12/looking-manual-driver-side-window-479281/ Mon, 16 Nov 2009 02:39:01 GMT Hi,

Typical story of someone needing anything worth money in my car more then me.

So with that I've been search for something like a haynes repair manuel for a 98 3/s base but haven't come up with anything thus far. Was woundering if anyone knew where I'd be able to purchase one or if they even make them for this car.

Also If anyone knows where to get a cheap driver side window from verses the 180 from that parts store that would be a great help as well.

My car has a warm idle of about 600RPM, which is relatively low. When it idles at that RPM the car has a nasty, rumbling shake to it, and if I have my lights on (notice it in the dash lights most) they dim a bit. So, 2 questions

1) How do I get my idle up around 800-1100 where it's supposed to be?
2) Will this fix my issue with the lights dimming?

I realize that the idle slowing down so far obviously slows down the belts and thus slows down the alternator, which most likely causes the dimming, but how can I fix my idling issue?

the center vent. the bracket that holds it in place? yeah. someone got lazy and bent the bracket down. im guessing to get the center gauges out. and the center gauges, the top bracket things it "swings" from are mangled all to hell. i honestly dont know how they stayed in so good.

question. is this gonna be okay? lol. i cant really fix the gauge brackets, and the vent bracket can maybe be bent back. but if i just mount the gauges with the 2 bolts on the bottom will they sit as good as they did? i imagine they would because they sat so good on broken brackets ever since i bought it. but i just dont want to get this dash together and have some crooked ghetto gauges. cause this dash removal SUCKS.

The facts:

5zigen Fnork 17x9" wheels (+34) offset I believe, currently stretched with 255/45 rubber which needs replacement.

I researched stock tire height (based on 245/45/17 of 25.68"), and the closest height to stock match I could find to that height was 275/40/17 which ring in at 25.66". Seems good to me, and a better match than what I have now. However, will they stretch on a 9" wheel, and more importantly, will they clear without rubbing on a stock 94 RT TT?
