Re: Team3S: ECU fixed! =) New questions...
Well after listening to it a
bit more whirring would have to be the best
word to describe it. It's almost
like a very high-pitched cricket on speed,
if you can imagine that ;) It
does seem to be coming from the engine
compartment and it's not speed or
heat related...So I'm guessing it's
boost/turbos. Do you guys have this
noise when cruising? Is it normal???
Thanks!

Team3S: Another New Clutch Problem ??
I have no idea what the problem is
or if it is in any way related to the
clutch being replaced. When I
drove my car today I noticed that it feels
like shit. The clutch
feels great, but the handling of my car feels
really bad. I feel every
little revit in the road and it makes my car
feel like it is falling
apart. My steering wheel seems all loose too.
Before I brought it in to
get the clutch fixed the handling and the
steering wheel felt really tight
and like a rock. Now a pebble on the
road makesit feel like it
will rock loose.
Do you know if any of the things the guy had to do to
replace the clutch
could have caused this problem? If they are
unrelated do you know what
is wrong and what needs to be replaced along with
how it could have
happened? Thanks so much!!

Have you had the

throw the front

Your assumption about where those hoses go is
incorrect.
You don't have a hose going out to the wastegates from the
controller if you
just tapped it in where the stock boost control solenoid
goes. That DOESN'T
go to the wastegates, it vents back into the intake
to allow the real boost
control system to show a lower level of pressure to
the wastegates resulting
in more boost.
You need to tear out the lines
and "H" connector (or at a minimum plug them)
that used to go to the stock
boost control solenoid. Then you need to tap
your new boost controller
into the line that comes off the Y-pipe to feed
the boost control system,
before the "H" connector.
"Best" way is to remove the H connector, splice
a "Y" connector in there in
its place leading to the two lines that go to the
wastegates, splice in
another line leading to the output from your new boost
controller, connect
the line that used to go between the Y pipe and the H
connector into the
input of the boost controller.

Re: Team3S: Dynorun
So how about scanning that dyno sheet and showing us?
Also, how about
a list of relavent power mods? These would be greatly
appreciated on
this technical list. I would be happy to post your scanned
dyno run
at my web site if you want. In fact, I would be happy to post any
AAM
dyno run if someone would just show us one. I haven't found any
at
their site yet.

Re: Team3S: Another New Clutch Problem ??
Removal of the trany does not
have to affect alignment! It depends on
the removal method and skill of the
mechanic. Ken Wheeler and I have
instructions at my web site for trany
removal that does NOT affect
alignment at all. But Jason is right that the
mechanic may have
screwed up. The transaxle must be removed to replace the
clutch. To
remove the transaxle the two front driveshafts must be removed.
To
remove the driveshafts the lower control arms must be disconnected
from
the frame. The mechanic may have also unneccesarily seperated
the ball joint
and who knows what else. The problem could lie there.
The alignment is
something the mechanic should have checked and fixed
(if needed) before
returning the car to you.

Subject: Team3S:
Transfer case
This request for advice may be a bit off topic but please
bear with me.
I removed my transfer case after it froze up last
week. I have had my car
back from an complete engine
replacement\rebuild for about 3 weeks. Once I
got it off I found that
the transfer case casing was cracked and someone had
tried to put some JB
Weld or similar adheasive on it to stop it from
leaking. Well it didnt
stop the leak and my case locked up due to lack of
lube. Bearings are all
trashed. its a mess. My output shaft from the tranny
shows some wear as
well.
Can I hold the shop that removed and replaced the engine, tranny
and x-fer
case responsible?
I am sure they would just deny doing it
but it never leaked before it went
to them.
Any advice on how I should
pursue this? thanks in advance.

Team3S: New Clutch
As long as everyone is on the topic of clutches I
thought that I'd ask a
quick question. My clutch is slipping more than
I ever thought possible. So
I guess it's time to tap the bank account
and get a new clutch. What kind
should I get and how much will it cost
me? How much will it cost to have
installed? I have a 1992
Stealth ES DOHC. Also is it mandatory to get it
done at a shop, or are
there some miraculous instructions that would make it
possible for one of my
friends in mechanic school to do it.
Thanks in
advance,
Chris

oil in crankcase anyone??
This has NOT worked for me. I have
done this twice now, both times 4qt
Mobil 1 10W30 / 1qt Quaker State 4x4
Synthetic-blend ATF. Both times the
ticking has gone away while the ATF
was in there and both times it has
returned immediately after changing back
to 5qt Mobil 1 (tried both 10W30
and 0W30, both with same result).
First time I left it in for several
hundred miles, second time I left it in
for 3,000 miles.
I have also tried the BG fuel injector cleaner, as well
as the GM EOS in the
crankcase (as recommended by a fellow list member who
this worked for).
Neither of these helped the ticking whatsoever.
I'm
stumped.

You can
do the same thing for the cost of an oil change plus 1 Quart of
Automatic
Transmission Fluid.
Next oil change, leave out 1 Quart of regular oil,
and substitute 1 Quart of
any brand ATF. The ATF has a higher
detergency, and will clean out any gunk
that may be in the lifters or any
other part of the engine. This is totally
safe, and the lifter tick
will go away almost immediately. Leave it in
there for a while, and you
will have a super clean engine. Next oil change,
replace with standard
synthetic oil (Mobil1 seems to be one of the best)

You guys are
awesome!!
I forgot to mention something the mechanic told me.
I
have this ticking noise that ticks along with my engine revving.
It is really
noticeable when the car is idling. The guy told me it was
something
called the "Lifter" he says it is with all Mitsus and that
he can do
something with or around the oil and it will clear it up.
Do you guys know
what he is talking about? He will do it for 50 bucks and
it would be
nice to not have the tic but if it will mess up my engine in the
process I am
not interested. Thanks again!!
