It will cost you between $5.50 and $1000. Seriously. The
capacitors that fail
and cause this problem are cheap (~$0.50 each) and if
they haven't damaged
the circuit board you just clean up remove and
resolder. I managed to
successfully do that once on another car (and then
crush the circuit board
under my clutch petal). Or you can find companies
that will swap you for ECUs
they've done the same thing to (the soldering,
not the crushing) for ~$250 to
~375. Or you can go to Mits and get raped on
a new ECU (~$1000)
Good luck

to let everyone that was thinking it was the ECU behind the radio,
it

Team3S: power control module testing
My 91 stealth v6dohc tt died on me
at stop sign and will not start. engine turns over but no fire to the plugs. I
purchased the manuals on cd and in the testing procedures for the power control
unit on page 8-254 the first plug on the unit I do not get continuity on the
second plug with the 6 prongs I get continuity as on pages 8-258,259 am I headed
in the right direction that it is the control unit that is bad.
thanks
for the replys

Team3S: Fuel Rail ?
I know our cars stock fuel rail has the ability to
flow enough fuel for 550
CC injectors but can they flow enough fuel for 720
CC injectors?

Re: Team3S: Fuel Rail ?
No problems at all. It's more a cosmetic upgrade
and for people who want to
make everything as perfect as possible. Some
internal mods would help in
flow but until now, no pressure drop has yet
been seen from anyone I know
of running with large
injectors.

Re: Team3S: Updated: 60k workshop page
Speaking of the 60K and the
FAQ. Wouldn't the redesigned end yoke holder
work if you didn't use a
socket on the crank shaft pulley? I was having
problems with my
"alternate" method, until I realized that I didn't need a
socket. The
bolt accepts a 1/4 inch drive wrench. I'm not sure but from
the picture
on the FAQ it looks like the tool would work quite well if you
don't use a
socket on your wrench. Can anyone verify this? Of course
the
"special" tool is still over priced, but maybe the redesigned wasn't
as
stupid as mentioned in the FAQ.

Transmission Strength / Seats
To answer the first part of your email...
the SL does not share the same
tranny as the VR4. The SL has a Mitsu
tranny, while the VR4 sports the ever
reliable (yeah right) German-made
Getrag tranny.
The Getrag takes a lot of heat because its syncros are
notorious for going
out, but at the same time its under a lot more pressure
than the Mitsu
tranny. Can't tell you how much HP the Mitsu tranny can
bear,
unfortunately.

Team3S: Transmission Strength / Seats
Hi all,
I was
wondering if the tranny for a '93 SL is as strong as a '93 VR4. Is
it the
same tranny, only set up for a FWD rather than a 4WD. If not, what
is the
maximum safe HP for an SL transmission?
Also, if you recall,
I switched out my cloth seats for leather last
week. It took only half an
hour to hook them up. They work great, and add a
lot to my
interior.
When I went to Salt Lake City and met the guy I
bought them from, he
told me his VR4 was stolen, and had the engine ripped
out. The insurance
company didnt give him what he wanted for the car, so he
took everything he
could off the car (body panels, interior panels, seats,
etc.) before the
insurance company took it away... does this sound a little
bit fishy, or is
it just me? Could these seats be hot? This guy is in college
and drives a
BMW Convertible?!?

Portland area people...
I test drove (just for the fun of it... told them
I've never driven one
before) a '95 VR4 this weekend at Bryan Bickmore Dodge
in Portland, OR.
They said it was traded in recently on a Viper. Just
wondering if anyone
knows who's car this used to be. I haven't had the
opportunity to drive a
modded car before, but I was impressed with this VR4's
low end torque and
overall responsiveness... although the AWD seemed to pull
me sideways more
than my car does.
Details on the car that I could
see...
One owner, regularly serviced
Red '95 w/o a sunroof
Blitz
Boost Controller
Open Intake (not K&N... I should know, but going
blank... two green filters)
Exhaust upgrade (loud with door open, but not
while driving)
Magnecore Wires
If you know, I'm curious. If you
have an idea of how many ponies this car
was touting, then I'd like to know
that as well. Wasn't planning on modding
my car till I drove this
one.
And if you're in the area and are interested in the car... they will
take
$19,000 for it (asking $21,000 I think).

Nice that you got to drive one of these
cars. I have the 95 w/power
sunroof and Active Aero but no Active
exhaust or ECS. The one you drove
should have had ECS if it is a true
95 VR-4. You said it had NOT
sunroof? I thought all VR-4s in
second gen had either a manual or auto
sunroof. If this is the case
then this is a hybrid 95 and a first gen
with second gen panels, etc.
Not sure. Clarification on this perhaps?
Date of mfg on driver door jam
perhaps?
Anyway, stock hp for that year is the upgraded 320 (vs. first
gens which
were lower). Max torque is 6,000 rpm and pulls great in 3rd
and 4th
gears here. With the BC, exhaust, and air intake it should be
producing
about 350 or so. If the pre-cats were gutted and a high-flow
cat and/or
high-flow muffler and single muffler not one with a resonator it
might
produce more (say 360 hp). Then throw the BC up to 15 psi instead
of
stock 12-14 psi and you can get somewhere in the neighborhood of
400
(depending on elevation, temperature, etc.).
You should have been
pulled sideways in first and second gear from the
massive torque you
had. Even with the BC off the VR-4 will twist your
head off. Just
a different car from most and these mods though slight
are the performance
mods.
Let us know more info but it sounds like you had a blast and the
car
sounds like a good solid buy. The things to look for are the
mileage,
60k service, synchro grinding in 2nd and 3rd gears, etc. I
bought my
'95 in 06/2000 when it was 5 years old with 40k miles and it was
$24k.
I think there is a sheet on Team3S about what prices should be paid
for
cars. Mine had brand new interior carpet and I had Pirelli
P-Zeros
installed so that is why it was about $2k higher than it should
have
been.

Nope. I've
