Hmm, next year for that I feel. Between now and the end of the year is pace.

fellaz who changed their engine start switch, how did you all take off the white jack from the engine start black switch connector housing?

[ZeroOne]

Got the mech to change the plug seal gasket and mounts car felling like a euro now.

One problem I noticed, the spark plugs are always covered in soot. Im using the right plugs.

This means that the engine is burning more gas than it should, I get about 450km/tank.

I read that the lambda sensor (O2 sensor) could be faulty as well as the ECU. Im pretty sure the ECU is working fine though, something tells me that if the ECU wasn't working I would of had a lot bigger problems.

Mine was changed a couple months ago but sorry, electrician handled that. I not too sure about this one.

[turbo_beast369]

I took out the switch from the turbo front cut but the connector is the same shape but the contacts are placed differently so I need to use back my stock connector for now but for hell the thing doesn't want to slide off the switch housing....

[BrotherHood]

I know exactly what you speak of. Electrician took a while with it as well.

[ZeroOne]

I disconnected the O2 sensor on the exhaust manifold but no engine check light, engine working as normal.

This is weird. Im thinking its probably disabled from the ECU.

Hey guys, I have a lancer glx (local) when the AC is on I notice both the radiator fans stop and start in about 30 - 45 second intervals when it starts I notice the idle surges a bit (I can see the gauge on the tachometer go past 1 and drop back to around 0.9) and you hear a sort of clunking sound from when the motors spin up. I only notice this while idling, not sure if it happens while driving. Is this normal? If not, could you let me know what to check?

p.s. my ac works cools as normal however I get a a squealing sound from under the dash passenger side I believe when on. (This isn't a belt problem) What would cause this problem as well?

I serviced the throttle body, changed plugs and cleaned injectors to make sure they weren't affecting my idle.

Thanks guys, I already read the first 100 pages or so searching for an answer.

[ZeroOne]

Everything you wrote there is normal including the clunking/clicking sound when fans trip on.

The squealing sound from under the passenger dash is a malfunction, there is a fan there, you would need to have that checked.

[jonboy]

anyone ever service or change the hydraulic lifters?

always found that my engine sounded like an old bedford :s ( already did most o the usual stuff recommended for 100k)

saw in the engine manual, the lifters can be cleaned in diesel..?
anyone ever tried this ?

[krish1]

Thank you very much ZeroOne !

I'll get the fan checked out.

thanks for the advice man..i think i will change them, then.

you remember the model number or vendor? im seeing a whole set for 4g63 and 4g93 but nothing for 4g18 ( mine)

are they interchangeable?



on another topic, anyone using a transmission oil cooler? if so, i have a noob question >.< what's the optimal placement? just strap it on the radiator?

[BrotherHood]

EXODUS, I have stock. Link up!

Went up paramin to the saut d'eau recreational park with a Y12 auto some time ago.
Did it in the CS3, but wasn't comfortable.

Had it in L (Ds for the less steep inclines) keeping rpm low. under 1k in L and under 2k in Ds.
I was getting vibration and a sound from the transmission.

CVT fluid is still good (color and level). no difference in scent from change a few months ago.

Anyone went there in a CS3? Was it similar?

I visit paramin regularly , you hadda go up in L else you gonna smell the tranny. The cvt isnt built for that kind of constant steep incline.
My advise to you is leave them red woman up there alone.

Xtech i know i heard idle speak of this before, i searched but never got it.
You know any where i can get engine restorer? And it has to be done on a oil change correct?

[wagonrunner]

Suspected that. This one seemed weaker than others while climbing. Just wanted to make sure it's the norm and not only with this particular car because it pulls very well in all other use.

My advise to you is leave them red woman up there alone.

She won't like that. She eh mind visiting, but would only live up there if she matured knowing only there.

[nissan4life]

Size and weight of your rims has part to play with it too.
If you got on 18's or bigger you know is katch arse to go up the hill.

[wagonrunner]

heavy 15"s with 205/60 i think on em.

Officially up for sale guys, comment/bump as you see fit.
Breaking my heart....

[wagonrunner]

can you post your dyno chart?
1.5 cvt made 90whp by audi at dyno day this year.

betting that 2.25" exhaust robbed of you of some torque.

[turbo_beast369]

any GDI 93T men dyno tested as yet?

Nah I know what did.
I have on two resonators.
The GDI exhaust is bigger than the 4G18s and I have a 4G18 with GDI exhaust.
I had to cut down the noise and by extension the air flow by adding another resonator as wifey was complaining too much. Noticed the performance cut immediately after.

Think il take it out seeing that its for sale.

[ronsin1]

^^^ you sure she was not complaining about you

[wagonrunner]

the torque is better though. 4000-4500 musbe feels like waiting for vtec

No more idlemind

This probably is tough to do but we all have to someday.......
unless of course some of us buy cars to keep until you or it dies.

[idlemind]

Nah fellas I will still be around.
Too much experience to throw away.

Karl, what was Cathy's torque figure?
