... amazing ...

That is some impressive work! :bowdown:

This is an excellent post!It highlights one of the most important facets of electrical failures.... bad connections lead to increased resistance, ... increased resistance leads to heat ... increased heat leads to more resistance ... which leads to more heat ... pretty soon shite gets melty ...

^^^ lets go with that ^^^The vexxing thing about inermittent problems is their inter~mit~a~cal~a~tiv~ityI've gotten my ass kicked so many times by electrical problems, I never assume it's fixed until I've started it a hundred an fifty two times, ... hot ... cold ... late for work ... got a...

... that's a very dangerous and bold assumption to make, sir ...May I recommend you park on a hill henceforth? :rofl2:

I think this is the best way to solve problems like this.If you pull the starter with the loom attached, you can deal with the whole system once and for allIf you look carefully at all the connectors in this picture, you can see they all need some love.Pulling the whole system out in one...

... hey, can I borrow your screwdriver for a sec, please and thank you :bowrofl:The usual cautions apply, and if you can, have a helper standing by .... make sure they hold the camera sideways for the video :d70:edited to ad this most important detail ; MAKE SURE IT'S IN NEUTRAL BEFORE YOU...

It takes a fair bit of power to pull the solenoid in ... you can kinda tell just by the sound it makes ... a soft click versus a solid clackIt takes a pretty hard clack to make the magic happen

^^^ good lookin out!Unfortunately, this is (most likely) an AWD specific part, as the fwd fuel tank is totally different They also like to corrode in humid states, so they are fairly rare in the condition he is looking for.Several community members contacted me, and a minty unit has been sourced

Grüße aus Amerika!Ich habe mich bei Josh bei JNZ (Benutzer DSSA hier im Forum) erkundigt, ob er einen neuen Kraftstoffeinfüllstutzen hatte, und leider tat er es nicht. Er war so freundlich, nach diesem Artikel in der Mitsubishi-Händlerdatenbank hier in den Staaten zu suchen und konnte...

Guten TagSuchen Sie nach dem Metalleinfüllstutzenabschnitt, der mit dem Auto verschraubt wird und den Tankdeckel nimmt?Haben Sie ein Bild?Ich bin mir sicher, dass jemand hier einen haben wird( Dieser Mann @pot ist sehr ehrenhaft, aber ich weiß nicht, ob er international versenden wird...

Allan, ...you are correct that it's basically two relays in the housing, but there's actually three modes of operation. There's a leg that's hot 24/7 with starter engaged, and then the normal "run" leg. There's also a "prime" function on the fuel pump side all controlled by the ecu.This...

Found a little more information here;vfaq tranny gear ratiosETA; Something is goofy on that chart ... I remember my rs as having a 3.9 ratio, Edit to add; As far as i can remember the one that came in my front cut did. They were kind enough to throw the whole rear shitaree in the half cut...

Thanks for the picture! While the basic design is similiar, our USDM clusters are considerably different in both layout and configurationI think your best bet is to just check all the basics we've covered while everything is apart, and then troubleshoot after everything is back together. I...

Found this chart, don't know if you've already seen it? Mitsubishi transmission codesIt "looks" like (according to this chart) the WQWK unit is a 3.91 to 1 ratio, so you will need a matching rear diff as the stock vr4/dsm units are 3.55 unitsYou can check your t-case for compatability with...

... for the searchers;I'm helping an overseas member troubleshoot some dash / instrument cluster problems before I send a cluster out. Shippin is pretty spendy to his neck of the woods, so we're working on eliminating any other potential problems before we pay to ship a known good unit out...

^^^ Good post!It's been a long time since I had a 4g torn down, but I seem to remember that the tensioner body bolts straddled an oil passage. When they are removed during a timing belt service, I can see how the front cover body *could potentially* relax/flex enough to break the bond...

yeah,i hear ya on the different style connectors used all over these cars ... pretty frustrating!... it really makes you wonder why they couldn't pick one or two styles of terminals/shells and build the harness logical like You can say what you want about GM, their metri-pac series connectors...

It's worth noting that the a/c overtemp switch had an important job in the original configuration. When coolant temps passed it's threshold/set temp, it would shut the a/c compressor off and spin up both fansDepending on how much wiring you remove when you delete your a/c, you can utilize the...

... i would strongly recommend against using the ummm, interesting looking tool on the far right :eek5c:

... shame Kenn Inn isn't around anymore. :(He could get the O.E. spec Behr 1st gen (74-79) VW units, and they were very high quality brass radiators!We used to run those in all kinds of different configurations, and they always held up well and had more than enough capacity for all the...

.. heh ...You came to the right place ... most of us have made bad decisions, ... and some of us ( like me ) continue to do soThis problem is quite likely going to be a challenge to find if it's been there for a few years.One of the best things you can do is tidy thing up as you go. I...

Sounds like you have a legit and logical approach.I'm sorry i don;t have my manuals here,so i can;t dig into them for the grounding locations.We had some docs in the library section on the old format, but i don;t see them now? Rich (Mr Fixit) did an awesome job collating information and was...

Looks like you've done a pretty good job running down many of the likely causes. It also sounds like you've put in some time into troubleshooting the issues with some logical testing Your test of grounding the fuel sender wire was exactly the correct way to "quick test" the whole systemThe...

Hi Rich!I still see the how to section?Does this link work for you?the goodsGreat to see you here and posting again!

The good news is the interior stuff looked pretty mint and unmolested.I think once you identify all the damaged areas and repair them, things will be golden.

Quoting toybreaker: I would continue to try and run down all the individual branches of the harness and visually inspect the entire thing. I've seen issues where it runs inside that r/f fenderwell. You'll have to remove the innerfenderliner to see that run, but it's quite possible that got...

Thanks for the pics, that helps us see what you're dealing with!Quoting BlackHornet:Should I clean this stuff off and add something new?That's a special kind of grease, so I'm not sure what to tell you there.Part di-electric, part actual lubricant for the contacts, it's an...

I now see why you pulled the powertrain, that's some serious carnage.The inside/interior loom and connectors look good, so at least you got that going for you.Once the engine compartment loom is repaired, you're probably going to be good to go.

Please put your price and the vehicles location in the thread title (as per the rules)Does this have a clear title?Thanks, and hope it finds a home

^^^ good choices, nice drives ^^^Locals can hook you up with the locations of the "weeps" (spring fed waterholes in the slickrock perfect fer getting wimmens less dressed) along the Apache Trail... be sure to stop in at Tortilla Flats to hit the saloon ... the restrooms are ...

Mach,You tear into this yet?Post up pics when you do, pleaseA hit like you took will probably have pinched both front wings in a bit. As the radiator supports buckled / came back, (and probably up) it probably brought the inner fenderwells where the rad supports attaches along...

see this thread for the backstoryI have *some* of the needed items, but shipping will be a bitch.There's bound to be some horders (I mean collectors of fine automobiles) who might have spares in your neck of the woods.C'mon guys, check yer shelves / back yards / buddies stashThis is...

good info and some pics of that harness

Shane,A socketed ecu would be best, as he already has a keydiver chip set up for the the 2g maf...his ecu failed in an interesting manner (commands fuel pump 24/7)With his plans for the car, a 2g maf would be the best bet, so he'll need the e-prom version to swap his chip into (and...

Lots of good advice aboveWith the age of these cars, there are a few folks who have already been down this road (on foot, because their junk wouldn;t start )There are a bunch of old threads on this topic.here's one with picsGood luck, and please post up what fixes your issue.

Quoting iceman69510: No problem John. PM me your address ( I may still have it somewhere) or his if that works better.Thanks Dave!If you could ship it directly to him that would be best.He's got some ugly wiring to deal with as well.His car has had the maf wiring hacked more than...

Dave,Can I claim that fuel filler hose for Cory ?He picked up 205/2000, and has great need for this itemThanks!

There was a lot of love from the board put into that car, so I'm glad to see that car went to a good home.Looking forward to seeing what you guys can do with it.Welcome to the board, Robert.p.s. box of f*** hasn't been seen for some time, but I'm sure we can put something...

If an AEM system was previously installed, that suggests the car was/is modified.If you could give us a run down on what mods the car has at this time, (and what your goals for the car are) it would help us give you accurate advice on a good, cost effective path forward.As far as...

I would strongly recommend you do NOT attempt to fix that with jb weld!Do you have a better pic of the damage to the caliper threads?

Excellent postThank you for taking the time to re-upload the pictures!

Quoting Chad989of2000: This looks loke the culprit. This the seal you were talking about?The t-case input shaft seal (as pictured above) measures;45mm o.d. 30mm i.d. 6mm thickThe pressfit is approx .18mm (or ~.007 thousands of an inch)

Please add price and vehicle location to the thread title, (as per the rules.)Thanks!Does this car need anything to be viable?
