I need to run over to the local Pick N Pull on my lunch break in hopes of finding a cam angle sensor for my GVR4 that is stuck at work. I'll obviously check the 4G63 power cars, but which other cars/ engines should I check if I can't find any 4G63's? My understanding is that there are sensors...

Help me out guys. My car fires right up when I turn the key, but dies immeditately. It climbs to 1000rpm and dies. Very similar to what happens when you pull the fuse to the fuel pump. It seems to be getting fuel, I even got a small back fire after a few tries to start it. I did try cranking...

I had a ball joint pop out of the control arm on the freeway. Not a fun experience. I haven't had a chance to inspect the arm yet, but I assume it's damaged. Is our arm only on the GVR4 and GGSX? The FWD arms are different, due to the swaybar mount, correct? I can use AWD DSM arms, but I have...

I've developed a strange transmission problem. It started about a week ago when I would occasionally miss second gear. There was no grind, just no gear. After moving the shifter a bit and trying again, all was well. Over the course of the week it started becoming more frequent. This was strange...

I'm having a hell of a time getting my GVR4 dialed in. I've been having an issure with part throttle knock. As soon as I build any boost at part throttle, the knock counts jump up. I can peg the knock counts at 43 with 2psi on the gauge, and about 30% throttle. I don't think it's phantom knock...

My car had a strange sticking throttle issue. It only sticks when fully closed, and only when returned to closed rapidly. If I jump off the throttle, it takes quite a bit of pressure to get the pedal to budge, then it's fine. It also only happens when the engine is running, and is 100%...

I picked up my GVR4 back in 2001. I saw it being towed from a local grocery store. The tow truck driver was getting ready to leave, but was trying to tow it with the rear wheels on the ground. I warned him that the car was AWD, and he could not tow it that way. He blew be off, saying it would be...

My GVR4 is one of the cars that has the ASC installed sunroof, not the Mitsu sunroof. I've done headliners before, but this car is very different. I removed the old headliner, and discoved that there is no backer board like most have. Instead, there are just a couple sections of the original...

Has anyone had any luck with a Miata battery in their GVR4? Pep Boys has a old style Miata (the good, AGM type) for a good price. It's small, lightweight, and won't leak. It also has a good warranty. Cold cranking amps is pretty low, but I figure a low compression 2.0 is probably easier to turn...

Well, it's been a great nine years. I should have stuck it out one more to round out the decade. But it's time to move on. I'll miss the rest of you guys, you've been great. I hope the next group I join will be as knowledgeable and supportive. Things are so different now from when I first joined...

My GVR4 has been off the road for a while- about 8 years. I finaly found time to finish it, and resumed work on it a couple months ago. When I did the T-belt, I spun the oil pump a bit with a drill to circlate the oil a since it had been sitting so long. I should mention that I also replaced the...

I've got a few starters laying around that are a mix of AWD, FWD, manual and auto. My car has been sitting for so long that I forgot which one belonged to it. What is the easiest way to identify a 1G, AWD, manual transmission starter?Thank you,

Long time no post. My GVR4 has been mothballed for most of the last decade, and I'm finaly getting around to putting it back togther. I got the car for a steal years ago. I bought it from a tow yard that didn't know what it was for pretty much scrap value. It had been abandoned and towed. It...
