Hopefully I can get her running today if not k20 vtec swap is the route to go haha neevvvveerrr.

Thanks soedweskey for the tool. Well can anyone tell me what is the purpose of the cranksensor. If the codes comes up wich it did the car wont turn on right. My ecu keeps trowing code after code after code.

crank sensor controls spark.

Alright well I cant do it im putting the eclipse for sale. hahahah nnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr

well my baby she lives i tell you she lives muahahahaha I got it running the tool from soadweskey help alot I mean alot that was the whole problem man well thanks to everyone in here specially soadweskey for that tool hahaha and gus well everyone that helped me or said something to me. Monday night meet here I come man I am so excited and I fell better I didnt pay noone to do it the time is 12:00 am hahaha man im happy she is purring like a kitten and new motor mounts tranny mounts nothing vibrates the engine sits still. New oil new everything hahaha. I just thought I would let you guys know that my car is running and idles like a sexy beast at 750rpms. There is something loos tho not from the timing belt but from the other pulleys I will replace them anyways. Next is im doing my whole exhaust stock inches everything.

Congrats man, glad to hear you got it running and can make it out to a meet now.

Yeah thanks soadweskey the good thing I dont have to look for a timing belt change for another 50,000 miles right hahaha. The cool thing is I got everything to align the first time cranked it 1/4 counter clockwise then did 6 full revolution clockwise and all marks align on the dot I say beginners luck or I might be the next dsm god hahaha jk jk.

Oh yeah soadweskey I wil give back the tool this monday k thanks again.

Wow talking about bringing my old thread back. Well today I got my exhaust leak fixed and man can you hear the turbo spool haha. The leak was really big no wonder car acted dumb. Can anyone in here tell me why my car keeps messing up timing. I know im not doing the tension pulley right or im not tightening it enough. Is there someone that can help me with this part. Gus if you read this help a dsmer out lol.

My hydralic tensioner is good is new. I know im not doing the tesioner pulley right thats why I was asking how are you suppose to do it. I know you used the special tool to put tension on the pulley and then you tightened it. Can someone help me out with this part.

Are you following these steps exactly?

You use the special tool attached to a torque wrench that can measure small amounts of torque, and rotate the tool so it tensions the belt, and apply around 3ft lbs and tighten the center bolt. Im doing this exact thing on a 2g tomorrow once the machine shop gives me the head back.

I took everything off the front of the engine. I double checked the timing i guessed I did it wrong last time by not aligning all the marks. So it read I was to teeth off. Now my crank oil all sprockets are in time to the right on the spot. Compression test when I did it came at 180 220 220 180. My car still feels like it has a vacuum leak but dont know were. When strider050 did the boost leak test pressure was escaping from the screw that you turn to regulate idle not BISS. More pressure was escaping from the side of the throttle body. Very minimal on the side of the throttle body but the screw it was bubbling up like crazy. My problems now are knocking from the lifters and my car on cold start up dies right after. Sometimes I crank the engine and it turns and wants to start then I give it some gas and it starts. Not all the time it does the cranking issue. When im crusing at a steady speed and my rpms drop below 2k the rpms just go and down up and down around 300 rpms everytime. Can this be a shitty throttle body. What else can be causing these issues.
