Re: 92 talon tsi
no check engine light, haven't done anythin but ty to fix the oil leak due to the cracked valve cover. I'm just gonna get a new one.. I've been told it could be a ton of different things from the MAF to a fuel filter... and everything between... has anyone seen this and if so what is the normal causes
People love to hate these cars and most of the time refuse to properly maintain them or do anything correctly and destroy them rather than do things right. More than likely some parts are installed wrong. Probably vacuum/boost leaks.

Re: 92 talon tsi
ok so i had the car running and pinched off the four vac lins to the throtle body and no change. I i felt for pressure at the hose to the intake and it stumbles when boost starts to build but there is a boost control valve in ther that i just noticed and don't know if that might be doin it. I also think the people before me put regular gas in it and it's spitting carbon out the tailpipe... i know that's not good. If anyone in norfolk has a stock tsi i'ld like to look at it to compare see if there is anything else that i'm not noticing cause i'm unfamiliar with this motor...

Re: 92 talon tsi
That will definitely cause problems, that's for sure.
Buying a used DSM is a gamble. Most of them have been passed around so many times to so many shade tree mechanics (I use that term loosely) that you never know what you actually have or what the quality of the work is. It's kinda like buying a CRX. After the first 15 owners, usually half of the car has been completely fucked up by idiots.

Re: 92 talon tsi
timing belts and pullys have been changed and fixed along with the water pump. it runs a bit better but stumbles a little still but only after it warms up... and now the cooling fans only kick on when the ac is on and we can't get them on any other way even if we jump it???? it's reading normal heat on the cluster but it'll boil over???? anyone have an idea.
