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.

Re: 92 talon tsi
well we are thinking it's either the thermostate or the thermo sensor... but that's not the big issue now we've noticed that there is oil going into the intake most likely from the turbo so i got to get that fixed first... so alot of work yet but it's be worth it....

Re: 92 talon tsi
idk what's up with this thing.. it's not over heating now.. it has all the timing done as well as a new water pump. I changed the valve cover and it sounded worse. my brother took off the pipe from the by pass valve and it made it idle better but smoked bad and fell on it's face. That pipe has oil coming out of it badly when he took it off. I changed the pcv valve and and reconnected the piping it's idleing better but still stumbles when about 2k till about 3300 as well as smokes but only on boost. Now what i'm thinking might be wrong is that there is oil where it shouldn't be, and it suffacating the system. I know that it's had one maybe two turbos go on it and that the oil might be from one of them... ... And should there be a hose running from the left side of the valve cover to the air box pipe..

Re: 92 talon tsi
the oil isn't as bad as i thought it was... and the stumbling throught the rpms is something else compleatly now... Simply cause i have no spark now and i'm getting nothing from the coil... is there a fuse or something that controls the coil...

Re: 92 talon tsi
its been a long time since i delt with dsm's, but if I remember correctly from the "cavcar" days Dave is a dsm guru, maybe he can back me up. Have you pulled your ecu and looked to see if the caps have started to swell and pop?
