It must have fell off. So that must not be your problem.

I would start looking at the center diff as we said before.

Yeah, those damn flamidation valves can be a pain when they get sticky. Luckily they are pretty easy to free them back up.

**1ViciousGSX** · 10-15-2005

Can you say WD-40?

I was in WI for 4 days again. Now I am catching up in the garage and I will be heading out to Canada soon for 3-4 days.

Jeez man! I sold the car to someone who said they were going to take care of it and it sounds like you are thrashing the shit out of it! Oh well it is your dollar...3600 of them to be exact.

Do me a favor...if you terminally break the car...DONT'T CALL ME BITCHING ABOUT IT!

Nah - I haven't been beating the car. Dont worry though - I think you still sold me a nice car. I rewired the fuel pump, put in a Walbro 190, leds under the car, neons inside and finished the timing belt and water pump.
Planning to put in 650 cc, 2g maf, socket the ecu and chip it for the 650 cc, safc 2, electronic boost controller, HG + ARP head studs, fix the exhaust leak, more gauging. The finally dyno it with Shane.

Hey the price was 3600 plus the plane ticket remember? LOL!

I wish there had been more time for a few beers before you left.

I know you had driveline issues - what did you have to fix? Let me know so I won't look in that direction - so I'll look into stuff you didn't need to fix and it could be showing up just coz of age. I may look into a Shep tranny next year.

Ahhh, it's all becoming clear now. If youz gotz da neonz undah the car, youz don't need dat center diff messin up ya ride.

Let's see driveline issues:

Tranny case split...replaced the tranny.
Transfer case leaking...replaced T-case with tranny from same car.
UV joints in prop shaft making noise...replaced all three.

That's about it for the driveline issues I knew of.

It stopped ticking dammit. Now it's still slipping, but the clicking sound went away.

Super Bleeder!! · 10-16-2005

Neons!!?

sleepydsm · 10-16-2005

Oh jeez...

Jakey · 10-16-2005

I think there is a Vfaq or Tuners tech article explaining the swap.

sleepydsm · 10-16-2005

Yeah, I read that VFAQ when we swapped that 6 bolt in my friends 2G. We broke off the valve when we were swapping the engine. Good thing it was an easy fix!

**Kracka** · 10-16-2005

With LED's and neons, why even bother with driving the car? Just pose in a parking lot with the door propped open and your leg hanging out! Any plans for a larger turbo to go along with those 650cc fuel injectors?

Neons can be what causes the flamidation valve go to bad in the first place. The frequency of the fluorescent light can cause a partial interference with the natural frequency of the flux capacitor on the flamidation valve leading to valve failure. I wish I could find the damn Vfaq on this, it spells out this issue quite well and includes pictures.

Remember what section this is in? RK your going to have to get away from the computer long enough to try a few things. Posting ten new tech threads a day isn't going to help you. The problem you are describing is probably something simple or its all in your head.

Maybe your clutch is slipping? Why don't have somebody that has atleast some clue about cars drive your car. I am sure the answer is a simple one.

DSMs don't fix themselves, drop the keyboard and let go of the mouse, then pick up a wrench. You will find that they really not that complicated, its already fucked up, whats the worst that can happen?
