92 talon tsi
I just picked this up about a week ago and i'm havin issues with it... it will start up and idle for a few mins and dies (when it's cold). It will idle for sometime when it's warm outside but is very rought and when i give it gas it bogs down between 2000 - 3100. I haven't done much but am looking to see if there are leaks or if anything is unpluged. I toy with it just about everyday and would like to know if there is something i'm missing.. My dd is a simple honda...

Re: 92 talon tsi

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

Re: 92 talon tsi
I own a 91 eclipse gsx. Is it an automatic or manual? Have you tried the 02 sensor? What gear is it in and how fast are you going when it bogs down?
People may say your car is a POS but when its running good you will be loving it. DSM's are like that.

Re: 92 talon tsi
I got a 5spd talon with a 4g63t in it. As far as i know it's a stock motor but i was told when i bout it that the guy before him had a different turbo on it before he bought it. That turbo i have but it's physically samller then the stock turbo and is locked up. When the kid i got it from went and looked at it the first time it ran fine and when through the rpms with no problem. He went back to buy it and it had the stock turbo and the guy babied it through the gears. The kid i got it from doesn't know how to drive manual btw. the only mods i can see on it are strut tower bars and two aftermarket gauges, a boost and air/fuel gauge. It need a new valve cover cause it's cracked and two bolts on the exaust manifold. I leaks a little at the mani but no more then a two inch crack in the tailpipe. the rpm problem happens in every gear even neutral. this is my first turbo car, and i'm not a dsm guy i've always drove a honda so i'm out of my element.. I'm going to try to get a vid of it acting up and hope to have that on in a few days..

Re: 92 talon tsi
Did you buy it from this kid in norfolk or portsmouth. If so I know that car and it was in horrible shape when I looked at it. I say check your plugs and O2 sensor.
