The Neon cam uses a small 1/8" pin in the end of the cam. And nothing else. No key slot.
And that's something else I have a real problem with. A pin 1/8" in diameter is all there is keeping the...
Yes, those Modern Performance gears do address some of my concerns. Although I think they could fit 8 bolts in there if they tried! :) Do they have one for a 5 SOHC 2.0 engine in a Neon?
I...
I have seen a variety of adjustable cam timing gears / pulleys, and I don't like the design of most of them.
First, anything with less than 5 bolts is asking for it to slip.
Second, I saw an...
It can move, but it doesn't move much in every day driving.
I researched the different types of RTV, and it seems the Copper stuff has the higheest temperature rating at 700 degrees, plus it specifically states it can be used on exhaust manifolds and headers....
I am very opposed to any emissions laws that interfere with my horsepower. Especially when we all KNOW it will have little if any impact on cleaning up the world while places like China can pollute...
I have a 2005 Neon I recently got to repalce my 89 2.5 Turbo Spirit as a daily driver.
But I just have to tune it up a bit, and one thing I did was get a Pacesetter header and put it in. It has...
I found the problem, it seems that #1 injector (closest to timing belt) had gone open circuit. It was 1 of a group of 4 brand new Pep Boys injectors I had put in back in 2010 and had about 45000...
I had the idea today to pull the injector plugs with the engine runningto see which ones affected it. #2 and #4 were working, as pulling them definitely hurt the idle quality. #3 had no effect, but...
My Dodge Spirit has a miss in the engine. The 1990 SBEC 2.5 Turbo computer is showing the Code 27 for #2 injector driver shorted or open.
Which cylinders does #2 driver operate? 3 and 4?
A...
It will start and idle fine on its own even in sub freezing weather, it's only when you try to load it (like when accelerating) that it starts sputtering and dropping cylinders all over the place.
The cap and rotor were changed last summer, same plug wires from 2 years ago. New (well, 5000 miles now) RN9YC plugs.
I came home from work today in 18 degree air and the car had the problem. Then...
I have gone through the car for pre-winter maintenance in the last couple months. Spark plugs were changed, I replaced the HEP with a "newer" one that had only 105K on it when the old one started...
My '89 2.5 Turbo Spirit (5 speed) has a problem I noticed a few months ago. Any time the air temperature was above 45-50 degrees, it ran fine. On cold mornings below 45 or so degrees, it'd sneeze,...
Got the job done today.
New fuel pump - $130 with tax.
New filter, fuel lines, clamps, etc - $30
A 5 foot piece of fuel injection hose to replace a rusted metal line - $35
Sore hands. I have...
I changed my filter today that had a good 10K -15 K miles on it, the fuel in it came out pretty clean. Nothing like the above photo at all of the brown mud fuel!
I went to the local Advance Auto Parts and have an Airtex complete pump assembly coming tomorrow for $130. I wanted to get the OEM Delphi unit, but it was 5-7 days waiting time. I'll get the rear end...
89 Spirit ES, 2.5 Turbo 5 speed....
Well, it finally happened. This car, which I bought 4 years and 4 months ago, and have put 93,000+ miles on, finally lost the fuel pump. And when I bought it,...
I'm about to change the timing belt and the idler / tensioner pulley on my 89 2.5 Turbo Spirit. It just turned over 200,000 miles, so the factory tensioner pulley might be a bit worn, probably should...
A few more notes:
I've been building Mopars for a good 20 years, to include RWD V8's and /6's of the 60s and 70s, and a variety of turbo and 6G72 FWD Mopars. I've built engines and automatic...
I'm looking at getting an '04-'06 Stratus or '04-'05 Neon for my next daily driver car. I'd liike a reasonable amount of speed (15 second 1/4 miles), but MPG is also important and I don't want to...
I'm looking at a 2005 Dodge Stratus with the 2.7 V6, and some mild performance mods are on my mind. 200 hp isn't enough, I need 215!:thumb:
What can be done to improve the induction system? Are...
I am looking at an '05 Stratus 4 door with the 2.7 V6, and I was thinking of doing a few mild improvements for a little extra power. Mildly ported / polished heads and intake, maybe a bit bigger...
