#250 of 296 Re: 91 3000 GT SL TRANSMISSON PROBLEMS [ngtz] by 3kgtvr4 Dec 15, 2008 (9:38 am)
Replying to: ngtz (Dec 15, 2008 9:14 am) You could try to search on 3si.org and or post a new question. If you have done all those repairs and have to reset it then you might need to check the ECU. Its the main computer under the dash in the center console. After about 10 or 12 years the capacitors are known to go bad. There are people that will replace them or sell you a rebuilt ECU for $150 ish dollars. Don't buy new from the dealer unless you have to. Its always a good idea to check the 3S club boards before trusting a mechanic many are under qualified and not trustworthy. Another strategy is to get your Mitsu or Dodge dealer to diagnose the car and then take it to a more affordable mechanic. Just pay them the $65 bux for the expert diagnosis. Its worth it in the long run.

Other wise there might be some evidence thatthe timing belt cover was removed which would indicate that maybe the belt was changed at the recommended 60k maintenance.

Replying to: bradricks (Mar 12, 2009 5:09 pm) I have used RPS and ACT clutches and like them both. Just get anything better than stock. Google 3SX or Dynamic racing for prices. they are both 3000gt specialty shops. Replies to this message: narin (Apr 21, 2009 11:34 pm) jamj1234 (Sep 03, 2009 4:59 pm) jamj1234 (Sep 04, 2009 5:46 am)
#256 of 296 Low oil Pressure and ticking and white smoke 3000Gt by ogvideo Apr 14, 2009 (1:25 pm)
Wondering if some one can give me advice on what to do with my 95 3000GT SL n">on turbo. I bought it during the winter and saw no smoke or oil pressure problems in the cold weather. Now it's springtime and I noticed that the car loses oil pressure (according to the oil pressure gague) and after a while will start to hear ticking from the valves or the top of the motor. When I rev the engine, the oil pressure comes up to about half way up. when I let it idle, the oil pressure reads below the halfway point. that is problem #1.   Problem #2...I noticed that the car sometimes puts out white smoke while idling. Can any one tell me what this is and is it expensive to fix. This will determine if I will drive this car or sell it. I suspect the oil pump may be what causes the low oil pressure reading, and maybe the valve rings are causing the smoke. But I don't really know. HEEEELLLLPPPPP!!! Please.

Replying to: ogvideo (Apr 14, 2009 1:25 pm) White smoke out the exhaust, is from burning water/radiator coolant. In a non-turbo vehicle, the cause is usually a blown headgasket.   I don't know whether your turbo has cooling, or adds another possible cause in addition to the headgasket.   Did you start beating and winding out this engine?   Make sure you aren't sitting with water in your oil (height of oil is high, or milky foamy oil), or oily residue in your radiator.

Replying to: sparky121 (Oct 14, 2008 2:27 pm) Hey; I think I will need to replace my oil pump. can you tell me how to do it myself? or is it expensive to pay a mechanic to do it? Thanks, Orlando 845-414-5922 or ogvideoyahoo.com
