<![CDATA[DSM problem. :mad:]]>I am currently having multiple problems right now with my Talon. The idle sucks really bad after it warms up. Once the engine is warmed up it idles around about 800 rpms but the engine every few seconds will seem to jerk like it was missing on a cylinder or something.

Also when I am approaching or have past 3000 rpms while acclerating it stutters and acclerates very slowly as if it were on a wake-up strip on the freeway. I called a shop here in Fergus and they said it could be a timing belt.

I did a little research and found out that it may be due to some bad plug wires but who really knows. Also some other things that are wrong right now is that my power steering does not work and the CV joints are bad. Not sure if they are related but you never really know.

If you have low oil pressure then there's nothing short of replacing or rebuilding an engine that'll give you oil pressure. I'd just drive it for now and keep a good eye on it. I thought it might just be a bad sensor but if your guage reads low also, than it's a good indication that it's low. Save your pennies for an engine from SLS. They have done countless Jap-spec engine swaps and are reasonable about price.

My problem was that my engine leand out and i broke a valve, and that was why my engine was doing that exact same thing. Not to scare you cause it could be something minor like what you are thinking but that is what happened to me. 😮

Weshole helped me get some plug wires which therefore once installed ended my problem. Car feels so much better now.

you would probably be just fine sending it to Shep or if your feeling really rich send it to T.R.E.
I am thinking a Shep rebuilt tranny with a new differential and rear end should do the trick for me and it should hold all the horsepower I want to throw at it.

Are any of those cars for sale and in running condition? My sister wants to get a car like mine.

That is in the plans this summer. I was planning on sending it out to Shep. Does SLS do Tranny rebuilds? I am sure they have some loaner cars for me too. 😛

I hear ya.

So far really my DSM has only given the one problem and the rest of the stuff is just routine maintenance.
