Transfer case has it's own drain and its own fill. As far as the cutting out- If it didn't happen before you did your tune up- go over your work and make that you've reconnected everything that was disconnected during your initial work. One more thing- completely random/unexplanable issues can often be attributed to leaking capacitors in the MFI ECU. This is a very common occurance in 1G and some early 2G 3000GT/Stealths. Its not a matter of IF it will leak- its a matter of WHEN it will leak.

Don't pay too much attention to what that other guy said. You can pretty much look back at his last 50 or so posts and realize he has no clue. His post count sure does keep climbing though which is obviously important to him.
Spraying decarb cleaner or throttle body cleaner is the easiest and most common way to locate a vacuum leak- any real technicain/mechanic will agree with you.

Are you ****ing kidding me?

I know using a tank of propane is common, but I still advise against using volatile combustables to test for leaks.

 

Thanks, and the stuttering was a vacuum hose under my y-pipe. But what do you mean by leak?

 

Vac leak means letting air in. The point of using carb cleaner/propane is to allow the engine to draw in the propellant from the leak source.

 

Ha the funny thing is Sebba is what 17 years old and has never owned a car.


BTW sebba the advise given in this thread was not wrong in anyway IMO. Ive done it before myself. Not to mention Joel is actually a Mitsu Tech who knows these cars in and out. Maybe due to his work but look at his sig he also owns 2 and one of them is extremely rare

 

Thanks everyone. Lets not be too harsh on Sebba, I know we have all said things we wish we had not...and we all learn by them. It's makes us better in the long run.

Now.. for the good news... I just bought an 1995 3000 GT SL , leather seats, RED, automatic, new timing belt, new tires... etc.. Its in GREAT shape. I will take delivery of it tomorrow. !!.. yaaaa....

I guess you have me in your "club" now...

 

I meant when he was talking about the ECU leaking

 

I'm referring the the ECU's power supply capacitors. Over time, the capacitors leak acid all over the pc board causing all kinds of mystery drivability problems from stalling, failure to start, misfires, idle problems- and MORE. If you do a google search on it- you'll find all the info you need including what to do about it. I bought my VR4 for cheap cause the owner had a tough time selling it due to capacitor related drivability problems (not to mention it would not stay running). I replaced the capacitors myself and haven't had any problems since.
