[@johnmarstin8207]

you do a better job explaining how to do this then any other guy on youtube

[@Jursaw]

I appreciate the kind comment!

[@zappy595]

It's so satisfying to see an old piece of sh*t and see it slowly turned into a masterpiece.

[@Jursaw]

I haven't turned this into a masterpiece haha but thanks

[@SANTANA1deep]

I subscribed. thank you for tackling this job. It is going to help me prepare for when I begin to start working on mine once again. Keep posting! Again... THANK YOU SO MUCH. -Santana

[@Jursaw]

SANTANA1deep You are welcome and thanks for subscribing! I am here to help if you need it.

[@fader2701]

good to see you clean up that battery tray. folks forget about doing the details sometimes like new hardward. or recoating with some rustoleum

[@zackinblack]

wow, such a nice project car and a lot of fun when you get these beauties up and running. keep the dream alive man

[@Jursaw]

Thanks! Has been hard lately because I haven't had much time to work on it.

[@SuperWesty177]

When I saw this on tavarishs channel thought I'd love to see someone restore it up glad you made a yt series about it!!

[@Jursaw]

Modified Dynasty Thank you!

[@user-wr5qy3ls6l]

awesome Bro, your clip is a great help for a potential home DIY mechanic like me

[@erikt211]

Let me make a suggestion that will help you out immensely when working on old dirty cars: PB Blaster. Always hit every nut and bolt with it and let it sit a bit before trying to do anything. Always helps me

[@dejectedsasquatch3792]

Subbed, good luck. My dad and I have worked on several cars that have been sitting for a while, but nothing of this caliber. It's going to be so satisfying when it's finished.

[@Jursaw]

Thanks for the sub! This is probably the worst I have worked on. I can't wait until I can daily it.

[@T1374]

Good instructions man thanks.

[@Jursaw]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@erliches71]

thanks for the vid's man. keep doing that. like it 👍

[@Jursaw]

erliches71 Thanks! I just want to get this car back on the road!

[@JohanGavieres]

Can't wait to see this car done! Yes sir you got yourself a follower

[@Jursaw]

haha thanks!

[@TheHiruma212]

so you bough it? nice video, keep it up m8 ! ill stick with your channel to see this project !

[@Jursaw]

Yeah I jumped on the deal really quickly, thanks for watching!

[@gzanrahman7771]

Good info. Nw I know where's the fuel filter located. Thanks for the video. Any info about mitsubushi 3000gt turbo gauge not functioning?

[@kevinfisher2848]

Dude you just saved me 100$ great video.

[@WarpDriveM]

hey man i think your car's problem is the throthle body or the camshaft sensor! one or the other i'm preaty sure because my old car had the same problem! keep doing the good job!

[@Jursaw]

Warp Drive M I will be sure to check them out! Thanks for commenting and watching, I appreciate it

[@wayne12735]

Nice car keep up with the project

[@Jursaw]

Thanks for watching!

[@SpudEater]

I'm so glad to see this car is still on youtube haha. I saw when he was selling it and though to myself "that's the last I'll see that car."

[@Jursaw]

This car deserves to get back on the road lol I wish I could have seen it when it was new!

[@SpudEater]

Jursaw Haha, good on you for being the person to make it happen! I'm looking at a 1995 VR4 in my area that is completely stock and really good shape.

[@Jursaw]

Thanks, check it out and if it's worth it then you should make videos on it. These cars are only getting harder to find!

[@tunerrepairsek8907]

really good vid man :)

[@Jursaw]

Thanks!

[@MBZS500]

Do you have the part number for the copper washers?

[@hotdogtimemachine2]

best vid out there

[@tammysedillo6873]

thanks bro you where a big help saved us some $ .you know anything about interior lights bulbs are good checked with test light power going thru fuses are good but aint getting no lights

[@Jursaw]

Tammy Sedillo I'm glad to see that I helped you save money! Only thing I would say is that the switch could be bad or just a bad bulb or the wiring going from the fuse to the light is damaged. I plan to get white LED interior lighting in this car

[@tammysedillo6873]

Jursaw ill look in to it thanks.bro good video

[@Jursaw]

Tammy Sedillo thanks and no problem

[@jfolk3592]

That fitting at 11:19 is what is keeping mine from working, I have sprayed it with all sorts of penetrating fluids and it won’t budge. It’s starting to slightly bend the metal line. Does anyone have any tips???

[@joshcollier801]

Fuel injectors ? And when are ya posting another video?! I've been watching this car since Freddy first got it and I'm so ready to see it running perfect !

[@Jursaw]

I don't know, I have to do some further diagnosing. I am ready to drive it haha I am trying to work on this car but its hard because of my full time job and now it gets dark at 5 PM haha

[@mullorip8681]

Im thinking of buying one and I wanted to. Get a feel. Of what I would be getting and found your channel.. I think you should pull the engine down and just chance the internal parts as you you fresh seals and timing it looks like it has been parked a while..

[@Jursaw]

Mullo Rip Thanks for watching and yeah it was parked for a long time

[@FUNKOfilms]

I have no reason to suspect mine is bad but considering it's at 108,000 miles and I'm going to do a 120k service in the spring I might just do this anyway. The battery is out for winter so there's step one already done.

[@elkillerx]

Before you go any further into it do a compression check on all the cylinders and also test to see if the head gasket isn't leaking.

[@Jursaw]

I am going to do that this weekend and hopefully have a video up on it

[@Mukbangtcg]

I love your videos bro ..you should make video tutorial on how to get the headlight lids to pop up because I can't get it to work anymore

[@Jursaw]

Thanks! Yours were working then they stopped?

[@Mukbangtcg]

Yes they were working now they don't pop up but the lights and high beams still work

[@superzeke101]

I had the same problem with my 1987 Toyota MR2. It turn out that the engine and transmission wasn't getting a proper ground connection. Hope you figure it out.

[@Jursaw]

Thanks, I want to replace the ground cables and terminals on this car real soon!

[@MrAristes]

I had a 2001 Z28 that I let sit due to needing a re-tune. The car hibernated for nearly 5 years. It had a Holley 255 fuel pump in it with maybe 2,500 miles on it. Sitting in varnish and water (10% ethanol blend) ruined the pump. It didn't want to rev, run well, or keep pressure (checked it with a gauge on the fuel rail) and finally crapped out prior to loading the car onto a trailer. I had to drain the tank, flush it (acetone works), replace the pump with a Walbro 255, and replace the fuel filter. My buddy bought the car and it runs very well and is lovingly stored in his garage. If you're going to keep the car you might as well drop the tank and replace the fuel pump before it dies on you when you're driving it. Just my .02 based on my experience. Check fuel pressure if you get a chance, your car probably has a valve somewhere on the fuel rail that you can tap into to.

[@Jursaw]

MrAristes MrAristes The fuel tank was replaced but I think the fuel pump that was put into it was used so that wasn't a good idea to reuse fuel pump. I think I have to get a special fitting or something to check the pressure.

[@MrAristes]

Keep up the good work on the car, I'm subscribing. My one friend had a gauge that screwed onto the schrader valve on the rail of my Z28. We saw PSI drop down to carb levels (12-16 PSI) as the pump was dying. I understand if your Mitsu is different. I just watched your video doing the compression test. Did you ever go back and squirt some engine oil into the spark plug hole and take a new reading? If #6 cylinder is low and you use a long, thin funnel to put a few ounces of oil in; the pressure reading will increase if the cylinder/rings are the culprit. The numbers won't change if the problem is above in the head/valve area. Just a thought since this trick is old and works pretty well.

[@Jursaw]

MrAristes I was going to go back and put some oil in the cylinders to see if the pressure would go up to blame the rings but I didn't. I will do that soon though. Thanks for the sub!

[@SirChickenstrips]

Quality of this video is definetly an improvement on the previous one. Let's see about that compression test now :)

[@Jursaw]

Sir Chickenstrips Thanks! I am still using my iPhone because I am unsure about which camera I should get.

[@khodamoradmoradpour6251]

will you make a video on how to fix the SRS light

[@geerap8746]

Khodamorad Moradpour get that light fixed yet? having the same issue, taking off the negative battery terminal don’t work.

[@will172005]

When you're turning your hard line in bottom which way are you twisting the 19 and 14 wrenches?

[@will172005]

On*

[@malcolmhardwick4258]

So what happened about this car ?

[@rickedwards7172]

With actually seeing some rust in the fuel line, should you of shot some cleaner down it a few times, and blew it out again ?

[@Jursaw]

I probably should have I don’t remember. It has been a long time lol

[@rickedwards7172]

@@JursawSorry was not slamming ;-) Its that I am working on a 92 Stealth tt that was sitting for 11 years, and am in process of having the tank redone. I already redid the fuel sending unit and replaced the fuel pump. The reason I was asking was wondering if I could get by by just blowing out the old fuel ? thru the lines like you did, then just using a gas additive in the gas when assembled, vs trying to blow chemicals though the line?

[@ryandavis3091]

I'm curious too. I'm also wondering if i can use the fuel pump to pump the old fuel out. I saw you can add power to a black plug in the engine bay and the pump will run without the car being on.

[@xendlessxadrenalinexjm4105]

hey, excuse me, can you send me the link of the airgun you used to blow air throught the gas lines? thank you!

[@Jursaw]

Jose Marroquin Strongest air blow gun I know of amzn.to/2pf2XCm

[@xendlessxadrenalinexjm4105]

Jursaw thank you so much for your input!

[@wsupercool]

Fuck man, loosing up that fuel part at the bottom blows. Been here for over an hour. You make it look easy 😂 thanks for the vid 🙏🏾

[@carhoarder602]

Helps if you have a crows foot wrench

[@J5sense2]

how long have you been working on cars? I have been in the field for 16 years and picked up on the little things you do. very professional.

[@Jursaw]

Jason Nickel I went to vocational school for the 2 years they offer and graduated 2015. I never worked in a repair shop. I like watching videos and other mechanics on youtube to learn and get better! I work on my friend's and families cars but not often. I would like to get into the field as a technician but every place around here has cons I do not like.

[@J5sense2]

Jursaw you seem to have the talent for it. As well as the tools. Lots of nice snap on stuff. You would do well. If you lived close to Columbia sc I would hire you we have plenty of work and a ac shop! But it is a hard field to get into. (Well the dealership side) As for your car... have you swapped a known good maf sensor? It seems to me that's what is acting up. Or you have a decent boost leak. 3sx sells a boost leak tester that bolts right up and you use compressed air to check for leaks. I would try that next.

[@Jursaw]

Jason Nickel Thanks! I take that as a compliment. I love Snap-On tools but I don't buy too many because I like trying different brands that do the same thing if not better for a cheaper price. That sounds really great! There is so much competition around me it is crazy. Theres like 4 shops on one block. We have dealerships left and right. I would rather work in a private repair shop honestly. I have not swapped a known good MAF sensor because I have not been able to find one and I do not feel like shedding a few hundred bucks for a new one. Funny enough, saturday I started it up and it idled funny and the CEL came on. I checked the code and it was code 53. I was thinking about making a video on how to check the codes. Code 53 says, harness and connector, ignition coil, and power transistor unit. I believe it was dumping fuel down into the cylinders and not having enough spark to burn it. The coils are old and rusty looking. I have to do some more diagnosing.

[@Jursaw]

Jason Nickel I was thinking of making my own boost leak tester that wont blow off. I definitely want to check for a boost leak though.

[@JakeC97]

Wow you made it seem like the banjo bolt came off easy i Came here to see if I was doing something wrong but I guess not I just feel like I'm about to tear mine off the firewall😂

[@Jursaw]

Lol gotta give er the beans!

[@francoperez-palma8511]

did you fill up the water reservoir thats on the trunk? the light in the dash is for the rear reservoir not for the front one btw...

[@Jursaw]

I checked it and it did have fluid in it. I read that the rear reservoir doesn't have a sensor for the light?

[@francoperez-palma8511]

+Jursaw mmm thatss weird cause both front and rear show different symbols in the dash

[@Jursaw]

I am going to have to look into it again

[@geerap8746]

What was the car doing to make you change the fuel filter??

[@Jursaw]

It was just a maintenance part that I felt needed to be changed. The car did sit for a long time too. Old fuel sitting in fuel lines, fuel tank and fuel filter isn't good for the vehicle.

[@AhPhoey]

Do you need to relieve the fuel pressure before you take out the filter?

[@Jursaw]

I suggest you do that way when you loosen the fittings, you don't get sprayed with fuel

[@AhPhoey]

Oh OK. But not necessarily dangerous if I don't, just messy?

[@Jursaw]

AhPhoey Just don't have any open flames or anything that can create a spark to ignite the fuel if it does spray out!

[@AhPhoey]

True true.

[@fairbornCCF]

The hardline that comes out of the top of the fuel hat is very bent and could be restricted. This happens all of the time. It is better not to mess with the connection at the fuel hat and only remove the one under the car. You can replace the fuel hat with any 3000gt, but you have to replace the bracket at the bottom of the fuel pump on non v-r4 models.

[@fairbornCCF]

Just check your fuel pressure to make sure it is not restricted

[@Jursaw]

Yeah it doesn't look great, the reason why I tool it off the top of the tank was to blow out that fuel line with compressed air. Thanks for sharing that info, I might look into getting one in better condition in the near future

[@Jursaw]

I will have to get a gauge

[@265308]

damn finally finished watching all these videos wish found em 2 months ago cos could told u day on da iac was ur main problem! btw u outta contact that cat who has a huge following to inform his subs that ur doing videos n this cos bet shit load people like me that had no clue u the new owner was keeping the joourney alive via utube videos! cheerz! n i u ever wanna sell just say da word.

[@Jursaw]

265308 Thanks and I will tell him because I commented on his videos so hopefully people see that and jump onto my channel! I'll be sure to let my sus know if I ever do want to sell it.

[@265308]

hey do contact U cos u mentioned on a video that u make decals? need 2 set of windshield decals let me know how to contact u cos youtube changed their shit for contact. email: c o k e 0 8 _ d i s c o u n t @ y a h o o . c o m that number zero and number 8.

[@defensivedreams6902]

Where you buy your parts at?

[@Jursaw]

Rock auto, ebay, cherry hill mitsubishi dealership (local to me) and from a guy named Aaron chandler on facebook. He sells everything you can think of because he parts out these cars.

[@_carnage2v927]

Test the maf

[@Jursaw]

zach masciarelli I'm going to test that and a few other sensors

[@barrysauce]

Almost seems like the temp sensor. I had a vw vr6 and that sensor broke and I wasn't aware of it. When I tried to rev it up over 3K it would just stop and die back to idle. Also not sure if the other KZbinr ever got to check the fuses. At this point. Check fuses and Check sensors. Can read the codes with an OBDII reader I bet you have one. Its a Japan motor so its nothing like a german motor but I'm sure the temp sensor is pretty much the same thing. That would make sense for the rev part but the smoking is probably major motor issues. Have a special camera can pull the plugs 1 by 1 and see if the piston is cracked or has a hole in it. 1 had water in it towards the back. Running OK now but I bet it will need a rebuild.

[@Jursaw]

Thanks for the tip, I will have to look further into it, this car like bogs when you try to rev it with the pedal depressed all the way but when you ease into it, it revs up high. I don't think this car has a OBDll port because it is an older car. (pre 1996)

[@barrysauce]

My vr6 was a 1996 and it had OBDII I did a search and your car has OBDI but right after that it was OBDII I'm sure. It makes sense it is a sensor since when you rev up the car the sensor adjusts for more gas or air. I might be completely wrong but the problem sure sounds like it. Check all sensors and make sure they are not broken. The rat could of broke some of the wires and that would totally make sense. Get the manual and read the codes. When you reset the battery the ecu has to re-learn everything again on the adjustments to air fuel. Altitude all that crap. Good luck and keep us posted.

[@barrysauce]

Now it even makes more sense. Check this out. www.3sx.com/store/comersus_viewItemBundle.asp?idProduct=24799

[@Jursaw]

It does sound like a possibility. I will check this out tomorrow. I hope no rodents damaged the wiring or any components. Thanks for your help!

[@Jursaw]

I hope my sensor is good because that is a pricey little sensor haha

[@bandyb476]

When are you going to let me buy this

[@Jursaw]

local eugene After I do the 60k service I will see

[@zachdailyfost4433]

i had a 92 stealth RT NA, i 100% hated replacing that damn fuel filter. worst time of my life.. next to replacing pcv valves on a 300zx

[@zachdailyfost4433]

also i highly reccomend using the vp racing fuels one tank supplement of fuel system treatment for a while to help clear out carbon and gunk from everywhere

[@Jursaw]

Zach leinbach This fuel filter was kinda fun honestly, a lot easier then my toyota pickup's fuel filter!

[@zachdailyfost4433]

oh i bet, haha. i pissed my neighbors off when i had mine.. lol.

[@Jursaw]

Zach leinbach I don't have anything that I could piss mine off with...that is until I fix my VR4 haha

[@zachdailyfost4433]

haha not to long ago i pissed them off with my buddies GTR.. haha. i think the only happy one was the russian guy across the street

[@ChrisEsposito]

U need to fix that kink in the hard line..
