Eagle Talon

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum but I need help. My friend has a 90 eagle talon tsi turbo. It runs fine but when you shut it off and then try to restart it, it won't start, but if you let it sit for a little while it starts fine. Any info would great.

Camshaft/Crankshaft position sensor?

That's Audi btdt, not DSM, btw, but pull DTC's and see, this is a known issue with 4G63's, FWIW

could also be a coolant temp sensor thing. sometime they do weird things like that. now if i could only figure out why my 95 tsi won't idle...

The guy told me that if he put an injector cleaner in the tank the car will run just fine for a week, but then it would do the same thing again. He has had it on a diagnostic computer and all of his sensors checked out OK.

i just have to stick up for my talon and say they are not really mopar related, but actually more mitsu. engine wise anyway.

My 3.0 Shadow has a Mitsubishi, but is still a mopar. The Talon is just a rebadged Mitsu Eclipse though.

thus my point of the talon not really being of mopar origins.

sounds like leaky injectors. I had that problem with my rx7. I had to pull the fuel injector fuse and fire the engine to burn off the unspent fuel that had leaked. the car will fire for a few seconds and then die. then replace f.i. fuse and crank the engine. should fire right up.

X1-srt, It might be your idle control sensor. I had the same prob with my eclipse.

yeah, i had thought the same. i tested out the connector in the isc motor, and they were within the spec. but it could be a possibility. for the time being i have cracked the throttle plate open a little bit more with the adjustment screw. not a very good long term fix, but at least it stays running.
where and how much did you replace the sensor for?

Don't know how much they cost. Had a connection. but I did it myself. Give a call to mach V Motorsports in Virginia. They handle all DSM's.
