3800 need help! DSM Talon question

[preussenGTP]

My girlie-girl has a '94-'95 Eagle Talon with some type of engine light on that i have no clue what it is.
Bob, anyone?
she calls it the merry-go-round light, but i think it looks more like the entrance of Soldier Field - LoL

wtf is this??

it's intermittent (not always on) and she doesn't have an owners manual for me to

thats the low coolant light Ithats supposed to be a radiator...a vertical flow unit anyways...

maybe a bad wire or intermittent connection...the sensor should be on the side of the radiator...

Thanks, James!
Doesn't really look like a radiatior - LoL
Now i know what i'm doing for Labor day. . .

i could be wrong, but i think there is a different low coolant light than that...is it a 94 or a 95...95 starts a new body style i think....

check dsmtuners.com as well...

oooooh noooooooo!
i'll have to check the vin # to confirm what year it really is, but i'd guess it's the '94 - it looks exactly like this one:

 

[phat_ridegt]

yeah thatd be a 94...i could be wrong...jacob (gtppwr) might know he has had a few dsm's....a friend of mine has one ive been helping him work on as well...and i know there is a different low coolant lite on his...but he has a 2g not a 1g

 

[Toasty]

I'm checkin on this for ya as well, brother in law builds/mods dsm's

ive never seen my 91 have that light

 

[preussenGTP]

Thanks for all your useful input

It ended up being about 2 quarts low on coolant - we're talking about a 2.0L engine and that's ALOT to be down for such a small displacement engine.


women drivers! hahaha

Oh hell no you didn't haha sad thing is I tend to agree most women have issues when it comes to cars either driving them (while talking on a cell phone or doing make-up) and/or taking care of them...( I had a girl at school ask me what an oil change was I was like good god women..)

After a few passes they are :lolsign:

that is the ultimate turd of a bottom end, regardless if it makes power. Not much use in a powerful engine when the cranks walk out of the block within a few high-powered passes.

Yes, some are fast, but anyone who has owned one, or had a close friend who has had one knows they are the ultimate in unreliability.

boy my 6-bolt has never walked anywhere. be sure you know what engine you are talking about. my GFs brother had two that lasted nearly 200k on a 6bolt beating on it daily.
