My stock turbo muffler needs replacement (1999 Eclipse GST 2.0L FWD turbo) but it is no longer available. I have checked all local auto stores and every Mitsubishi dealer in the country but there are no turbo ones (just NT). I'm not interested in any loud aftermarket cat back system (want quiet)...

It's a common problem with the DSM and I just fixed a friends and mine. Here is a pic of the passenger door lock actuator mechanism.The bigger rod on the right is attached to the outside door handle (other rod is the key lock rod). Assuming nothing else is wrong, this rod bends slightly after...

In my 99 factory Mitsubishi service manual it shows a "lower arm cover" (for vehicles with aero parts) on the rear lower arm assembly (item 1 in attached pic). My 99GST does not have this nor is it listed in the Mitsu ASA parts db (nor have I ever heard of it). Since my 99GST has factory aero...

[Note: Some of this gets very detailed, but don't worry about all the heavy detail stuff you don't understand if you don't want to (like accuracy, or what resistance you're measuring across compared to the meter's, or what the meter's loading is). Just understand the simple basics of how you...

4th has lately liked to pop out right after I shift into it unless I hold it in for a second, then after that its fine until the next shift into 4th. Or if I slam it into 4th from 3rd really hard then its fine until the next shift into 4th. When stopped I have to let up the clutch very slowly...

Tired of always having to turn the ignition key on to operate your power windows?Replacing the power window relay with a 14 gauge jumper will allow this and you don't even need the key in the ignition. The circuit will still be protected by the 30A power window fuse. The relay is up under the...

Oxygen Sensor Wiring:For 1g: (From DSM Backup manual for 91 DOHC turbo) Looking from the wire side, the harness round connector has pin 1 in upper left, 2 upper right, 3 lower left, 4 lower right. This would also be the way it looks on the sensor round connector if looking at the connector...

Have '99 GST (FWD Turbo). Six weeks ago I had my transaxel completely rebuilt. About 3 weeks ago I started noticing a very slight vibration in the steering wheel and very slight rubbing noise only when I turn the steering wheel slightly left at over 50 mph. The noise sounds and feels like a...

How to test the power transistors (aka. ignition module or ignitor):This test will check the power transistors for go/no go operation. If it fails your transistor(s) are bad. Note that the power transistors may still be weak, intermittent, or fail with temperature which this test does not...

I know the original one used to be available on DarkLightning.com and it is now salvaged here: http://www.dsmtuners.com/model-guide/1g2gcomparison.php. But I remember seeing one that also had (row) entries for Cam Angle Sensor and Crank Angle Sensor (and it was in color). Does anyone have that...

How to read 2g ABS diagnostic trouble codes using the ABS warning light (these codes are different than the check engine ECU trouble codes). Note: This reading of 2g ABS trouble codes using the ABS warning light (by grounding pin 1) doesn't work for the earlier Nippondenso ABS ECU, but it does...

Start with the main battery cables. If you have a voltmeter you can measure the voltage drop from one end of a cable to it’s other end with everything turned on (first with engine off then running). There should be none (or less than 0.1 volt). If you suspect one of the cables you can jumper...

You cannot tell a fuse is ok by just looking at it! It may look fine but actually is blown with a hairline crack (or the fuse wire may be broken near the blade connection) that is not visible. I've lost count of how many hundreds of times people say their fuses are good when all they did was...

TO FIND A SHORT or battery drain, first switch off and disconnect the obvious devices (eg. taillights if blowing taillight fuse) to see if the fuse still blows or the battery current drain disappears. (See below "FOR THE CASE OF AN UNKNOWN BATTERY DRAIN" for more on how to detect a battery...

Just wondering if my 99 GST drivers side engine mount looks torn enough that it should be replaced. Engine runs great with no vibration. 70000mi. See Pics:

I have a completely stock '99 Eclipse GST and want to raise the car 2-5 inches. I sometimes check out performance rally courses (at lower speeds) which are dirt and rocky forest logging roads and am getting tired of denting up my oilpan. I don't want to convert it to a pro rally car since it is...

I found an excellent professional article by Aligncraft that describes wheel alignment for those who need/want another view. I put it here because the other one in this forum is closed to replies.Go to: http://aligncraft.com/terms/terms.html

My 99 GST has saged over the years and now has way too much negative rear camber (and resulting toe out) which has wiped out the inside rear tires. I would like to get the car back to factory height, if that will correct the camber, or even higher (as I sometimes run checkout on pro rallys and...
