How’s it going, I have a 98 Eclipse GST 5 speed and it was running fine till I went to drive home a few hours later. It had a rough idle and low idle and when giving it more throttle made it choppy as well. Putting it into neutral, the RPM’s would drop all the way down and the motor would die...
Long story short I blew my cooling loop while parking after driving a mountain road. I just want to say in advance I am new to cars, but I work as a machinist so I would say I'm quite competent with using tools. I'm not sure where I should be looking, the steam came from the right side of the...
About 2 days ago I’ve noticed that the passengers side of the car will begin to rattle, the sound stops completely after 1.5k rpms, any ideas as to what it could be ? Car is an auto if that matters.Here’s video
Hi, I’ve never done power steering before and not too familiar on how it works. It decided to go out on me and lose all of its fluids. I’m not entirely sure on how to diagnose it either.I’m not sure where the leak is but I think it might from inside the inner tie rod boot. Or this big nut. Any...
Hi, broke my ECT connector and need the car running asap. I was thinking that I could stop by the local junkyard but the only engines they have there are the 420a. Not sure if the ECT connector is the same.If any wiseman of the 420A could help a fellow DSM friend out.
Hi does anyone know how to remove ECT sensor pins, one of my pin wires got snagged and ripped off. :(I’m trying to just reattach new wire to it and just connect it.
Hi, I have had these problems for some time now, the engine is rectified, it is a 420a from 1995
The revolutions are always around 2000 revolutions without me stepping on the accelerator or anything, and in my head it makes the sound of the hydraulic lifters but they are new, I have tried...
So I recently bought a '95 eclipse gst, but after a few days of owning it the clutch pedal stuck to the floor. I got it towed to a shop because I was really far from home and they replaced the master and slave cylinders. Apparently the bolts were stripped and fell out, causing it to fail...
Hi, I'm fairly new here so I hope this isn't inappropriate or too long, but I'm about to order a bunch of parts for my '92 Talon TSi AWD manual (build date May 1992), with around 79k miles on it (yes you read that right), and wanted to make sure they're right for the job. If anyone cares to...
Hey guys. Just joined the forum! This is my 1999 Eclipse GSX w/ black leather interior and all the options... The hardest and most sought after version (except it being an auto, lol). My dream car. :)Over the years the weather and salt seems to have taken a toll on my previously showroom...
So I recently rebuilt my throttle body and it will still leaking after putting it back on the car. Well today I removed the throttle body and used a dremel with a soft wire brush to clean and even out both sides of the throttle body, intake manifold, and throttle body elbow. I also placed...

I have a 2003 Mazdaspeed Protege with a turbo. It has a HKS Blowoff-Valve and Tial Wastegate with a boost controller. For the boost gauge I tapped into the FPR line. When I’m driving and I press in the clutch to shift or put it in neutral the revs will drop to 0. This issue only happens when the...

hey guys, I'm working on my 2g and when I tried to pressurize the cylinder so I could compress the spring, the crank spun. I don't know which direction it spun and I don't know if that means I now have to do timing. I unbolted the cam gears from the cams and had the belt still on it. I didn't...
