I have a 99 Eclipse GS and I am having trouble getting her started after sitting since Dec. I made sure the dry gas was put in and tried some starter spay into the air intake and no go. The only thing I haven't tried is changing the plugs which I am about to do. Is there anything else I should be warned about? I was also told it might be a good idea to put some oil in under the plugs to try and unfreeze the engine. Obviously there is a lot of problems that could arise from sitting out all winter but I have to try. Thank you for any info.
 
I had the same thing.... its the spark pluggs and wires, change those up and it should start up... if not it could be battery or your starter... Good Luck :thumb:
