I drive a 95 Eclipse RS 420a N/T Manual
For a few months I've been having an issue where it will not idle intermittently unless I keep my foot on the throttle. It will also do it where it won't quite stall but it will get really low RPMs and shutter and then kinda kick back up and do that for a while.
2 Weeks ago it wouldn't start for me after having this issue so I had it towed. Shop re-did wiring to fuel pump and replaced the connector and also put in a new relay. Seemed to be working fine. (Shitty shop IMO....)
Now it's been doing the same thing again. The only similarity I've seen is it seems to happen when my tank reads below or around 1/4 full. To test this out tonight it was happening again so I topped it off with 9.5 gallons and drove it home. By the time I got back (around a mile) it seemed to be doing better. I'm going to go for a quick test drive again in a little bit.
I also have new spark plugs within 5k miles.
At this point I am thinking fuel pump since I always hear it trying to start, it just never catches. It is also rough to start cold, I usually have to hit the throttle or it kinda shutters before getting up to a normal idle.
Any other thoughts for I drop cash on a pump.....?
