Okay, before anyone tells me to use search, I bought this car in may and have been creeping and researching this forums since then without making an account.
1997 Eclipse GSX
I have a random misfire.
~backstory~
I bought this car from a good buddy of mine and I loved it from the first second. I have so many screenshots of posts from day one of me just absorbing information about this car. Aside from my blown t25 this car was amazing. It came with a 16g which I struggled to find a oil dump tube to make fit not knowing anything about these cars. Thanks for the forums already. Then like the noob I was, instead of having my buddy who had the car before me do the water pump I had a guy take care of it for me. Bam. Cars messed up. Long story but had the head rebuilt at napa auto parts. Got it back and have had problems ever since, I love it Even when it runs like shit I love it. But I have been chasing this random misfire since, pretty much everything under the hood has been changed out around cam angle sensor and crank position sensor. Before I get jumped on (if you guys do that) I've read forum posts religiously and my random misfire is driveable.
I've followed and replaced spark followed air from sensors to checking manifolds. Exhaust side is good, I may hollow out cat unless someone has a test pipe. Sometimes it runs perfect I can always boost, even through the misfire, and sometimes it's f***ed. I've had code p0300 and p0302 which is cyl 2. It goes away. I'm reaching out for help before I find a shop to get raped by.If you are Bay Area and have experience with these cars please let me know. Anyways, I'm
New. If you are Bay Area ca, I'm going to be concord Area. Anyways, any info helps I'll try to post some pics
