    420A 420a RPM at 0 and wont start

    I honestly am not sure at the moment. I believe the engine was either 95 or 99 and my eclipse is a 98

    420A 420a RPM at 0 and wont start

    So I got a 420a from an Eagle Talon after the 420a in my Eclipse had an untimely demise and needed to be switched out. Everything is connected and back in, I switched out the cam position sensor and crank position sensor but the RPM on the OBD2 tool I have is still reading absolute zero and not...

    Looking for good mechanic in NJ

    My eclipses engine blew and the mechanic it was at switched the motor out with the motor I had got for it and then he couldn't get it to stay running without stalling. This is what I'm told. And the back brakes need to be switched to disc, all the parts should be with the car but if need be I am...

    2G Talon 420a in Eclipse RS/GS

    My eclipse has been out of commission for a year or so now and I ended up getting a 420a from an eagle talon. I ended up giving the car and the engine to my mechanic to fix because I've never swapped a motor and didn't have the time. It's been in the shop for 5 months now and I'm getting a...

    420A A/T donor to manual car

    For some backstory, my 420a is dead atm and I'm looking to get a new one. I have one in sight but my car is manual and the donor is automatic. Is there anything I would need to swap or is it plug and play?

    420A Drum Brake To Disc Brakes

    Ohhh. Ok. That clears things up quite a bit actually. I hate to keep asking questions but any ideas where I could source those lol? And I'm guessing the calipers will also mount to that backing plate? So the backing plate is pretty much the key

    420A Drum Brake To Disc Brakes

    I actually saw those pictures. It was just sorta confusing. Like which backing plates are those? How do I get them? And it almost seems like he keeps the drum shoes in there. I also think I don't have a part of my caliper. Like the spring thing on the back. I don't have that. Don't even know...

    420A Drum Brake To Disc Brakes

Since this is my first time experiencing anything like this, i dont really have an idea of what to do. i have taken out the dust shield and entire drum on one side but im not sure where to go from here. Im pretty sure i...

    420A Car is not starting and i need help.

    I am gonna check for codes this weekend and will get back to you with those. I cannot get a video of what it is like now but I do have a video of what is sounded like before it killed itself. There also is no metal shavings in the oil

    420A Car is not starting and i need help.

    My eclipse has a 420a and has around 140,000 miles. Not too long ago I started hearing a rattling sound that sound like a bad lifter so I was like ok. Let me just check them out when I have time cuz I've heard of people driving on those for years. Anyway, this turned worse. I was going out one...

    420A Rattling noise in first through fourth

    Hey. The noise is still happening but I did notice that my oil was extremely low which is a whole other animal that I need to take care of. Anyway I filled it up with oil for now and tried to let it run for a bit to let the oil go through the system properly than I checked while stationary to...

    420A Rattling noise in first through fourth

    So this noise just developed today and I thoughti might come here for some answers. My car just started making a constant clicking/rattling noise. It makes the most noise in first and gets less aggressive the higher gear I go up. It happens the worst when accelerating but only holding the pedal...

    2G Tail light mod

    I was wondering if anyone has ever modified their tail lights to look kinda like an Aston Martin dbs on here and would be willing to explain how they did such a task. I'll post the picture below of what I mean exactly. Also with the Eclipse lettering being the only thing that is lit up in the...
