  1. Had to give gas to start

    A little background - I posted the other day about hesitation I had on the highway here it is:Yesterday as I was getting on the highway, not hard or anything at all, 3rd gear maybe 2500 rpm or so and the car just seemed to not want to accelerate, so I gave it more gas and it seemed like it...
  2. Hesitation issue under light acceleration

    Thanks for the response.My car is pretty much just for work and back now and I almost never get on it. So im not really worried about the .002 differance in gap.Checked the plugs yesterday and 3 were gapped at .030 but #2 was .050! unknown how that happened cause I changed them less...
  3. Hesitation issue under light acceleration

    I found a lot of topic's while searching about this, but not any quite like mine.Yesterday as I was getting on the highway, not hard or anything at all, 3rd gear maybe 2500 rpm or so and the car just seemed to not want to accelerate, so I gave it more gas and it seemed like it wanted to slow...
  4. Water leak problem

    I've had my eclipse now for about 3 months, but this past week was the first time I had to drive the car in the rain (I always just drove my Talon, but I sold it a few weeks back).Anyways, when I got off work, I noticed that I was getting a small leak (a little water on the inside of the...
  5. Strange rear blinker problem

    Well, I am pretty sure that I fixed the problem... It was the black ground wire in the harness not making a very good connection.I though I had it soldered to the ground, but I guess it didn't catch very well (not much space at all inside the bulb harness).I tried to clean off the...
  6. Anyone with B&M short shifter pictures?

    I am seriously thinking about getting a B&M short shiter kit for my 98 GST.Anyone have some before and after pictures on how much lower the shifter sits? I know it reduces the throw from 35-50% but how much lower is the height?Its not worth the price if it doesn't lower it much....I...
  7. Strange rear blinker problem

    Yeah, thanks for your help Doug.
  8. Strange rear blinker problem

    For the past few months I've noticed after about 10 minutes or so of driving - the right blinker will start to blink rapidly when I turn it on.I've checked the past week or so, when I first start my car and I turn the right blinker on, it blinks at the normal rate. it's just after a certian...
  9. Hard to get into gears - shifts easy with engine off

    I have a little over 78k on the carYou know when I raised the clutch pedal, it didn't feel spongy like it did before at all :confused:Yesterday when I got home I lowered the pedal a little bit from where I had it. And it seemed to sort of get that spongy feeling back (although not as...
  10. Hard to get into gears - shifts easy with engine off

    Yeah, I never did check on how high the clutch pedal is off the floor (I've read it should be 7" from the floor)I read this from TRE;http://www.teamrip.com/clutch%20adjustment.htmlThey say it should start to engauge around 3" off the floor. I am guessing that its possibly engauging a...
  11. Hard to get into gears - shifts easy with engine off

    Thanks for the reply DSM90AWD -I adjusted the cruise control adjuster all the way out (doing this didn't raise the clutch pedal at all). Then I turned the adjuster rod (raising the pedal) until it completely closed the switch (little black plastic push in plunger piece) on the cruise...
  12. Hard to get into gears - shifts easy with engine off

    I am almost having to jam it into gears when the engine is on, but when the car is off, it shifts like butter.'98 GST - only mods really are the clutch restrictor removed and a B&M short shifter. 78k - tranny fluid replaced about 20k ago. Stock clutch.I know it's time to replace the...
  13. Alternator bad?

    Well, it ended up being a bad ISC motor(they called it the air idle control motor). Thats all the dealer could find wrong with the car.They quoted me at $275 for the part! :eek:I've heard that you can sometimes just clean these out - anyone had experance with this?The dealer also...
  14. Alternator bad?

    I drove it home on the highway - about 13 miles of it were highway, but once I got in the city, it kept wanting to die on me. I'll look into the pwr transistor and I'll try new plugs, but I just changed them not 10k ago.Yeah, it was around 700 rpm is what it would drop to. Like I said...
  15. Alternator bad?

    This morning it started right up, volts at around 14.15. I let it idle for a little while and it all seemed okay. I even took the negative battery cable off and it ran fine, I even truned on all the lights, etc - still okay, as I started to back out of the garage I hit the brakes and the rpm...
