Took my eclipse to the shop to have them throw a timing belt on since its to cold for me to be outside doing it (Iowa winters are killer). They ran a diagnostic test and their computers came back that they couldnt read any codes. Since my car sounds like a lawnmower when it runs and has no power above 35mph they decided to dig a little bit and they said my spark is pretty far off and their tests arent coming back right. They came up with that my ECU is shot. How this would happen, i am unsure as the car was driving fine until the alternator went out. I had a different shop change the alternator just to find out that the fuseable link under the hood blew out as well. After the shop gave me back my car with a bad fuseable link it sounded like a lawnmower and had no power from then on. I changed the link, battery light went away so I dont know if the link blowing could of sparked off into the ECU but does this diagnosis sound right? I would think with the way the car sounded and the lack of power above 35-40 it would of been the timing.
