Well I bought the 95 eclipse gst for $1500, I figured I would start a threat so you guys can follow along with my progress and give me some feedback on issues I may be stuck on. Before I bought it, she told me that it wouldn't shut off. I was thinking that the car literally wouldn't turn off, well that is not the case, the car shuts off just fine, but they said something about the electronics not shutting off?
Well, I put the battery charger on yesterday on 2 amp charge and left it charge for a bit, took it off, started the car 5 times in a row without issue, left the car sit overnight and it started just fine this morning. I don't think there is an issue with the electronics not shutting off, I think the alternator is just bad.
I got it up on jackstands last night, pulled front tires, calipers and rotors off, they were completely trashed. I already have a new set of front and back slotted&drilled rotors plus pads on order.
The timing belt upon further inspection actually looks fairly new and in good condition. The power steering pump is going bad, the downpipe for the exhaust has a hole rusted through it, the right quarter panel has rust by the wheel. The transmission and clutch feel strong. The car is putting out a lot of black smoke when revving, possibly burning oil? I'll add some pictures then!
