Hello,
I have bought myself a 1990 1g eclipse 1.8 about 3 weeks ago, and am currently having one major problem.
A quick backstory of the car:
The car has not been driven and on the road since 2001 so about 21 years.
It has 91000 miles on the dash.
I am now the 3. owner the previous owner wanted to fix it but has lost all interest in it since he is now around 70 years young.
I got the car as a winter project and am some issues i could use some help with.
The car sometimes starts and sometimes it just overflows the sparkplugs since it is pushing to much fuel in to the cylinders.
When the car starts it is a very rough start, idling about 500-600 rpm and when it is given some gas it rough idles around 1000-1300 rpm.
The car is running very rich seen by the huge black cloud coming from the exhaust system when it is revved up.
All cylinders are working.
The starting problem is only present on a cold start, when the engine is warmed up it starts fast, but the rest is the same.
Things that i have replaced / checked:
- New fuel filter and pump
- New injectors
- New battery
- New MAF
- Cleaned out the old fuel from the tank and the fuel system
- Checked FPR and it is working as intended
- New liquids (Oil, coolant)
- New oil filter
- New belt and timing done on point
And i have ordered some new parts which could be the problem but I am not sure:
- New O2 sensor
- New cam shaft sensor
- New thermostat
- New coolant temp sensors (both for the dash and ECU)
- New oil pressure sensor
- New cables
- New rotor
The car also heats up fast, the ventilator works, the compression is good, no coolant is in the oil so gaskets are good, and the vacuum is working.
I do not have a OBD 1 tested so i cant see the problem and no error light is present when the car is running.
I can get a video of the car starting cold and running if needed.
