So I've been looking around, and the only thread I can find is where the OP has a whistle that gets louder at higher RPM. Everyone suggested an exhaust leak, but I have a slightly different problem. I hear a whistle noise coming from what I think is my muffler, but it could be anywhere behind...
This may be an incredibly dumb question, but I'm new with cars, and have never dealt with tie rods or control arms before. Long story short, I have been using my mom's car for work (Chinese food delivery) because my 99 GS needs a left and right outer tie rod, a right side inner tie rod, and a...
Sorry guys, I just can't find this anywhere else on the site.When I got my car, it had an aftermarket body kit on it (Atleast the front end. I think the back is stock and the sides maybe) but underneath there's nothing. It seems so flimsy. Should there be some sort of cover on the bottom...
On my 99 Eclipse I have 17" wheels, and I've heard that larger wheels can affect the speedometer. Is this true? If so, can I recalibrate the speedometer somehow?
I can drive my Eclipse 5 speed well around town, but there are a few points I'm still not clear on. For one, when is the best time to shift? I don't care about fuel economy, just keeping my engine and transmission healthy, and power. I've been told to listen to the engine, and when the noise...
I've searched all through the forums, and found a lot of threads about door speakers, but none as simple as; can I simply pop out the grill to replace the speakers, or do I need to remove the entire door panel? I'm worried about not being able to get the door panel back on once I get it off, so...
I recently got a 99 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS, and have been having constant problems. I've gotten most of them sorted out but one is sometimes it has trouble starting. It will crank but not turn over. I had a mechanic with me for two of the times and he took a flathead screwdriver and somehow...
Hey everyoneI'm trying to put a new headunit in, along with an amp and subs. Nothing special, but currently there is no head unit, and I figured I might as well install an amp while I'm at it. First off; my headunitThe stock harness was not in good shape, in fact it didn't even work. Not...
Hey guys, I know it seems like a stupid question, but I can't seem to find anything definitive on the subject. I have a 99 Eclipse GS, and it has a 420a engine in it but not the 420a from the factory. I'm not sure what year the engine is from, because the previous owner told me it was from an...
Hey guys, I'm sorry I start so many threads, I just have a lot of problems with my new DSM :-\There's a dent on my oil pan, a little smaller than fist sized or so (I only saw it once on a lift, and can't get it on my ramps as it's too low) and it's RIGHT on the bleeder screw. Like, the...
Hey guys, I've searched the site, as well as Google, for over an hour now, and I keep finding wiring diagrams and other slightly more complicated things. What I'm looking for though is if I wanted to simply change the color or my instrument cluster, how would I do so? I didn't want to just start...
I recently got a 99 Eclipse GS, and being 17 (And kind of a ricer) I initially started looking at things lime Lambo doors and the like. Well, I've decided not to waste hundreds of dollars on a pair of hinges, and want to actually do something useful. I haven't gotten to drive it much because...
Hi guys, I'm looking to replace my shifter. I knew I had a short shifter in my car, but it's not real a short shift kit. Basically what the previous owner did was take a hacksaw to the shift rod, and then hot glued the shift knob back on top. I'm sure you all can see the problem here..... What...
So yesterday I found that my clutch wasn't doing anything, and then found that I had no clutch fluid. I added fluid and it was working, but I had to pump the clutch before shifting (Atleast into first) to get it to have enough pressure for some reason. Today I was trying to take off from a hill...
I need to replace the ECU in my 1999 Eclipse GS, and was am confused about a few things. One, an ECU is the same as an ECM, right? Also, the only standard ECU I can find is for a '96 Eclipse/Talon/Avenger standard; will this fit into my 99 Eclipse? Below is the link to the part I am looking into...
Hey guys, I recently got my first DSM (A 99 Eclipse GS) and want to set up a sound system in it. I just got a Kenwood KDC-MP145 head unit and am going to install two 12" subs and an amp (A combo package from XXX, and I will link both products at the end) and have a few questions. First off, let...
Hey guys, I'm new here, and don't currently own a DSM car. I am however looking very seriously into a 1999 Eclipse GS. I'm fairly new to cars in general, but am trying to learn. I've heard that the Eclipse GS has a problem with crankwalk, but the current owner swapped the engine out (What kind...
