Hopefully the video attached right but my 95 Eclipse RS is finally to the running stage but it isn't running right.Video pretty much sums it up, it'll start right up but can't hold an idle until it's warm then still runs rough. I didn't use any gas pedal in the video, but I can rev it up...

I came across a post on DSM nation on Facebook claiming 2012-2020 Tesla model S front calipers are the same as the 2004-2007 CTSV ones. Does anybody know if this is true?

Howdy y'all, so I've been running into this issue as of late, where my car will no longer crank. For context, I've been working on getting my 1g started for the first time. It was cranking prior, but I got no spark. So I started the diagnosis process, and I ended up with something on the PTU...

I recently purchased a 1993 N/T 2.0 Talon over the summer. It appears to have a 6 bolt swap (non turbo) and a KF5M332SPZS trans. I’ve just recently replaced the clutch. I pulled the motor and trans and put it back in and it’s started up fine but had a high idle of around 2200 rpm after it was...

Hello everyone, I need help following the installation of D2 street coilovers.The first ride was incredible in terms of handling, almost no more bodyroll, the body was completely stable and on rails when cornering. After doing a second ride of just under 100 miles, I noticed that I started to...

Hello, so I’ve had my Eclipse for almost a year now and I’ve had this problem where I guess at low rpm’s, the car struggles. For example, once the car is running, it’s fine but when I come to a stop at a light or stop sign, the rpm will drop down to around 500 and start bouncing under 1000 and...

So, I pulled the car out of storage after many years, set up ECM link, and decided that even though the timing belt had been replaced less than 10k miles ago, it had been ten years and was advised to replace it. I have everything off and installed the new water pump, reinstalled the radiator and...

When I was braking and coming to a stop I heard a "bump" sound and I think I lost this part. I have no clue what it is or if it is even part of my car. The car accelerates, turns and brakes normally. All help is very much appreciatedYou must be registered to see element.You must be...

Hey guys as the title says, my front tires have too much negative camber. It’s wearing on the inside pretty bad. With no camber adjustment from factory, how do I fix this?

Hello everyone,I’m new to the DSM culture and would like an opinion on this subject. I bought a 1999 Eclipse GS from a mechanic shop and put a new battery and spark plugs in so far. Will be doing an oil change and will drain the gas tank and put new gas in it. I attempted to start it (I know I...

How’s it going, I have a 98 Eclipse GST 5 speed and it was running fine till I went to drive home a few hours later. It had a rough idle and low idle and when giving it more throttle made it choppy as well. Putting it into neutral, the RPM’s would drop all the way down and the motor would die...

Long story short I blew my cooling loop while parking after driving a mountain road. I just want to say in advance I am new to cars, but I work as a machinist so I would say I'm quite competent with using tools. I'm not sure where I should be looking, the steam came from the right side of the...

I have a 95 GSX and have been working to get it running.I had to drop the tank and realized the exhaust is going to need a new flex pipe and the muffler is welded to the car, not on a hanger. I’d like to fix the muffler hanger and mount it correctly, and I think I’m going to put 2 v clamps on...

Here we go.I've had this car for about 8 months now. Always had an oil leak near the timing side of the motor. Timing belt drenched in oil, entire driver side covered, and I mean everything.After taking it out after being garaged for almost 6 months, it ran fine to work but broke down omw...

Hi everyone,I'm new around here haha, but I come to ask for help on my 1995 Eagle Talon TSi. I was driving it a couple days ago, and it randomly started misfiring, didn't give me power and was like hesitating/buffering while I was driving around 15mph. The tach needle dropped to a little...

So today my eagle Talon Tsi 1997 decided to give me its final hail Mary and luckily nothing happened to me or my sister who was in the car. The car shut itself off and the steering wheel was hard to turn. It still hasn’t been able to crank over or turn on electrically.You must be registered...

Hello all, I have a 1997 Eclipse GST stock 2.0 Turbo with an auto transmission. 115k miles. Lately it has been missing when you get on the gas or even when just trying to accelerate between 40-60 mph, but runs totally fine at idle or lower speeds.We've recently put in new plugs and wires...

To start off the headliner on my 1996 Eclipse GS is sagging. I know about how to normally fix those but this is different. There is not really an actual headliner. It seems to be some sort of foam just put in place so it looked alright. (I was 16 and stupid when I bought the car) but I’ve been...

I've been having issues with my tranny going out at 2000 rpms it just slips and I have to be on O/D to be able to drive it normally. So I came across a GST for sale that is also FWD like my Talon and I was just wondering if I could just interchange the parts without having to do too much to my...

So I did an oil change not to long ago, and welp it looks like this. It 100% looks worse on camera. But I’m not sure if this is an upcoming death.This was about a month ago and it still keeps me awake at night lol. Since then I have driven the car extremely hard and beat on it pretty well...

Had this 94 eclipse 1.8 for a while and decided to fix the codes it had. Oki replaced the Maf sensor as well as the distributor and set it in time.

On my 1996 eclipse GS (420A) I don’t know if my expansion valve or compressor is bad. When I turn in the AC with a gauge connected to the high and low side of the AC, the high side doesn’t drop pressure and low side doesn’t gain pressure. I’m not sure if this is a symptom of a bad expansion...
