Okay, I recently bought a 1G Eclipse 1.8L for pocket cash ($80) from a friend of my family. The car was suppose to run great and go really well for a 1.8L, it has 153,xxx miles and was well taken care of, but it sat for a year before I bought it. The clutch is weak and I need to replace it, but I want the thing to start first before I spend $$$ on a new clutch. So here's the deal, I changed the oil, plugs, and plug wires the day I bought it. I'm running Valvoline Synpower 10w-30. We put a brand new Interstate battery in it and it won't even turn over. When you hook up the battery, I can hear a wierd noise, I think it's just the computer resetting or something. All the interior and dash lights work, the radio works, everything electrical is fine as far as I can see. But it won't start. So I take out the starter and it checks out fine. It still won't turn over. What the hell is wrong with my Eclipse?
