I have a 98 Eclipse RS that I had recently just bought and done a timing kit on. Runs n drives great. No check engine light or such.

When driving though, it tends to drop idle/stall more often when it has a load, lights, radio, etc. I've tried to research and find things but it's all mainly for the 4g's and "universal" terms.
 
Alternator tests fine. Did a tune up and fuel cleaner. Plug three was drier than the Sahara though. Starting to think it's an injector now. But it is only when it warms up, runs fine cold
 
It probably runs fine while cold because it runs richer. Once it warms up and closed loop that cylinder gets starved of fuel. RockAuto had some fuel injectors for $20 a few years back so I'd probably check and replace that injector and see what happens. But that's assuming there is no place near you to clean and flow test your OEM injectors.
