420A 97 Eclipse RS problems

[Jwhurt]

So I have a ton of questions. First when I press my brakes hard occasionally my car tries to cut off. Here's the thing I change the mass air flow sensor and the tps. Changed plugs. It used to cut off completely, but when I heard some old trick about the gas cap I changed that and it worked for like 2 days. So I'm at a loss. When it starts running as we'll I feel like I loose a lot of power. It just doesn't drive like it does when I first crank it in the morning.

Also I lowered my car about 3 1/2 inches off the ground ATM. I'm looking at camber kits, but is it hard to put on or should I get a professional to do because it has to deal with alignment.

My left blinker went out and I tried to replace with bulb did not work, are shorts common in these wires?

Also my airbags deployed and I bought the whole set to fix I think.
Driver and passenger airbag
Driver airbag module ( circle disk )
Passenger airbag module
Is there anything else I need. I know I need to unplug the battery and die the electric current. I need to know if there is any part I'm missing.

Sincerely,
Trying to learn

If you have an RS you don't have a MAS/MAF; You have a MAP sensor.

When you changed your plugs how did they look? Were they fouled, etc...?
Does the issue only occur during hard braking?

As for your signal, I don't think shorts are all that common there, unless a previous owner was fiddling with the lighting system / wiring. What's far more common is for the signal switch to go toes up. (I've had a few of those happen.) But the easiest way to check for power would be to probe the wiring with a multimeter.

I did mean map sensor, sorry.

Honestly they had white look to it. But other than that some had oil marks on the plug in the middle. Didn't know to check to be honest.

Yes in hard breaking an in reverse when I brake. It used to give me a code saying the tps was messing up which is why I purchased the tps and replaced it.

The reason I think short is because I was driving down the road and my subwoofers would knock it in and out. Now the light is completely out in the back.

You need to check your break booster and vacuum line going to the intake. The blinkers are just a fuse, one under the dash and one under the hood.

 

[Jwhurt]

Where is the brake booster and so your saying the fuse knocked out one blinker? Not both?

Where is the brake booster?

It's the big round black thing located in front of the driver on the firewall that has the reservoir and master cylinder attached to it.

Do I need to grab a tool to check this?
