1G Car dies after start and sometimes doesn't catch up when engine braking

[Gustav093]

I bought my first car back in July this year, it's a 1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS and it has randomly started to get worse.

My first problem is that sometimes it starts for a few seconds before it dies (sorry for the wind!) If I try to start the car it just keeps dying and if I wait about 10 - 20 minutes it drives fine.

).

If I try to accelerate while this is going on the drive belt will start squealing. The clicking in the video sounds like its coming from here (img2), the throttle cable goes from this box.

My second problem is that sometimes when I'm engine braking and push in the clutch to change gears it dies as if it isn't catching up at idle rpm. I don't think that its me who is making the engine go into too low rpms making the engine die.

The last mechanic that worked on the car did something so that the gasket pokes out (img1) but I don't think that is the problem. He also forgot to but back a bolt that was on the cam gear cover.

The exhaust manifold has two screws missing (img1) and sadly the have both been snapped in half and are stuck in the block, it might be leaking exhaust gases from there.

The car is a 1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS 1g and doesn't have a OBD port so i cant read the faulty engine codes.

I have checked the resistance in 3 of 4 of the injectors, the first time I checked the two in cylinder 2 and 3 and they read 14,6 then for some reason I only checked the two in cylinder 1 and 2 and they read both read 15 (the fourth one is hard to reach and I don't want to remove the fuel rail).
I still think that the problem is something with the fuel.

Good job taking those pics @Gustav093 !

IC 104 is not even there! I wonder why that is? The holes have solder in them but no chip there.
But IC 105 and 107 are there and I don't see any obvious damage on them.

SMD capacitors

Those are Surface Mount capacitors? So those would be the little rectangular ones that are laying right down on the board?

Would the best way to fix this to sent it to DSMLink?

It's how I would do it. The capacitors in my 1990 have been replaced twice already. Once in 2004 by a local guy who knew what he was doing, and the second time in 2015 by ECMtuning.

Non-turbo ECU's don't have as many driver IC as turbo ECUs do.
The little rectangular ones with a "C" in their part# are capacitors like C44, C14 and C19 that are starting to get corroded on his ECU. The little black ones with an "R" are resistors.
