ive bought a 1992 eclipse 2wd non turbo from a kid who said he bought it with a blown head gasket and he allegedly replaced it. He also said he had replaced some other items including the exhaust manifold, and timing belt,but he never did get the car to run
My buddy and i looked at the car and found that there was no o2 sensor and we got one which wouldnt go into the aftermarket manifold as the thing wasnt machined right to fit in, so we got a junkyard header system and put that on and screwed in the o2 sensor still doesnt work right we replaced the plugs and wires as well as the air filter
we then had the MAF sensors cecked and that was ok
towed the car to a legit shop and they found the car was out of timing and reset the timing belt
they said there were spacers missing in the EFI and they replaced them
They then replaced the computer on the car with another one and confirmed the MAF sensor is ok and confirmed both computers are ok they put the old computer back in the car
the car still dumps too much gas and it turns the plugs black with soot within minutes.
Anyone wanna come look at it? ill gladly pay someone to fix it as this car is someday going to be my daughters if she gets her license, and already shes fallen in love with the car
