Just got my GST!! But need some help!! :(

Hey guys,

Yesterday I got my 98 Eclipse GST with only 130k miles. Engine is complete stock, except for a straight back exhaust. Has lowering springs and sits real low. Pretty pumped, got it in Denver, and drove it all the way home to Pueblo (2 hours) and drove completely fine.

Today, I got a new battery for it (it needed one badly) and it started right up, going down the street, I get to about 3700-4000 rpm, push the clutch in to shift, and then car stalls out completely. All the lights come on in the dash and I basically have to mimic a jump start to get it going again. Its very weird because this didnt happen to me at all in the 2 days I looked and test drove it from the previous owner and the 2 hour drive back home.

The BOV is stock and is recirculated. Idles perfectly until after boost basically.

Could it be the stock BOV getting stuck open? The MAF?

I have searched but cant get an exact posting of what my car is doing.

Way ahead of ya .

Yes the bov is recirculated to the intake pipe.

sounds like someone tried to bypass the clutch safety switch and in their haste didn't do it correctly. Either that or the clutch wasn't installed properly

Is the bov fluttering or loosing boost? You said she was good untill about boost.

I have read that when the clutch safety switch, cruise doesnt work... Hmmm makes sense, cruise wasnt working last night on the way home.

The car is fine runs, until after boost, i push in the clutch and it dies right away. At least I dont feel it losing boost or the bov fluttering.


Just doesnt make sense how it was all running right yesterday and the day before then today it stalls out...

Now I try to start it up and the idle is out of wack, like is ok at 900, then kinda revs up to around 1200 then down to 700 then after 5 min or so, it goes stable at 900 or so.
