:cry:Im having this issue for 6months now. Im really having a hard time starting my car. It takes me 15-20 tries before it starts. Sometimes my car doesnt start at all. When my car starts, rough idle then it will run good, after sitting the car, especially overnight it goes back to its problem. Recently had a tune up, fuel filter changed, fuel rail and injectors cleaned, gas tank opened & cleaned, new spark plugs. I saw a black, burn like dicoloration on the middle of my ecu. I dont know if it has something to do with my problem. Hope you guys can help me.


I think my transmission is also not working good. Everytime i floor the gas it doesnt have the kick that it used to have when i first got it.


Car is 1G Eclipse GS 2.0 A/T

help anyone? please.. Im from the philippines anyway.. Thanks DSM Tuners family..:hellyeah:
 
Yep, ECU needs replacing, for burn spots are not good to have in these things.

Mine was doing the same, but after replacing the ECU, cured that problem real quick.

ECU's are lucky to last 20 years without failing out somehow.
