alright i was driving my 97 n/t auto eclipse the other day and out of the blue she died. i wasn't driving fast completely normal driving. it now turns over but won't fire.(side note how can i test to see if it is firing) this has happened before on two occasions that i can remember but both times she started right back up and now two days later she sits idle. any help would be great instructions, manuals, how-to's :dsm: please bring my eclipse back to life
 
You have either one of two problems, or two of two problems. :)
1: No spark
2: No fuel.

More likely it's #2. Crack your fuel line open on your fuel rail, place a catch can beneath it to catch fuel and get someone to crank your car over for you. If no fuel comes out, then your fuel pump went bad. If it's good then test for spark.

Pull your number one spark plug wire (Far right when looking from front of car) and ground it. Crank the car over. If no spark, bad coil pack.
 
ya that problem could arise from many a thing. Fuel pump is a good answer as is the coil pack. You should probably do what he suggested and test it for spark. I highly doubt that you ran out of gas- considering that you had this happen twice before. good luck man.
