420A Questions regarding clutch and power steering pump replacement

[Lacross]

Hi all, i'm new to the forum here, ive come in hopes of some solid answers as googling doesnt do a good job for this car.

My car is a 98 eclipse with the 420a

Problem A: it needs a new clutch, i know these take a modular clutch, but whats a good oem replacement?

Problem B: Im not sure if i need a new power steering pump or to just remove the pulley and put it back on. The power steering pulley is shaking and knicking a nut near it creating an annoying "chirping" sound.

Is there a video anywhere on how to replace a power steering pump on an Eclipse?

Also, i guess ill put this all in one thread. I have a rough idle, sometimes my engine will almost shut off and then it will shoot up to 2k rpm, normally it surges between 600-1500 and its quite annoying.

Also my OBDII connector doesnt work

Thanks in advance,
LaCross

I would just go to auto zone or orileys for the clutch, maybe northern auto parts online too. As far as the idle, how bad is it really? Power Steering Pump Removal - DSM Forums: Mitsubishi Eclipse, Plymouth Laser, and Eagle Talon Forum: DSMtalk.com maybe that will help with your power steering pump removal

Its pretty bad, surging between 500ish-1500 is pretty abnoxious, and then the car will almost shut off sometimes

Here's a good thread of things to check towards fixing your idle surge. Some of it only apply's to a turbo model. If your idle is always surging from start up to even past when its warm I would check the ISC first, it is probably the culprit and the most common problem for surging.
