runs for like almost a min and then dies

[slow_eclipse]

i drive a 96 eclipse gst..it has a 6 bolt. my problem is that when i start up the car
it runs for like almost a min and then dies.. start it up again and then push the gas pedal a few times..after that it stays running. but when i go to drive it can barely accelerate...goes like 5 mph and then when i shift, the car starts to shake so i just downshift to 1st again.
the other problem is that oil is going into the intercooler and some even coming out of the exhaust!! i recently just changed the turbo since the stock turbo was super bad...so i thought everything was fine after that, so i take it out for a drive and yet the same thing is still happening...im stuck right now!! tomorrow im checking the spark plugs and then taking the valve cover off to see if a lifter or rocker is bad...any ideas???

Yes do a comp. test before you open the engine up, there is allot of things you can check before opening up the engine. Try a known working ecu also. You never know about the ecu, they like to just quit working. Did you check your ignition system, wires,transistors etc?

The oil sounds like Blow by for sure.

thanks man. i'll check the ecu too for sure. and yeah i checked my ignitionn system and
all the wires. they all are good. but im gonna double check everything again just to make sure.

Just go rent a comp. tester from like autozone or something, then do it yourself. Its very easy.

Josh

It should be cheap. You can buy them for like 20$ or something, Im not 100% sure on the price. Just call up your local store and ask. That way you can check the box on compression and move on to other things.

Good luck
