Ok, at work all of a sudden my batery died, so I went into the security office and luckyly they have one of those little batery boosters. The guy tells me to go wait by my car that a security guy will be there soon. So the guy that gets there is this scrawny guy that me and my friends joke around with, I have no idea he has an eclipse and that the same thing that Im about to write here happened to him too. He comes up and asks me "How did the battery die?", I reply I dont know, all of a sudden it lost charge. So he goes to me, "This happened to me too, only in a worst case scenario , On a Street Light , heres the thing from factory you do know our transmissions suck, what they start doing is evaporating the transmission oil over time and as you dont change the transmission oil it starts eating up your battery, Why?, I dont know my friend (a mechanic at a Mitsu Dealer) explained to me but this is all I could get. The thing is that I changed the battery and over time it did it to me again, we went to the mitsu dealer and got a diagnostic check, What did it say, "Transmission Liquid". We change the transmission oil and I put a new battery, from that day forth it hasnt done that **** to me again."
Now, I believe him because it actually makes sense, it obviously isnt no major electrical component, after he gave the battery a boost, the car turned on perfectly. After that it didnt boggle RPM's were normal and most importantly the car didnt turn off (Alternator). Tommorrow Im gonna change the transmission oil and get probably get a new battery. Ill post again tommorrow with results.
