Hey guys,
I'm a proud owner of a 1995 n/a eclipse, from hungary.
First of all sorry for my bad english, but I realy need your help. I bought my car 3years ago and i had a lot of problem, what i solved, but now i have got no idea.
In the last 3years i had to change fuel filter, coil pack, sparkplugs, steering rack, o2 (twice). My problem is that sometimes my car goes nice and smooth
but the check engine is on and i got a code that got pressure problem with the steering pump but i cant recognize any problem,
after that my car stop randomly and if it is in movement it starts again instantly (because its in gear) or if i stand its just stop,
and my check engine gone off but my idle is very bad (goes up and down) and if i try to accelerate its erratic (feels like got no spark or something). The check engine come back randomly and the cars is okay again.
I dont know what is the problem but its realy annoying. Maybe its sometinhg with the ecu or a sensor?:cry:
 
It's hard to say without knowing what codes are triggering the CEL. Maybe the TPS. We really need more information to provide any useful help.

CEL is triggering P1650 Power Steering Pressure Switch Malfunction, but the steering is ok. As I said the interesting part is that if the CEL is on the car is okay but if the CEL gone off the car start doing this weird things (idle and accelerate problems)
 
European 2gnt's have NA 4g63 motors, whereas USDM 2gnt's have 420a engines. You'd have better luck asking this in the Newbie Forum.

I know, I have USDM 2gnt with 420A thats why i asked this here..
 
There's a small, single wire, female plug that goes on a "post" sensor on your power steering pump. Check to be sure that it is plugged in.

checked thats okay. by the way the main problems are the idling and the hesitating on accelerate:/
 
Check your TPS as paul said. Also check your IAC sensor and make sure its okay. I had an idle problem and I took mine out and cleeaned it and it seemed to calm down
