So just installed new spark plugs after not driving the eclipse for 2 months, they ARE the right kind. I go to start it up, idles for about 6 seconds and then shuts off. Every time i try to start it the same thing happens, idle for 5-6 seconds, then dies. I have checked for vacuum leaks, boost leaks, etc. The only thing I can think of is that maybe I gaped them wrong. The manual say between .048 and .053 for N/T and like .028-.031 for turbo. My car is a non-turbo WITH turbo ( 420a turbo ) I gaped them at .050.


Any ideas???????
