k heres ma prolem..i have a 95 eclips rs with 93k miles on it...the car runs fine but itl just die on me while running at random...wats wrong wit it????

hello, i am posting on this thread as i am experiencing similar symptoms to what you describe - however my car is a magna not a eclipse. does anyone know whether (or not) the problem may be transferable between these two models?

i am posting this plea for help in various relevant locations of relevant websites. i sincerely hope that i don't waste anybody's time by having them devote their valuable time to my issue more than once.

three months ago i bought a 1995 mitsubishi magna TS executive wagon (EFI). it goes absolutely fine 99% of the time.the other 1% is rendering it unreliable, as my work requires punctuality. i have so far driven the car about 5,000 kms.

1. car won't start. on turning the key, the motor cranks but it seems as if no fuel is supplied. half an hour or more later, it starts and runs as normal (very nicely, it seems).

2. motor cuts out. while cruising along, the motor suddenly cuts out (no warning noises or feelings - it is as if fuel supply is instantaneously interrupted.) car will not restart (see above). half an hour later, it starts as normal and runs perfectly.

on two occasions i have called the roadside assistance but both times, when the mechanic arrived after 45 minutes, the car then started and the mechanic was therefore unable to diagnose the problem (what problem?). similarly, i took the car to a mechanic who had a look and went as far as to replace a plug leading to the distributor cap, but again, he was unable to diagnose the problem as the car started and ran fine all day while it was in the workshop.

i have looked at some website forums for similar problems, which suggest replacing the fuel pump control relay, or a malfunction of the immobiliser but these advice are not necessarily for my model of car. is there someone out there who knows about these sort of thing and might be able to shed a bit of light on the matter? unfortunately i am not mechanically-minded enough to be tinkering around under the hood, even with the help of the manual i bought (it is an interesting but also baffling book - i'm sure i can learn a lot from it, but it doesn't make me feel confident about taking my car apart!).

cheers everybody!

Hi everyone I'm new I just bought an eclipse 3 months ago I had to change my alternator and buy new belts but my tension screw for the alternator is bad i think cause it keeps coming loose. Anyway one day driving my alternator belt popped so i changed it myself felt real good cause i did my self then as i ride around the block to charge the battery my dash lights started to blink then the hole car went dead and when i checked the fuse box it was my ignition switch fuse. Every time i changed it it would blow agian till now but now the car wont start and the last mechanic to look at it told me my spark was too low(don't know why) just is. I'm a teen and wanted to fix it myself instead of dishing out cash I don't have to a shop soo If anyone can shed some light on whats going on I would appreciate it alot thanx.

Wire short somewhere have fun :57:

ever think that maybe it has bad gas?

I got it fixed already cost me 200 for a wire :( and he didn't even tell me where it was in case it happen again so can fix it myself.

My cousins new 98 talon esi cranks a lot before it start the first time, turn it off and try again and it fires right up. Whats up? It also makes a high pitched noise when it starts. Any ideas on that?

Sometimes, it cranks but doesn't start for a few tries, I take the key out, try again and it works. Other times, it works fine. What could this be?

Holy Crap! Thanx bro! I actually jus bought my car and that is exactly what it is doing! Its got spark, so now I guess I am going to test the fuel rail!

I got a 93 Talon 1.8L wrapped it around a pole the 24th of December started and ran fine before this but since won't start don't hear the fuel pump wondering if there is a kill switch in it or have I simply rattled something loose would kinda like it to start this way I might be able to sell it for parts but if not I have no beefs hauling it to a wrecking yard

I have a 93 eclipse and I've tried all the easy stuff even replacing the distributer but is still has an spark problem. Seems to fire randomly and even double some times but still doesn't start. Any ideas what to try next?

Pretty much having the same issues as everyone else (will be checking the relays today) but mine does have smoke coming out occasionally when I start it, not sure from where though...somewhere near the engine it looks like.

your avatar is sick man.LOL

Hell yeah, them be smoken

i bought a 95 eclipse rs a bout a month ago the water pump went my dad and i fixed it 2 find that the heater hose was blown also after fighting with the battery and cold air intake we fixed it now that its back together it wont start i have purple spark (thank u msd) and a lot of fuel it sprays out when we pull the plugs

we called a dealer and they saud that we may have cooked the temp sensor taking it home with no coulant and its pushing gas at it to try to cool down the engine

my dad and i are muscle car people so these sensors and comps are new to us

Somebody will know but this isn't necessarily the best place to ask. Make a new topic for it- I'll do it and post a link

I'm feeling nice today so I'll PM it to you also

I have a 92 Turbo Eclipse with 117000 miles. The engine runs a little rough.
When it is cold outside in the morning, like 50 degrees or less, the starter turns but the engine won't start. When the sun comes out and it gets warmer later in the day, the car starts after a few cranks. It has been doing this for a while. What component could be temperature sensitive and stop working correctly at below 50 degrees?? I don't know what to check first...

sup guys i got this newly rebuilt engine in my 98 gsx and it has perfect compression and fuel but wont start...it turns over but wont fully start up...ran computer and no codes come up...replaced the spark plugs and im getting spark and the fuel is pumping so im out of ideas...what could be the problem?

Yo? Two questions.

1) I saw the page that tells how to tell what year the replacement motor is. Question is how to tell what the 10th digit is. There are 4 on the top and 7 on the botom of the plate. The 10th is 3, but there is no way that the engine is a 03. Is there another plate?

2)I have a 93 Eclipse GS. The origanal motor is still in it, but it won't crank. You can hear it trying to start, but the cams don't turn. Any simple soloutions or are the valves obviously fried?

Any help on these matters is greatly appreciated. Peace.
