Recently my Eclipse has started stalling while I'm driving.. I thought it may have been the MAF but I replaced that and I still have the same issue. I'll be driving, and all of a sudden it's like my gas pedal does nothing, the engine shuts off, and if I push in the clutch, then the revs go down to 0. I'm able to start the car up again after about 5 seconds but a couple miles later it does the same thing again. I thought about the fuel filter, but i've heard the only filter this car has is inside the tank.

What could be causing this?

Throttle body is clean, I cleaned it a few months ago. This started out of nowhere about a week ago. I've stopped driving it till I can determine the cause and solution.

When I replaced the MAF I did disconnect the battery to reset the ECU.

Any ideas/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Check the usual one spark plug, spark plug wire,TPS, CPS. Does it throw anything on the check engine light?

Nope, no CEL. It's completely random. I took the car out for a drive yesterday, lasted 15 minutes without stalling then I got another stall.. then it ran fine again once i started it up.

Maybe you are having a problem with your idle speed controller or your nuetral safety switch.

perhaps this has somethin to do w/ it - I took the fuel pump out today figuring maybe I'd replace the filter. One of the electrical connectors for the fuel pump looks like it was shorting out - melted through its housing. I'm guessing it's time for a replacement?

That would be a safe assumption. I would replace it, it can't hurt anything to replace it even if it's not the source of your problem.

I was going to suggest looking at this from a fuel perspective. :)

I'm really trying to fix it to sell it. I bought a motorcycle and it's my sole transportation now. $200/mo for car insurance isn't worth it for me when i work at home. So i'm hoping that will fix it. I got the whole assembly from Autozone for $300
