ok i just got this car a week ago. the guy said he thought it had a swap and cams put in it. it ran great then the other night, i was messing around and i spun the tires in first gear and i think i put into limp mode. it ran like crap till i got it home. now it runs good but backfires everyonce in awhile. any ideas what to check? thanks

Welcome.
Lets try for some more info.
What trim is it? RS, GS, GS-T, GSX?
I take it this is an automatic? What makes you think you put it into "limp mode"? That usually denotes an issue with the transmission.
Start by doing the usuall preventive maintinence things, oil change, plugs, plug wires, air filter, throttle body cleaning (IMO the best way to clean it, is to remove it, and use sensor safe carb clean, you will need a new throttle body gasket), check all vacumm lines, etc.
Next, I might go to a muffler shop, and have them check the exhaust system. I would also get a fuel pressure guage, and check the fuel pressure (or have a shop do it).
Our cars need to have the timing belt changed every 60,000 miles, unless the previous owner changed it, or has documentation showing that is was changed, I would have the timing belt, both pulleys, the tensioner, and water pump changed.
Try some of that stuff, and see if that helps.

no its a stick and the belts look new. i did like 8 grand in first roasting the tires and now it runs good but i dont think like it did.

Might of skipped a tooth on your timing when you made her scream. That will cause the backfiring and the running like crap. Check the marks and see if they still line up.

+1 for the timing. I totally forgot about that.
SInce it is a manual, you don't have to worry about "limp mode". Limp mode is ONLY for automatics.

You're an idiot. Plain and simple. Sell the car to someone with a little more respect. It's people like you that are making these cars disappear.

whatever man ive had built hondas and never had this prob, plus i was just seeing what it had. you can go flame else where.

Of course your the owner of a Honda....that explains it.

Ok, let me just say this. There is absolutely NO reason you should EVER rev your motor to 8k unless you are on the track and you have LOADS of mods. The factory redline is like 7.5 somewhere areound there, so if you reved it to 8k, then you probably fucked something up.

I tried telling him that, he won't listen.

I must have missed the "reving to 8K" part some where.
uhhhh...... yeah.... That was universally fucking STUPID.
Smell your engine oil. If it smells like a burnt ass sewer..... I think you can figure it out from there.

well first off it wasnt on purpose i was doing a burn out and it hit like prob 7 grand. second i have done alot of work on cars and this has never happened. but tghanks for your comments

Just because you can work on cars doesn't mean you can drive them.

Besides, you were still TRYING to do a "burn out"......which is pretty stupid.

welcome to the mitsu forums lol, but def check timing, and u might have to replace the belt because if u did jump it, you may have stretched the belt, so replace it if need be.

congratulations, but now you own a mitsu so if you want a car to spank on and beat up, get another honda.

and the person who told you it had a "swap" is retarded. people don't swap engines around in n/t eclipses, just the turbo models.

Just for a heads up, the people on this forum get touchy when people do stupid things off the track............like 8k burnouts. We prefer to treat things with respect and put safety first :thumbsup:

I get all kinds of touchy, in yo ass.
