#305 of 474 Smell by kenpc Oct 29, 2005 (10:49 am)
I just bought a 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS 4 cylinder. Occasionally, there is a bad smell inside the car. It appears to happen when the engine is revved up more than normal. Any ideas?

Replying to: ukrbyk (Nov 11, 2002 6:18 pm) Quote "Read my message how to overhaul idle speed valve and clean RGA valve." Hello, We have a 90 Mitsubishi Eclipse and the machanic said it needs a new IDLE SPEED CONTROL MOTOR. I've been checking the symptoms and wondered about the screw in the throttle, but my spouse says there are many screws, and doesn't know which to adjust. Could you tell me where the "how to" message you wrote is? If we find adjusting the screw doesn't help, then maybe we need what the mechanic stated, or do anyway and I am just trying to avoid buying one. I realize it would help if we bought a manual. We just recently purchased this vehicle for cheap and put money into it, and are needing to put more into it. I also thought previously that the mechanic adjusted the timing so it wouldn't die, but think that he actually adjusted the idling, which would be the screw?? So, it's already been done maybe. Thanks, Penny

Replying to: sean3 (Sep 07, 2005 4:36 pm) Go here: dsmtuners.com . Register and ask any question and someone really smart will help you out. I can answer a few of your questions. yes the spyder is the only eclipse to have the 2.4L engine but it only gains you 1 (yes one)HP over the 2.0L. non-spyder 2.0L has 140 HP and spyder w/ 2.4L has 141HP (both stock). So it really doesnt make much of a difference. And yes the engine is a chrysler motor made in illinois. I have a 98 GS with almost 90,000 miles and I have had no problems with it. I push it alot too. So your car should be good for quite some time. The engine is known for a few problems but I havent experienced any. One issue that isnt that big of a deal is when you push the car the oil dipstick will pop out and spray oil all over your engine which starts to smoke but its never happened to me and all you have to do is clean it up and put more oil in. But the car is awesome and good looking so enjoy. anymore questions feel free to ask me or anyone on dsmtuners.com will be happy to help too.   Ryan

Replying to: frogsternow (Oct 19, 2005 9:02 am) maybe the light just isnt working. If your car still shifts into 4 gear then you dont have a problem but if you cant get to fourth youll have to ask someone else.
#310 of 474 2000 Eclipse RS by barrystanky Nov 06, 2005 (2:52 pm)
I am about to purchase a 2000 Eclipse. It has 104K miles, and is still running great. Everything I have read to date seems to make me believe it is a great car, and I am getting a good deal. However, I read another forum that seemed to suggest tehre is a water accumulation problem from both doors, that can leave upt to an inch of water inside the car. THis would then lead to shorting of speakers since the stereo amp is underneath the passneger seat?   Also, if there are 2000 Eclipse RS users out there, can you tell me if there is any sort of a front grill. Currently, this car I'm looking at has an open cavity in lower front, under the hood, and I can look clean into the lower part of the radiator. Should there be some form of a grill in this area, or is this by design? It just seems odd to me that tehre owuld not be a grill there to help deflect pebbles being kicked up, or even to help prevent salt from being spryed into the engine area.

#312 of 474 my 92 by john1977 Dec 04, 2005 (3:30 pm)
Replying to: ares666 (Nov 30, 2005 8:59 am) I have a 1992 Eclipse with 180,000 miles and the thing performs absolutely great for a car of that miles , except it develops a tick in the valves every so often- are these valves adjustable? And do the GSs come with no power steering on some s? Thanks
