Mitsubishi Eclipse

its in your manual...

i have a Mitsubishi eclipse gt 2002 manual and it needs SAE 75W-85W (GL-4)

don't know about the A/T...

yes they can fit but u shouldn't lower the car just leave it factory height and everything will be ok

It's never a good idea to just replace parts to attempt a repair. First find out WHY the engine will not start. By replacing parts you have introduced other possibilities into the possible reasons for the engine not running. Always go back to the basics: Fuel, Spark and Compression. If you have the three in the proper timing, the engine should start. You did not mention if the engine "cranks" when you try to start it but since you claim that the starter is ok I'll assume that it cranks. Check to see if there is a spark. Pull a spark plug wire, either use a tester or connect a spare spark plug to the wire and set it on the engine block while you attempt to start the engine. If you get no spark, trace everything back to see if voltage is getting to the coil before replacing the coil. Same thing with fuel. See if there is fuel pressure to the injectors or if there is fuel at the carb if it isn't injected. Get a compression tester to see if something bad has happened internally. If the timing chain/belt has slipped and you have no compression the engine will never start. It's always a matter of going back to the basics.

The first generation Eclipse was released in early 1989 as a 1990 model. It was offered in 5 trims. Eclipse, with a 92 horsepower hamster engine, the RS with 92 horsepower and better trim options, the decent GS DOHC with 140 hp, bigger wheels and much better handling, the monster GS-T turbo(the thing would rip your head off) and the GSX all wheel drive gem that I was sad to see go away after 1999.

The end of this stick has a twist in it, above that there is a notch cut out of the stick, and then about an inch above that is another notch, you want your oil level between the notches

Yes.

The head gasket itself isn't actually expensive. The labour of taking the head off and back on is the expensive. For example when I did my car it was £60 for the gasket and if I was to go to a garage they would of charged £200 labour.

it is the upper stream o2 sensor before the convertor

im pretty sure but don't mark my words on this but i own a 1995 Mitsubishi eclipseRS and am repalacing mine because it is broken and leaking oil. it should be located at the back of the block if you know what it looks like it should be easy to see from the underneath of your car. it will be sticking out the back with wires pluged into it.

There are two sensors on bank 2. On is before catalytic converter another one is after. Bank 2 is facing the firewall. Thus it's pain to replace those sensors.

If you want to change the light you have to remove the right rear internal panel (located in the trunk). Only after removing the panel you will gain access to the light. Then it's just matter of removing nuts replacing the light and putting everything together.

The crankshaft itself will turn the opposite way to the bolt.

There are many possible reasons. This sounds mostly like a fuel-related problem but can also be related to electrical issues (i.e. ignition). I'll list them form the most-likely to least-likey: 1. spark plugs - replace them if needed and verify they are gapped correctly. 2. spark plug wires - these wear out over time. check for signs of cracking and torn boots. You can also *lightly* spray water on them with the car running and look for any arcing or sparks. 3. clogged or drity fuel injector - you should run a full tank of Amoco Ultimate (has the most cleaners in it) every other month or so. Doing this regularly will avoid the needless expense of having to get your injectors cleaned. 4. clogged or dirty fuel filter - replace if necessary. 5. distributor cap & rotor - these also wear over time. Check the cap and rotor points and make sure there isn't carbon buildup. 6. Igniter or ignition coil - if your distributor cap & rotor are bad you should also check the coil and igniter. 7. throttle body - if you regularly use lower quality gas you can get buildups over time leading to a gas pedal that feels "sticky". Clean if necessary. 8. fuel pump going bad? Check your fuel pressure to make sure your pump is not on its way out. 9. EGR valve - exhaust gas recirculation valves can occasionally go bad 10. PCV valve - similar to the throttle body this can cause similar probs. 11. air filter - easy enough to check 12. ignition timing - did this problem begin after a timing belt replacement? If so, I would guess that your ignition timing needs to be adjusted. Usually, this can be done by rotating the distributor housing. If you have reached the max. that the housing will turn and it's still not timed correctly, the timing belt might be "off by a tooth" or so. 13. bad gasoline - is this consistent or did it only begin after you bought the "gas that was on sale"? Has your car been sitting for a LONG period of time? Also, you may want to check the valves, if you have the 2001 eclipse GS, you have the 2.4 L 4g64 engine, which is known for having burnt valves from running it too hard/racing it. I had the exact same problem, and am just about to put the engine back to gether and set the timing on it. I had all 8 of my exhaust valves burned pretty bad, but was able to grind them and re-lap them in.

See the service manual starting on Page 11-27 for details on replacing/overhauling the pan at http://tearstone.com/eclipsefsm/GR00002900-11C.pdf

Depending on if you have a Cali Spec eclipse or a Fed. Spec eclipse, If you have a Federal Spec. you only have an oxygen sensor before the cat and right after the cat. and you won't have one in the header.

You need to check if your car is equipped with cruise control. to do so look at your vin number. the 8th letter should be C. if not the cruise control is located at the base of your right leg. sometimes it might be covered by a shoe, if so untie. good luck Jeff.

Buy a boost controller.

To see if your 3rd generation eclipse has an alarm open your hood and look on the right side of you radiator near the stock air filter ramp. If it does you will see a little black and grey buzzer. Or look at your keys if it has the little alarm button.

Follow the upper radiator hose to the engine to find the thermostat cover.

It would be hard to get into gear and would make grinding noises when shifting.

The computer doesn't allow to start the engine. Check the error code.
