How can you manually lower a convertible top?

Not fun. Your probably going to have to remove the rear seat or rear panels and access/disconnect the drive mecahnism. Maybe you'll get lucky and you can just unhook the linkage and lower it that way.

Hope that helps.

from the trunk, remove hyd. fluid from the conv. top pump, operate top by hand. worked for me for years

Where is the speed sensor located in a 97 Mitsubishi Eclipse?

1-Take the battery out

2-Remove the battery tray

3-You should see the black sensor on the top of the transmission on the back.

It takes a 10mm socket then it should lift out.

Take the plastic gear off and see if the shaft will spin with a drill with someone in the car watching the speedo (the car has to be on)

If it works, then just check all the connections with the wires and the gear to the tranny.

If you can stick your whole fingers through the hole and spin it...the whole tanny has to come out to replace the gear ;)

Where is the TCU located on a 1997 Mitsubishi eclipse?

It depends. if you have a eclipse that was made by chrystler then it is the one box deep behind the radio mounted on the floor board. it looks like an ecu but chrystler put that under the hood. If its a Mitsubishi made eclipse then the ecu is right beside the tcu behind your radio. the tcu in the Mitsubishi made car is to the right on the pasengers side.

What are compression ratios?

When fuel is introduced into the combustion chamber it is under pressure (14.7 lbs). If your compression ration is 9.5:1 (for example) multiply 9.5 times 14.7 and you will have the actual pressure that the fuel is at when you piston is at its top most position and the fuel is most compressed. Basically, the greater the compression ratio, the bigger the bang when a spark (from your spark plug) is introduced to the compressed fuel. If the bang and the strength of the piston, cylinder wall, tie rods etc. are well calibrated, your car will go fast. If they're not your engine will go bang and your car won't go anywhere.

Its called TDC (top dead center). And what you need to have bigger bang lol is more air and fuel. lol you went out of the question with that.

What could be wrong with a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse when you're driving with the AC on and it is cold then when you stop with the car still on it shoots out hot air?

The engine could be too hot for the ac to work. When the engine idles, the compresser isn't spinning as fast and can't keep the AC cold Possibly a cooling system problem, probably just a combo of the above.

Why Mitsubishi eclipse does not start when hot?

Had this problem for quite some time, very similar. The engine will not start when it is warm. Recently it started dying when the engine got too warm.

It is a sensor that won't work when the engine is (too) warm, and there are two of these sensors.

Since I don't know the actual name of the thing, I can try to explain where you find it and approximately what it does. The price to get a new one is probably in the range of $50 or less (I think). You can *easily* replace it yourself.

My car is a Carisma 1999 GDI.

Remove the top plastic engine cover of the engine so you expose the engine. Notice the cover has insulation under it, to "keep" the engine warm (for whatever reason). Picture:http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NDQ1WDU5Mw==/$T2eC16Z,!zUE9s38+F9nBQSeWvMYZQ48_79.JPG

I believe the name of the bad sensor is: CAMSHAFT SENSOR.

When you now look at the engine you see the 4 spark plugs. Cables go out from these spark plugs and go to the right. On the right hand side of the right spark plug towards you you see a small gizmo with cables coming out. Attached with a single 12mm screw, a cable coming out off of it.

The sensor itself is the size of a half thumb inside, and it is a magnet that detects the coil position (am I right ?). This magnet tells the spark plugs when to spark. Buy a new one sensor. There's a second sensor like this on another place in the engine but I don't know where exactly - it has the same job.

One temporary trick is that you can do is remove insulation inside the engine-cover around this sensor, or remove the cover alltogether. Makes things cool down faster, or use cooling-spray.
