Do you need to get the pistons rings changed when the compression test for your 97 eclipse GT came 135 100 110 125 A lot of white smoke was coming from the tailpipe?

White smoke is an indication of a blown head gasket. Stop driving this car immediately. Although the compression is not great, it is not bad enough to warrant an expensive overhaul. If on the other hand you find that the head gasket has indeed blown, then you might want to just go ahead an overhaul the engine as the head will have to be removed anyway. You will need more than just new rings. the head gasket test came negative. The head gasket is fine. whast wrong with it. Is the turbo leaking oil

Where is the air intake temperature sensor located on a 1991 Eclipse?

if you are trying to find this to make more power by upping your fuel mixture by tricking that sensor i am telling you its a bad idea. you really are not going to make any real power, contrary to popular belief, especially if you are an N.A. motor. if you are trying to find it for a real reason it is on the back side of the intake plenum closer to the passenger side of the motor. it has a grey plug and what will look like a threaded nut and nipple that attatches it to the plenum. honestly if you are trying to trick the ecu with that sensor you are going to regret it later on. in all actuality if its a turbo car you should even be worried about something that insignificant spend the dough get a boost controller and youre good. if its an N.A. car nothing you can ever do short of a motor swap or a heap of nitrous will ever make that car fast.

How much horsepower does a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT have?

In 2000 they had 205HP (federal specs) or 200HP (california specs). California spec eclipses have precats added to help pass harsher emission tests, this lowers the horsepower. To check which one you have there is a sticker on the firewall on the passenger side, check the code on it. If the second last digit is a 4 it's a FED if it's a 9 it's a Cali.

In 2000 they didn't have the GTS they were made from 2003-2005 I think.

Where are the spark plugs on a 2003 Mitsubishi eclipse gs?

Is this a serious question? If so, then I will answer it seriously. Your spark plugs are located under your spark plug wires. Looking at the engine, you will see two square black boxes sitting atop your valve cover. Those are your ignition coils. See those wires coming from each ignition coil? Follow those wires and, upon grasping them at the base where they enter your valve cover and softly pulling in an upward motion, you will find your spark plugs nestled at the bottom of a long tube. Thanks for playing.

What is considered good gas mileage?

20 mpg is what you are getting, and many people would love to get that mileage.

A typical minivan will get 17-22, an SUV 11-16, a car 20-30, and a motorcycle 30-50mpg.

The mileage you are getting is pretty good, unless you have a very small van.

20-30 for a car is "standard" but I would not call it good!

Think about it. standard. Let's take a look at the REAALLLY GOOD GAS MILEAGE and go for the gusto. The hybrid cars (gas-electric) are pulling in 45city/52hwy mph.

yep and really good gas mileage for a scooter is cool since they can get 70mpg!! (only need 1 gallon to fill up the tank, great for city getting-arounds.

I consider anything under 20mpg to be poor and anything over 30mpg to be good. I guess that makes average about 25mpg in my book. VBD

The answer depends very much on the type of vehicle that you are speaking of. An "average" compact car will have a much different "average" than a family car. Try fueleconomy.gov or gas-mileage.us to dig deeper for the vehicles you want to compare.

You can do this one of two ways.
