Posted by pancito, Nov-19-01 04:33 PM
The one besides the Open Door sign, ok today i hit around 7,200 to 7500 rpms this is the second time it happen to me, my power Steering and AC belt came off, i fix it AGAIN, and this light came on is like a greek building, it's in yellow not red, and i don't know what is it, it's on the right side of the gauges (MPH, RPMS).

TIA

In my owners manual, it describes that light as the "If this comes on, you need to downshift. Lugging the motor in your new Eclipse is Bad" light. I can see how it would come on, bouncing off the rev limiter.. but that's not when it's supposed to come on.

Mine came on when my radiator fill container/overflow container was low near empty back when I broke the stock plastic radiator then replaced with a metal radiator!!

was ther any noticable difference, between the rads??? i used to have a VW GTI, and when i changed the rad, water pump and flushed the water, it went down a lot the temperature, and i want to do that to the kiplz, i'm approching 120K Miles so it's about time I'll do all that, to the peeps that had done the 60k service, how much are we talking about???? 100, 200 dlls. more???

yeah, i also removed the thermostat and my car even after running real hard on the interstate doesnt even go 1/8 past the cold mark...

I paid 125 bucks brand new at a local radiator shop that had them sittin on the shelf...the junk yard wanted 150 for a used plastic one that I was gonna have to wait a week for!!
