92856, Help, car is running like shit
Posted by OneHowtDSM, Sep-04-05 05:33 PM
I have a 99 Eclipse GS turboed, all of a sudden today on my way home like 15 miles from my house my car starts sputtering....I filled up 2 days ago so I still have 3/4 a tank so I'm like WTF so anyways it stalls so I start it back up and everytime I slow down it sputters and stalled so I ended up having to put it in neutral and put alittle gas on it the whole time or it would stall so when I'm driving at over 3k RPM's it fine but then at idle it dies it's dark now and it's pissing me off so I haven't even looked but was just wondering if anyone has had this happen to them so I have something to look for, it's obviously a fuel problem I would think but I got check over everything tomorrow this car is just really starting to piss me off it's down more than I drive it and I don't have another and can't afford another car I dunno what to do some insite would be appreciated greatly

Any check engine codes? Could be fuel OR spark (electrical).

Mine did that when my EGR vavle went out, just take it off and block off the holes. and see if it works.

Search for "key dance" this will help you determine codes
Then search for "egr block off" this will help you block off your egr. (as well as teach you what it is)
I figure since I cant stop fixing the damn thing, I'll just create more problems to work on. :) The stock pile has begun. Parts PArts PARts PARTs PARTS!!!
I'm a novice listen to what I say and make your own conclusion. If I'm wrong tell me and I will learn. Thanks be to the 2gnt Gods may they grant me turbo and fruits of the Earth. Amen.
