'minor' accident the seller says it was all cosmetic damage, should I run a vehicle report any way or take him at his word. any advise would be appreciated.
my 2000 RS model with 115000 miles on it with no engine trouble and regular maintenance has KBB private party value of $5000.
so you really want to get a history report from an independent 3rd party on this '04 car before you step in.
i want to know if anyone out there has horror stories of engine failure or has any idea on the expected lifetime of an eclipse.
thanx.
it is releiving to know that there is someone out there with an even older RS than mine. i have a 2000 RS. it now has over 115K miles on it, mostly highway driven.
lately i have been concerned with the life expectancy of my car. i have never had engine trouble. i think the most i have had to do is replace brake pads, rotors, and the battery.
how many miles do you have on yours, and could you please share what you know about the old RS models? they do not make them any more, do they?

Thanks

All of the windows except for the drivers side will not roll up, unless I hold down the rag top close button (VERY STRANGE) any advice would be appreciated thank you.
so.. here are the theories...
1. engine ready for replacement and may have a bad bearing?
2. when i accelerate the oil pressure goes up and the light goes away.. so it's not the sensors...
3. i heard mention of an oil pump in other messages?
i love my eclipse... in great condition, other than this oil light at idle... so now i'm very concerned it will die on me someday when sitting at idle... any suggestions?
Is there something i can do or purchase to really increase oil pressure while at idle?
Should I just sell my eclipse asap, because good likelihood of near future engine failure?
What could happen?
I was planning to keep my Eclipse for life until this light showed up!
Now, I've been heavily entertaining new vehicles....
I've located the fuel filter but there seems to be a black box above it that prevents me from getting into the fuel filter....
what do i do?
Any help is well appreciated.
Thanks

I have had my 2000 Eclipse in the shop for a replacement O2 filter, these jokes almost runied the enitre exhaust manifold by trying to tear the O2 sensor out. Anyway the engine light came on, I did a code check and now it says O2 sensor Bank 1 Sesnor 2 is bad - anyone know the location of this sensor?
Thanks
Mike
please suggest.
did u ever find out if that was your problem or what?
another thing with my car is that the cd wont work at all... so i went to check the fuse. there wasnt one so i attempted to put one in but there are no metal prongs inside the fuse box to hold the fuse... very wierd. i know the previous owners had a system in the car, but what could have they done to and how do i make it work cause it sucks to have no tunes in a new car.
Hello,
We have a 90 Mitsubishi Eclipse and the machanic said it needs a new IDLE SPEED CONTROL MOTOR. I've been checking the symptoms and wondered about the screw in the throttle, but my spouse says there are many screws, and doesn't know which to adjust. Could you tell me where the "how to" message you wrote is?
If we find adjusting the screw doesn't help, then maybe we need what the mechanic stated, or do anyway and I am just trying to avoid buying one.
I realize it would help if we bought a manual. We just recently purchased this vehicle for cheap and put money into it, and are needing to put more into it.
I also thought previously that the mechanic adjusted the timing so it wouldn't die, but think that he actually adjusted the idling, which would be the screw?? So, it's already been done maybe.
Thanks, Penny

Also, if there are 2000 Eclipse RS users out there, can you tell me if there is any sort of a front grill. Currently, this car I'm looking at has an open cavity in lower front, under the hood, and I can look clean into the lower part of the radiator. Should there be some form of a grill in this area, or is this by design? It just seems odd to me that tehre owuld not be a grill there to help deflect pebbles being kicked up, or even to help prevent salt from being spryed into the engine area.
Thanks
had to replace clutch had few problems, in the process of putting navigation w/backup camera in it.
But I was thinking about getting another one for street mods and such (I'm starting a custom car shop)and selling my other car, but I went to look at one and the guy swore up and down it's an eclipse it was actually a talon with eclipse rear clip and front clip, and he wanted 8K for it I talked him down a little but how does the Talon "converted" to an Eclipse effect the value of the car, if I were to buy it or sell??
I have a 2000 Eclipse V6. I would like to know how amny milse can we go before changing the timing belt. Will it last for atleast 90 K miles ?
good luck
