Hi, I'm New to the 4G69 and I read somewhere on here about an updated timing belt tensioner that helps prevent premature failures but couldn't find any info on the differences or a part number and I just bought an "07" Eclipse GS that had the belt failure and will be ordering parts soon. Any...

Hi Need some advice. 2007 2.4l 275K miles I've owned the car since 2010, 33K miles. I've had great luck with this car, no major issues ever, except for the brakes randomly going out on me about 2 years ago-which was fixed with a recall. Not sure if any of this is related. I screwed up...

I have been looking around and it seems that RRM makes turbo kits for the 2000s lancer ralliart that shares the same engine, 4g69, with us. They also make performance parts for the 4g69, like port and polished intake manifold, and turbo exhaust manifolds, that in the site, they say it fits the...

Can anyone help me with this? Not sure what to do next but I think my replacement compressor is unworking in my 09GT - Had the original compressor in and I believe I messed it up (last year) because I took an old can of refrigerant and used that to top up and then shortly thereafter the...

I loaded rpm,knock sum and ignition load on fastwork. When I look at the datalog and click on the knock sum. Do I go to the highest knock sum and take away timing in that cell or do I adjust right when the knock sum start to happened? I want to learn how to use this software. I only got knock...

Hey yall, first post, i came across the site after purchasing an 04 galant 4g69 engine that needed a timing belt overhaul. Losts of noise and chatter. Got the car for $600 and drove a little. the car was in time when I purchased it and before I began to work on it. I have so far taken off the...

First time Eclipse owner. bought an 07 Spyder GT with only 16,000 km (10,000) miles. Even though it's 12 years old it looks like new. First time convertible owner as well. So far so good. Tons of fun to drive. Parked now for the winter (Manitoba, Canada) but I'm working on a few things for...

I recently replaced my head with the outlander xls version and I found out that the cam profiles are a bit different. In mivec, the valves seem to open about 4-8 degrees earlier. Would I advance ignition timing in this case?

Last weekend I had the bright idea to tear apart my interior to clean it and see what was all broke so I could replace it and make my drives a little more enjoyable. I realized a few months ago the front right door speaker was blown or has something going on with it, so I was just going to...

Hi everyone, hope you all are doing well. So my 07 GT (6-speed) is experiencing two misfire codes. At first, it was P0304, so I checked the front bank of spark plugs and found the plugs and boots to be covered in oil. I changed the valve cover gasket and tube seals on those, and the code went...

Had local Mitz dealer do my timing belt and now power steering belt not lining up. Looks like power steering pulley is further out than idler pulley and crank pulley. Was half off by time I got home. Has anybody heard of this before? Oh yeah 3.8 mivec.....

Hey guys, I just found the forum last night and the amount of info here is amazing for someone like me who doesn’t know about cars. I am in a rough spot financially and a student of mine is helping arrange a purchase of a 2009 Eclipse GS. It is manual transmission and I drove it for about 10...

I searched on a few things and didn't see a discussion so I'm going to put my questions here ... My car: 2007 Spyder GT ... 97K auto , prior owner had just changed out the valve cover gaskets and installed a new top... I just had the timing belt (Dayco Premium), water pump and spark plugs...

Hi Folks, I have been a 4G GS owner since 2006 and was on the forum way back then. The car has never been back to the shop as I do all my own maintenance. I need to get the brake recall done, but that's another story. I just had my timing belt break on the way to work the other day and of...

I have a 2006 eclipse GS (4 cylinder) 5 spd, that is approaching 100k will be there by next year. What needs to be done? I have had the car since 78k miles in that time no timing belt or major maintenance has been done. Obvous stuff like brakes, coolant and little things like that but no major...

I am thinking about purchasing the rre underdrive pulley. Just did my timing belt and everything so no problem there. Just having concerns about what I been reading all over the internet. As in it could cause the oil pump to go, crank, engine damage. I understand everything slows down due to the...

As I slowly work my way through my long list of mods (currently getting an AIT body kit installed, next up is RRE header) I want to make sure I'm future-proofing my Eclipse. It's at 100k miles and I'm putting a shitload of time/money into it, so I'll need to get to at least 160k-180k miles on it...
