But I have checked the lines to the clutch cylinder with no leaks. I had my buddy push on the clutch while looking and couldn't find anything wrong. I can bleed it and the clutch gets good and tight. But only for a few days.

At first I thought it may be a faulty seal around the cap cause my radiator cap was blowing water out, so I thought this might be the same. I can pour fluid in the canister and in a few days it's empty. There is no leaks that I can see but the fluid is going somewhere.

Could it be a bad Master cylinder?

Thanx. ]]> Eclipse Problem Diagnosis Cavalier9696 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=971300 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=971203&goto=newpost Wed, 25 Nov 2009 04:45:48 GMT i bought a 97 eagle talon for a junk work car. it runs well but after a couple weeks of driving the cigarette lighter and the blinkers quit. the hazards still work, no blown fuses and i couldnt see the switch quitting without showing prior issues. please help. i bought a 97 eagle talon for a junk work car. it runs well but after a couple weeks of driving the cigarette lighter and the blinkers quit. the hazards still work, no blown fuses and i couldnt see the switch quitting without showing prior issues. please help. ]]> Eclipse Problem Diagnosis chucky123 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=971203 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=971193&goto=newpost Wed, 25 Nov 2009 03:35:50 GMT the car is smoking black like hell i dont know whats gng on some have any idea whats gng on..hesitates in the biginning of throttle then revs fast past 3000rpm's...:runaround: ]]> Eclipse Problem Diagnosis donmaton86 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=971193 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=970720&goto=newpost Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:47:04 GMT So the other day I started my car up and in the parked position the engine started jumping from 1000rpms (normal idle) to 2000rpms, it jumps up and down until I turn the car off. If I drive the car and put it in gear then it drives its self in any gear! because it keeps jumping in RPMS... some times it will just stay steady at 3000rpms..

I took it into the shop and they replaced the circuit and I drove it home. I let it sit for about a week then I go back to start it up and the battery is completely dead. I take the battery to get charged and tested and it was fine. I go and put the battery back in the car to start it up, but it wont start.

I can turn the car left at 40-50mph and fight the normal oversteer into a hard corner. If I try a turn to the rightat speed then the car cuts out. The radio, interior, etc all still work, so it doesnt feel electrical. It FEELS like a fuel cut of some kind, but I cant find anything that would cause a fuel cut under stress while turning in one direction. I guess it could be mechanical somehow, but it really does not feel that way, it just seems like I suddenly lose all power, the nose dives, and a second later it comes back on. If I'm still in the corner, it cuts back out again for a second, then comes back on.
If I take the same corner but do not stay on the throttle it will take the corner fine.

Any ideas? I've checked the wiring from the battery terminals and the ground, nothing is loose on the pigtails or anything. ]]> Eclipse Problem Diagnosis LWheeler78 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=970212 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=969864&goto=newpost Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:33:43 GMT to start off with its a 1997 eclipse gs 5 spd i have had a problem that started about 5 weeks ago and has gradually got worse i have a scanner and all that came up was p0442 evap emmision small leak deteced so i changed all the emmisions hoses nothing it has like a hesitation per say idles about 1100 and back fires when you get on it so i really need so advice help all is appreaciated i changed the feul filter tps iac and no codes are being sent currently about a few hours ago after i changed the tps a code said tps/pedal posoitoin circuit a high input thanks guys to start off with its a 1997 eclipse gs 5 spd
