Re: 1999 Eclipse sounds like a popcorn machine

Woot the popcorn is gone and my Eclipse doesn't lose power on the highway anymore! Turns out I kept getting bad wires until now. Now for the part that stumps me... apparently there are still misfires going. I don't feel or hear anything though. Not that I know much of it because I'm not exactly car smart... I reread your post because I remember you mentioning something else. Where and how would I check EGR tube and coil packs? As the for the misfires... my check engine light blinks when I idle at a stop. a friend of mine mention this might have to do with my AC compressor/ power steering belt. I removed it because my tensioner pulley fell completely off. Stripped bolt... my doing. I ordered a whole new tensioned assembly because why not replace the whole setup- the old tensioner assembly was slightly rusty (I live right on the coast). could that have anything to do with the idling? I have my doubts as it doesn't sound too logical to me...
