Engine Problem

[Sleepr awd]

if you can find a small performance shop they are sometimes cheaper, engine's aren't expensive, shipping may be, and my friend's performance shop will swap engine's for 600$ or so

[2006 ECLIPSE GT]

try junk yards. a friend of mine had to replace his motor in his 2000 eclipse gt and he found a motor under 50k for less then a grand.

If it wasn't for the fact that I moved to Idaho the day after I bought my Eclipse I would have never had to bought it. When I had my 3000GT there before I totalled it I had to take it to the closest Mitsu Dealership to have anything done to it and that was an hour an a half away. When I was having issues with it blowing fuses because of a broken motor mount I had to have it towed to the dealership 3 times in 2 weeks before they discovered the problem, talk about expenisive.

.............................. WTF!? thats the first time i've heard of that problem and how in the world would that work!?

Engine was leaning back pinching a wire (I think it was the ignition wire) anyway it would keep blowing a fuze for the motor. It sounded odd to me as well but after they replaced the motor mount it never happened

tahts plain goofy, people always look at me funny when i say i replaced my motor mounts... "you broke those ALREADY?!!?" nah, but i thought i should get a head start

i guess that's just one of those answers that you almost can't figure out for yourself, pinching the wire and all
