95 Eclipse GS-T Firing problem
I just got my 95 eclipse from a middle aged women who's ex boyfriend had it. She sold it because of the timing belt and the catalytic converter. I replaced the timing belt and lined everything up like my haynes manual says, I also detached the catalytic converter once I did that it started and ran rough. With my fathers help we figured out that only the #3 piston is firing even though all of them have spark. The car does run on the #3 piston alone so I know my timing must be right. Of course the engine cannot idle and it stalls when you let go of the gas I am only 16 and my father and I have been at this for 3 days so help would be appreciated.

Re: 95 Eclipse GS-T Ignition problem
Welcome to AF.
Did the timing belt snap on the car? These motors are interference engine so if the belt broke while the car was running there is a good chance it has some bent valves. I would do a compression test on the motor to see if thats the case.

Re: 95 Eclipse GS-T Ignition problem
FWIW- I normally don't like body kits on eclipses but yours looks pretty good! Also quarter panel vents? Are they functional somehow or just for looks?
