My Busted Ass Dsm

i just bought a 96 eclipse gs-t... and after buying it it started to lose power and regain it (it did this real fast making a very jerky obnoxious ride) the car basicly jerks forward real hard then slows then lurches forward again, i was told it is my spark plugs and wires but after replacing those theirs no diffrance... this only usually happense under hard acceleration, wtf is wrong with my car???

i belive its something called teh CAM sensor.. My bro had a simlar problem with a SHO replace it and if its still bucking i think theres a thred on this that i can find out some more info

[ilostagaln]

if you could find out that would be super cool.. thanks for the info, i'll chekc out that cam sensor deal though

call the place you bought it, it should be covered under warranty

[ilostagaln]

its a 96 i bought it used from a private owner cuz i got an awsome deal on it and then like 3 weeks after it started this shit, but umm i dont mind fixing it if i know where to look to solve the issue

I belive the bucking is due to either the CPS (crank Position sensor), The CID (can position sensor) or you have oil in your skark plugs witch means a cracked valve cover or something of the sort.

Im not shure about dsm's ahving this problems but i know for other cars it was either the CPS or CID. these are cheap parts and my dad my brother and I replaced them on his SHO so you should be able to replace them. I sugjest asking this on a DSM only forum to get better help

well.... did u get it fixed?
