| Subject: | check engine light @ 4,000 rpms |
| Question: |
Well, I looked at the computer and it looks okay, is there a way to send you a picture of it..i would like to show you something to see if its bad or not? I ran into a huge problem, i cranked the engine and there was a bolt out and the timming belt jumped and i had to replace more crap on the head. but thats already done. it seems to run better now, but still cutting out at 4000 rpms..Im thinking about the fuel filter..i blow through it and it seemed ok but i dont know... it seems like its not getting enough fuel...is there something else i can check, if the replacement of the fuel filter doesn't work? im very confused on this engine...im not used to cars like this...i work more on chevys..lol |
| Answer: | Duane, If you have a web site that you can put that picture on, then I could take a look at it. I don't think the AllExpert has a way to upload pictures yet. The following site shows an example of an Eclipse ECU with damage: http://www.bossturbo.com/talon/howto/ecu/index.html If yours looks it may have evidence of scortches, burns, or corrosion, it may be at fault. Fuel filters are relatively cheap and should be replaced every 1-2 years
any. If when you removed the fuel filter, and fuel was still dripping
out of it, there is a small clog in it some where. Also, if you have any
sort of service manual, you should see a procedure on how to check your
fuel pump. You should also check your fuel pressure regulator to be sure
you fuel pressure is increasing as you RPMs imcrease. |
