good day guys. i found a 1992 eclipse gs worth $500. i have not seen any pics yet so i have no idea how it looks like.
the good: he claims the engine runs good, it starts for the first time, cluch and tranny is good.
the problem: it does not go above 35mph and 3500rpm. he says that there are no check engine lights on.

so what could be the problem. i mean it couldnt possibly be a safety thing >.>; i really have no problem with it not going above 35mph because going to school i just use sidestreets and limit is 45. i want to know what is wrong and can it be driven even with this defect.

could be ecu, coil, coil wire, distributor cap, distributor rotor, plugs..... hard to say

Buy it and weld some side irons on to it and take it to he Demolition Durby You don't need to go more then 35mph hehe

well... it is a dsm... *thinking about running away* well... ill go take a look at it and drive it a little to get more info. ill go to a dsm site and see what they have to say too... thanks guys.

its the Throttle Positioning Sensor its bad thats it. My friend had the exact same car a while back and that was the problem the dealer had diagnosed it with even thought e CEl was not on.

its the Throttle Positioning Sensor, its bad, my friend had the same year model and the dealer had diagnosed it with thie problem even though the CEL light was not on.

okay. ill have a week to think about buying it. again i wont use it for a project car, just to bring me to school daily. 10 miles back and forth. ill go research the throttle positioning sensor. thanks again.
