Could be a variety of things. Is the Check Engine Light on, and are there any ECU codes being output? Your fuel-air mixture is way off. Possibilities: 1. leaking injector is dribbling fuel all the time. 2. Dirty air cleaner. 3. Timing is off. 4. O2 sensor slow or failed 5. clogged Catalytic converter. 6. coolant temp sensor disconnected or failed. This signals the ECU to adjust the timing and mixture. 7. partial ECU failure (always in open-loop mode) 8. Assuming an automatic, is it changing gear correctly? eg to 4th OD, not stuck in 2nd gear Limp mode. You could try a) disconnecting the battery for 30 seconds to reset the ECU b) look for any vacuum hose air leaks (unlikely, this usually causes the car to run lean and hot) c) put some injector cleaner in the gas d) take it to the dealer for a tune up. Is it still under warranty? -- regards Stewart DIBBS www.pixcl.com/lancerproject >> Stay informed about: 2006 Eclipse Lousy Mileage

Maybe I'm stupid but I think a turbo charged 4 cylinder is the perfect balance for economy and performance. I have a '94 Eclipse 2.0L turbo that puts out about 250HP in a 2800 lbs car and gets me 30MPG per tank, even though I punch it often. The V6 is nice for its low end torque, but once 1st gear is done my MT FWD Eclipse 2.0L turbo reigns. -- Gyz If a man is speaking in the middle of the forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong? >> Stay informed about: 2006 Eclipse Lousy Mileage

I am converting a 97 gst spyder to AWD, hope to squeeze about 350 hp out that little four banger. I was at about 270 hp before starting my modification and I still got about 28 mpg - I drive it hard! I would like to see anyone come up with another way of getting an AWD, 350 HP convertible for under $10K! >> Stay informed about: 2006 Eclipse Lousy Mileage
