I have an intake, gauge pod with voltage and a/f for now. (got a good deal on the pod so I figured I might as well put gauges in it till I get my turbo and can really use it.) I also have a kick ass stereo.  Other than that I am bone stock for now... oh no wait I did get new gauge faces for my factory gauges, and umm an alarm hehe...

Turbo soon...
Ordering Dimpled and slotted rotors and new pads soon, as in an hour or so.

hehe we are gonna get in trouble for talking up our eclipses on the ASOG board.  Grin

Byron is still around.  I was gonna go hang out with him last night but I was too tired after the night before and work.  He has my Venge now so I know where to go if I want to see it.  I agree the ASOG boards are much friendlier than the Eclipse Boards.  It seems like if you don't have GS-T or GS-X nobody wants to give you the time of day.  Even on 2gnt they don't seem as cool as the ASOG group.  That and I don't like their message board program.  Anyway, yeah some of us should get together sometime.  Good luck getting Byron to do it though, he doesn't like people hehe.  Grin

Just kidding Byron

Also I am sorry I didn't find this sooner but TSB's are something I can only take in small doses.  I printed it out if you want to get a copy to take to the dealership and ask them why they didn't try it.

anyway, back to work or whatever it is I call what I do here.

Ok, I think I found something here. I was browsing through the TSB's again and found this one

<copied section>
NOTE: This bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with a 2.0L DOHC (non turbo) engine built prior to February 15, 1996 MDH (02-15-XX). 


SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Idle speed flares/undershoots/instability/roughness/stall during warm up.
RPM undershoot after declutch (MTX).
A/C engagement RPM flare or surge while rolling at low speed or stopped with light brake application. Vehicle bobble (MTX).
False Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) illumination with Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) "DOWNSTREAM 02 SENSOR STAYS AT CENTER", "EGR SYSTEM FAILURE", "CYLINDER XX MIS-FIRE".
<end copied section>


They got my cylinder #4 misfire to go away, and my oxygen heater sensor to come back, but I still have 4/8 monitors failing as follows:


catalyst monitor   (buy new cat?)
EV evaporative system monitor (?)
oxygen sensor monitor (new rear o2 sensor? i already replaced front)
E  Exhaust Gas Recirculation monitor (clean or new egr valve?)


Plus you said that the misfire is back even after the injector.

And here is the solution.

<copied section>
REPAIR PROCEDURE
This repair involves selectively erasing and reprogramming the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with new software (calibration changes) for all conditions listed.

FLASH PROGRAMMING (ALL SYMPTOMS)
Connect the MDS (Mopar Diagnostic System) and DRB III (Scan Tool) to the vehicle and power them up.
Use the arrow keys and select #2 MDS DIAGNOSTICS on the DRB III MAIN MENU Screen.
Use the arrow keys and select DIAGNOSTIC MENU on the MDS, then press NEXT MENU.
Use the arrow keys and select CONTROLLER PROGRAMMING on the MDS, then press NEXT MENU.
Use the arrow keys and select PROGRAM VEHICLE CONTROLLER on the MDS, then press NEXT MENU.
Follow the steps presented on the MDS and DRB III which will allow the DRB III to obtain the current part number of the PCM.
The MDS will display the part number of the PCM on the vehicle and the appropriate replacement part number, then press NEXT MENU to begin programming.
If the PCM on the vehicle has already been updated or programmed, a NO UPDATES AVAILABLE message will be displayed. Check the part number of the PCM on the vehicle and compare it to the part number displayed. If the PCM has already been updated, then another condition exists that will require further diagnosis and repair.

The MDS and DRB III will prompt for any operator action needed during the remainder of the programming process.
NOTE: The following steps are required by law. 


Type the necessary information on the "Authorized Software Update Label" P/N 4669020 shown in Fig. 1 . Attach the label to the PCM and cover the label with the clear plastic overlay.
Type the necessary information on the "Authorized Modification Label" shown in Fig. 2 , and attach the label near the VECI Label.
<end copied section>

hopefully that will solve the problem and not the entire ECU.  Even if you get the new ECU you will have to take it to Dodge and get it flashed with the software.

Grr DarkTengu Stop posting before me.  Every time I go to post today it says you posted before me hehe.

I agree, I think that is what you are down to. 

If you come see me tomorrow at work I can get the OEM number off of it and see if I can get you a good deal on one so you don't have to do the dealer or wrecking yard option.  I am at the new NAPA on McLoughlin across from Burger King, next to El Tapatio.

I will be here tomorrow 8-5 and Sunday 9-5 and tonight till 7.  Oh yeah, my real name is Richard.

I work for NAPA Auto Parts, A subsidiary of Genuine Parts Company (meaning that I work for the corperatly owned stores not just a Ma and Pa NAPA) I am an Assistant Store Manager (whoopie I am an Ass Man).  We just opened a new store that I am in now so it is pretty boring, not much business yet so I get to fix my boss's computer, do fun computer stuff and car stereo stuff and whatever my boss wants me to do that isn't related to helping customers.  That is good cause I am not a retail oreinted person, the last store I was at I ran the wholesale counter so I knew all the customers really well, it was like talking to my friends on the phone all day.  Fortunatly I can bring my laptop to work and I have bypassed our firewall and can log online and post on ASOG, check my e-mail... whatever.

I would like to transfer to our Computer Support division though and just go around fixed all the stores computers, help setup new stores etc. etc.  Mostly cause I am tired of helping customers.  Anyway... if you need parts let me know I can help you out.  The NW people used to refer to me as the ASOG parts b!tch.  Grin

Welcome to the Eclipse Dark side Travis.  I have a 99 GS now, but plans for the turbo are in the works, I am starting to collect parts and soon I will order the kit from Hahn.  Muahahaha!  Still miss my Venge though.  Oh well, I shall see her Saturday.

You have no idea.  I was sooo freaked out by that.  I was sooo happy when the shop called me and told me that everything was good and nothing was bent.  They told me what happened is when the idlers grenaded (yes as in went plooey all over the place, I still have the parts to them) that the belt probably skipped and the computer shut everything down and since I put it neutral instantly pistons and valves didn't give each other high fives.

I don't think that I have ever been so lucky and I tell you, whenever I get a t-belt replaced, EVERYTHING gets replaced.

anyway back to the topic at hand...

Wow! I have an all new respect for you.  I could never do that. I would snap as I also share your hatred for people.  It sucks that I have to be in a customer service oriented job.

When I lost my timing components at 70mph  Angry   (not a good scenario there) the shop that put my stuff back together had it off half a tooth and it seemed to have plenty of power but idled really really wierd.  Kinda made it sound like it had an RV cam or something.  Anyway, it is possible to have it skip a tooth or be off a bit if it isn't put together just right.


For the record, when you have your timing belt done, replace everything.  My idler pulleys for the timing belt froze up and grenaded, taking out everything related to timing components on my Venge.  Fortunatly I felt it lurch and popped it out of gear and coasted and didn't bend any valves.
