Check engine light?

Thanks for the reply. The problem has been solved.

How do you reset the check engine light

We fixed the problem. We need the drive cycles.

Engine Performance problem
1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual

my check engine light is flashing and the car seems to not be getting enough gas to it sometimes, but the check engine light will flash 3, 6, and 9 times. Can u tell me what that means, please?

Engine problem
1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse 4 cyl Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 100000 miles

we fixed the problem, and tried disconnecting the battery. Now we need to know the drive cycles to make it reset.

I have a 97 eclipse spyder gst. The issue im having is that when I give my car gas it feels as though im not getting any power, like its not getting enough gas. Ive already change the fuel injector regulator, which fixed the problem for two weeks. I started my car yesterday and it started doing the same thing out of the blue. Ive checked the spark plugs and wires, they are good. When I hooked it up to the computer it said something is wrong with cylinder 3. I was told that I should replace the ignition coil pack to see if that would help. The check engine light is on. I was also told that an o2 sensor is out. Im just curious if that would cause this problem or if there is something else I could be checking.

Recently purchased used. In order to pass inspeciton catalytic converter needed to be added, along with other minor repairs.

PROBLEM: Runs intermittently rough (stutters) Check Engine light comes on when car stutters.
And goes off when running ok.
Local mechanic has worked on it and cannot diagnose exact problem, but believes it to be either fuel or electrical problem and said it will either need to get worse, or be consistant to figure out cause. Or he suggested that I take it to dealer for computer diagnostics. To pinpoint problem before it gets worse.
I don't want to put a lot more money into car--if problem is not costly to repair, I will fix, otherwise, I am inclined to get rid of car before it starts bleeding my pocketbook.
I welcome any suggestions or ideas.
I mention the catalytic converter because Car Talk said after market catalytic converters do not always work well. That is the only clue I have to go on.
Thank you.

Intermittant problems are very hard to figure out -- let's just go ahead and say say they really can't be solved. Except it would be good to know what the codes were.
You have a fairly old car and if you got it for a good price and the motor is running strong and otherwise in good shape and the transmission and body are OK -- I wouldn't get too discouraged.

An old motor might have just anything wrong with it, and some of it could be inexpensive to fix. If your mechanic is treating you right otherwise, I'd take his advice and hang in there.

I have a 96 eclipse and I just gave it a tune up and after driving it for a day the check engine light came on, the car has not been driven in about a year, and I changed everything in it, gave it new liquids and spark plugs. So what could it mean, what should I check or do?

I've been around the block with Mitsu failures so if it happened to your car you can bet it's happened to mine. I got my little baby in poor condition, so it's no wonder. Anyway, my car had this problem too. Turned out the fuse for the check engine light was bad. I hear its a common problem with the 1997 Eclipse. Good luck locating it. :)

2 weeks ago I was driving my car when it started hesitating whenever I would rev it up to around 4-5 rpm it would hesitate bad I changed the oil and spark plugs, nothing happened took it to auto zone and they told me misfire on my 4th cyl I bought the spark plug wires engine light came off but the car was still hesitating a little and was a little shaky and today the check engine light came back on I bought the lucas fuel injection cleaner but I have to wait till I have 1/4 tank and fill it up with the lucas, was also thinking in replacing the fuel filter any other ideas on what it can be? Please

I have eclipse 1996 I bought it last month and after 3 days from buying the car the check engine light came on, and yesterday I got a strong shaking in my car, and the engines sound is little loud its came with the shaking at the same time, but its not too loud you cant telll unless u drive it over 40 mil then the sound and the shaking will begin, thank I for your time.
