The car worked wonderful the first two weeks I had it! Now, it will start just fine and will run while its cool but once it gets hot it dies. AND when coming to a stop and trying to go. The car is a 98 Eclipse GST Spyder. I have to keep reving it for anything to happen. There will be white smoke, then it will start running like normal.
I have took to Advance Auto and they hooked it up to the computer thing and they said the codes read for a FUEL CONTROL SWITCH and SOLENOID (in the tranny?). I read some things on the internet and someone mentioned their problems and they were identical to mine. An answer mentioned the THROTTLE BODY and when I took it off there was oil. What could this mean?
I NEED HELP!

This is the? Of all codes need a scan tool to check what the ecu doing lean or rich
As for checks that you can do
Check if have any exhaust leaks if so repair as needed
Check fuel pressure do an injector leak test (if possible)
Check MAF sensor and clean
