Hey Guys,
Im a new DSM owner who took ownership of a neglected Eclipse from my roommates ex wife. Its a 97 Eclipse Spyder GS-T and it has some issues, but Id like to get some feedback on what I should do next for repairs. I took the car to get it e-tested expecting it to fail (wanted to see how badly) and it did. The car was throwing the code P0340, so I reset it before the test.

Since failing the test, I replaced the cam sensor, and will have to replace the BOV, because it is broken where the vacuum line goes into it. It was jb welded by someone, but im going to replace it just the same.

How are the boost leak tests done on dsm cars? On my SRT-4, I would attach a fitting on my Turbo and use my compressor to reach 20 pounds of pressure. Is that the same method for dsm cars?

The plugs, wires, coil pack, and oil were changed prior to the e-test. The car is no longer throwing codes since replacing the cam sensor.



Thanks for your help
Ed
