You will do just fine with either Tein S-techs or Eibach Prokit

Yesterday I was going to go pick up my cousin because his crx broke down. When I got to the first stop sign my car turned off, does anyone know why it did this? It doesn't turn off if I put it in neutral and rev the engine, I have to step on the gas to keep it from turning off.

How can check if the battery is going bad? My dad said I don't need a new one because it still turns, but idk if that's true. Okay now I'm going to sound like a noob, where is the iac so I can take it off and do I just spray carb cleaner into the tb or how would I clean it?

**badmitsu** · 09-07-2011, 05:10 PM

take the intake piping off at the tb and spray some cleaner on a rag and wipe the inside clean.

i had to use a hanger to reach all the way in.

Haha, I was searching around how to clean the tb but I couldn't find anything, and I remember somebody saying on a thread that you should remove the iac before cleaning it or you could damage it the iac. I think it stands for idle air control.

**badmitsu** · 09-07-2011, 05:43 PM

that could be, ive done it two or three times and ive never had any problems.

**Guzm4n** · 09-07-2011, 08:57 PM

Okay, so after cleaning my tb I drove around my neighborhood and decided to drive to my cousin's house since he lives near by. When I got on his driveway it turned off. After helping him with his car we decided to take the galant around the block. It didn't turn off and when we got back it almost did, but then it started to idle normal. We left it turned on for awhile and it seemed normal again.

**Da_Prodigy** · 09-07-2011, 10:16 PM

Did you disconnect your battery recently? If so everything reset it self and it should start idling normal again after like 100mi, mine did the same when I installed a new battery. Also check your battery with a digital multi meter if u have one or know how to use it, if not just take it so autozone and get it checked and ask for a print out of the battery specs they came out with, because some of the people will say you need a new battery when you really don't yet.

if you're just going to be wiping down the surfaces in the TB, I wouldn't worry about removing the IAC. Just try not to let debris/gunk fall into all the holes in the TB. If you're going to be actually spraying something into it, I would remove it.

I just wiped mine down from side to side and pull back out thinking that would be safer, and less chances of anything falling downward in the manifold. Also inspected to see if i see any loose debris sitting past the butterfly that could later get sucked in. Never had any issues with CEL or anything

How long would my stock struts and shocks last if I get some s techs made for the v6 eclipse?

Yesterday my mom didn't let me drive my car cause the snow, so she was going to take my sister to school in my car, and my dad's snow plow truck was parked really close to my car. When she backed up the snow plow made a dent and peeled some paint off my car. But they said when summer comes they are going to get all the dents on the car removed and get it repainted.
