The two outside pistons do not fire on my 99 eclipse. it has the 2.0L non-turbo.

The head gasket needs to be replaced and has leaked water into the oil. would that cause what I am describing. I retraced all the wire, I changed the coil pack, I have heard the ecu could cause that. I appreciate the help

SOURCE: thermostat issues on 99 eclipse non turbo

Well the antifreeze has to go somewhere so its either going out onto the ground via hose or gasket, or it can get into you oil system via gasket or out the tailpipe via gasket. Since you said you cant smell it I would look for a puddle on the ground or in the oil. But since you said its knocking i would have to say head gasket is leaking antifreeze into the oil.... Pull out your engine oil dipstick and see if its white/foamy, if it is its the headgasket/head issue.

I have a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse Gs non turbo that has a water outlet that has been pitted and needs replacing. I cannot find the outlet for the non-turbo. Any suggestions?

Your problem is most likely because you are describing your vehicle as a "Gs". The only similar listings in the catalog are for a "GSX". (The parts counter person probably has no clue that there is a difference) The GSX is only built in a turbo version, therefore you will not find a water outlet for the non-turbo version...it simply does not exist.

Now, if you simply describe it as an Eclipse, there are water outlets listed for the turbo 2.0L, the non-turbo 2.0L and the non-turbo 2.4L engines. You did not bother to mention engine size, so I will list the part numbers for BOTH of the non-turbo engines.

For the 2.4L engine: Compressor Works Part Number 815517

For the 2.0L engine: Compressor Works Part Number 815576

Both are available from AutoZone

yeah, its your head gasket. the oil looks like that because it has coolant mixed in with it. it will try to start because its getting fuel and spark but no/not enough compression.

1997 Eclpise Turbo Smoking

its sounds like a leaking head gasket. check the coolant to see if there is any oil in it or if the coolant is low. if its loosing coolant with no visible leaks, its probably leaking into the cylinders. best thing to do is check the compression. its should be around 170 psi with no more than a 14psi difference between cylinders.
