Can someone help me figure out what noise this is?

No codes, and according to the guy the noise doesn’t change with RPMs. It’s above the intake so I hope it’s not cam/lifter tick. Rip engine if so.

Finally got my dream car back!

I had an 01 3G GT back when I was fresh out of highschool. And like a dumbass I sold it and have regretted it ever since. Then my spouse surprised me by saying he had been talking to someone and we were on our way to get this beauty! 03 GTS V6 with the 5 speed and only 150k miles. She needs a little TLC but honestly I'm willing to put in the work. I'm just glad I have my dream car again. 😭💗

Need your expertise guys

2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS manual. Lately its starting to buck when the throttle is depressed only once during my commute. Lately meaning it's been a hit or miss for a few mo tsh now. Usually it feels like a slight hiccup. Maintenance has always been done, timing, oil changes etc. It just hit 190k this week. I baby the car FYI. Today it bucked hard doing 70mph on the highway then proceeded to drive fine like normal. Got off the highway, and when I rolled to a stop it stalled. 1st time ever. Started right back up and continued on my way home. Ran an OBD scan. Nothing comes up. CEL light has not come on. I've only ran 93 octane in the car its whole life as I've owned it since 04 and since Sunoco started selling 94, thats all I've been putting into it. It stalled one more time on my way home and was fine after that. Commute is about 8 miles. Took a look under the hood and all looks fine.. Has anyone experienced something like this before? It idles around 750 normally in neutral and purrs, and can dip pretty low after running it on the highway for a sec while coming to a stop in neutral and usually recovers. Same when I run the ac at times. I've done some googling. Could be the ignition, MAF, throttlebody and IAC. Figured I'd also reach out to my Mitsubishi Eclipse reddit family and see if anyone might be able to help. Thanks in advance!

Crankshaft position sensor, crank pulley

Hello, I am currently trying to remove and change the crankshaft sensor. I tried the impact but the screw of the crank pulley doesn't want to move. I don't know what to do to remove it because it's really rusty. I have I got the code P0335. I checked to be sure that the current renders up to the sensor wire and that is the case. I don't know what to do to remove that damn crank pulley. I have a Mitsubishi eclipse 2003 gts Spyder. Does anyone have a solution?

And yes everything was done by yours truly, even earned a couple HOA complaints as trophys lmaoo

Anyone here ever done a FWD to RWD swap on a 2G? Thoughts?

Have a FWD RS that is deeply sentimental, but for several reasons, I really want an AWD or RWD setup. So getting a different car altogether is out of the question because I've wanted this exact car since I was a kid, but the motor I want to swap into it only comes as RWD. 🫠 Weighing my options between doing a subframe swap/fab or getting a specific bell housing adapter CNC'd/made for the engine. Both seem equally as expensive and painful from what Ive read, but I want it done, so 🤷‍♀️ thoughts? Tips? Advice? I know the biggest obstacle for the frame is going to the be gas tank location/move from what ive ready anyways. I'm starting to get to the point of gathering parts for it all and don't want to get halfway into doing it one way then read something to change my mind so im doing my due diligence beforehand 🤣

Timing belt/water pump change

Hey guys, I'm in the market to get my timing belt changed on my 2011 Spyder. From what I've searched up I should expect to pay about $600-$1000. Would you guys say that is about right? Is there anything in particular I should know going into this? Thanks for any feedback, it's much appreciated!

How much is a 4g actually worth

For context, i'm from southamerica, and really interested in getting an eclipse, however, i've only managed to find one (1) 1g, and three (3) 4g's, and they are obnoxiously expensive imo

97 ECLIPSE GST SPYDER

Posting in case anyone is interested you can say im smoking Crack or whatever but im asking 12K because I can firstly and secondly I am not in a rush so if you have mean comments then ); I am not opposed to reasonable offers but understand that finding a fully stock not abused GST (yes I am aware its a convertible) is getting a bit more difficult.

Car is stock, when I say stock i mean like the radio, exhaust, wheels no performance enhancers I would never give my car a blue chew to get it going. Things have been replaced such as the obvious like spark plugs, air filter, timing belt etc.

I am in San Diego area car starts up right away, AC works radio works. 77K original miles. Top goes down and up.

Need some advice

When I’m shifting into 3rd gear my Rpm are dropping I’m not sure if I’m not building enough speed before I switch to 3rd gear sometimes it shifts fine but most times it’s struggling. I did a boost leak test and didn’t have any leaks.

Anyone else encounter this issue !?
