bobbyc Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 lookin for some imput...my sister has a 97 eclipse....2.0 NA....it recently quit on her...she said she was driving..and all of the sudden all the dash lights came on and the car just quit, there weren't any loud noises. there was oil on the road when it came to a stop...engine still turns over...but i can;t see the backside of the motor against the firewall. i didn't have any tools tonight when i saw it...but tomorrow i will check the little peep on the timing belt cover...you can't see the cams through the valve cover. i was just wondering if anyone with any experience with these cars would have any input...possibly an oil line in the back or something that came loose. i'm hopin theres not a rod pokin out the back...but she swears up and down that the radio was off and there was no noise. thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
