no way to tell if there is a problem unless you do a compression test. if the engine was taken care of it should be fine. Eclipses have distributorless ignition, there is just a coil pack. why do you want a performance rotor.

Just thought with a performance Rotor, and Distributor it would help out, so nothing would cut out at higher RPM's The reason i asked the questions i did though is, that as much as i hate to say it, tuners, and or imports (((not sure what fits it better))) have always had my attention. Thats why im getting a 97 Gs-t and parting ways with my 1989 iroc-z camaro. To keep it simple Imports are more fun, sound better, run better, have better gas mileage, and will run circles around most muscle cars. I know that first hand. lol anyway any advice on what parts to add, and what to stay away from would be very nice, im just looking to build a nice Eclipse ive got a list that you saw above for the motor, but also one for the body, and interior. Also im justing wanting to get a car that isnt a money pit like the camaro was, bought it for 3k, and spent 6 to 7k fixing it up making it run right. and After looking around though the hondas, and nissians, etc, i decided that out of the lot of them the Mitsubishi was best, and i dont want to waste my money and built up my next car, and leave something important off, or get one part when something else is better. thanks again, and any advice would be very nice.

you dont really need a bigger ic until you upgrade the turbo and start upping the boost. you could get one, but its overkill
