I have a 97 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder and when I go to start the car in the mornig it starts fine, but lets say ill drive the car to the store then cut the car off then come ack out and try to start the car up and MOST of the time it will just sit there and crank like its not getting any gas, its gets even more worst if i pull up like at sonic and cut my car off an order my food then, then after about 10 or 15 minutes try to start it up it will sit there and crank and everyone jus looks at me its so embarrissing. So all in all the problem is from a cold start it starts fine but when driven then cut engine off then try to start back up, sits there and cranks, but when finally starts up black smoke comes out exhaust, and even sometimes when i finally get it to start you can put the pedal to the medal and it will go like 3mph then after a few seconds it will start running correctly but soon as you stop it might do it again.

Please any help would be appreciated I Will be a Senior in High School in about 2weeks and to have this happen in the school parking lot would be terrible.

Thanks Vic17

 

Hey man i hear ya. I just graduated and got a 95 eclipse rs (non turbo). It did the exact same thing. I racked my brain trying to fix it. I put new spark plugs in it and got a tune up. And the hesitation and all went away. Sometimes it does the no starting thing. I'm thinkin my battery's just old. It registers 12volts...but u never know. Anyways i'd change the spark plugs...check air filter ect. Then try it and c how that works for ya.
