well the light has come on and off a couple of times and so we read it. It said large evap leak. Then they checked it and said it wasnt. They concluded that it was just my gas cap wasnt tight...maybe. They were inclusive

so... after they tightened it did it make the noise anymore? sounds like a vac leak to me but it's wierd that you only hear it between 3rd and 4th. i'm going to move this to our 3rd Generation Eclipse section.

Thank you. I say its between 3rd and 4th. Like when i pull off in a hurry or something or try to pass a car , if I hit the gas to get up and go it begins to speed up but then flattems out b/c its begins to take in air. I hope im making sense. [/align]
