Edit: Like I stated in the PM I sent you, I am really more of a Stealth/3000gt man.

Good call stealth I didn't even catch that he said the TB was cracked. (Sorry been running on E lately). In light of that evidence I'd say that would be the problem. And as for you bein a 3000GT/stealth man the same basics for the engine still apply. It's the specific nuances that you'll nnot know about. And it's the smal nuances of the 3000GT/stealth that you WILL know. Thus the reason I check all the boards and I put my 2 cents on the Galant and teh Eclipse board (I just don't feel like adding in the 3000GT, outlander, EVO, Lancer areas cuz I don't have ALOT of experience there) Remember reading my posts and what I know of the eclipse is mostly research and reading the forums. I have never driven my Eclipse and regularly drive a Sentra.

That can cause hesitation as you are letting unmetered air into the engine. The ECU cannot compensate for this extra air causing your a/f ratio to lean out.

I told him the same thing LOL, speaking from experience too. I say 1) get a new intake and then a tune up you should be good to go from there
