Even the Evo has quite a few odd problems. But any performance car requires more in maintenence to run properly, no matter what the make is.

Things to Check:
Dist cap, Rotor (if you have one)
Plug Wires
Plugs gapped correctly?
Also....maybe a compression check?

Shit, my '67 including the money I've sunk into this 383 will still have cost less than an '06 Eclipse and will sell for more money than I put into both the car and the engine! Oh, and I'll be running 505hp/490tq as soon as I drop it in. I'm running 300hp/330tq right now btw, at probably half of what an Eclipse costs. Did I also mention my car looks bad ass and gets way more attention than a stock Eclipse?
