2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT 125k
Problem: Idles low and dies only after heated up and only when I apply the brakes, misses on occasion throughout once in this state. When it dies it will not start back up until it has cooled off. Also the check engine light has come on but there is no readout when taken in to get diagnosed, three times now. Does not run hot.
Solutions I have tried: Replaced distributor cap and rotor. Replaced spark plugs and correctly spaced. Checked air filter (clean). Visually checked hoses, I do not have any test equipment. Added a cleaner to tank. Disconnected IAC and checked for cleanliness as well as running without it connected. Checked fuses. Topped off antifreeze.
I am not that knowledgeable when it comes to cars but learning comes easily and would like to fix this myself.
