im going to get an oil change soon and figure since im there.... ill have them look to see what can be done to help out my gas milage. so far i got new rotors and pads, oil changes every 3000, tranny drain less than 2000 miles ago, used some cleaners in the tank, new fuel filter and i think thats about it. Im thinking maybe an EGR clean? anything else that maybe help 2 more miles a gallon or so? also every morning when i go to the car.... start... nothing happens when the key is turned. no click... no start... nothing. i then re try and it starts fine.... any ideas? starting dying? if so... how much am i looking to bend over for? thanks guys and gals

ouch bro there goes your starter. unless the shop who installed your eclipse didnt fully tighten the battery

you mean the power to the battery? i doubt thats it since it only happens on the first start of the day. how much does a start in these thigns go for incase though? whats a good number to expect.

after reading some posts in the sticky thread about starters, i would have to say, its prolly the battery connection. i had a problem like 4 months ago where my car wouldnt start. it was because the ground to the battery was bad. maybe ill just take the connections off and get new ones or something of that sort and see if that solves the prob. only thing that makes me think its the starter is that i remote start on the cold days or hit the button to leave it running at times... when i gwet back in i grind it out (only like 5 times total in like 6 months) but yeah... BAD! i know
