first of all, my water pump is leaking, and my clutch makes a constant sqeeky noise when it isn't pushed in, and my idle jumps, and it feels as though its going to stall while sitting a light, and it is really really jumpy under acceleration, and doesn't go very fast right now at all!

and i have already replaced the plugs and wires, clutch, and some misc. rods...

and the damn thing will not work correctly for more than a month or month and a half.

i am really sick of this stupid shit! a car should ont have as many problems as this, i got a friend that has a 97 grand prix gtp, and his always runs find, and never acts like mine does.
so now its sitting on my drive way waiting for me to take it in, but now i think i crossed to plug wires and it's not driveable all the way to the dealer.

can anyone tell me where each wires goes, like for example, where the longest(farthest plug on the passenger side of car)wire goes on the distributor, like the longest one goes on the (for example,) 2nd plug on the distributor from the passenger side.

thanks for your help on this, kind stupid, but o well.

after i get my car fixed, it betting f*cking work great for a long-ass time!!!! or im blowing it up!

When was the last time you did a tune up to your car? How many miles does it have? Your throtle body plate might be dirty with deposits just get some carburator cleaner and spray it clean. If you haven't driven it since the new wires and plugs, i'm sure it might of helped. And your water pump should be changed everytime your timming belt is. Those things don't last forever. On my car the wires line up with the coil pack. From the left, the first coil plug goes to the first spark, second plug to the second spark plug and so on. Good luck.

Mine does the same thing and no one can figure out what it is. Not sure if the input shaft is wobbling around or what... no clue. Curious because I thought I was the only person hearing this sound. How does the car shift?

DOOD, your not the only one with the clutch noise problem!!
and for real, i think i want an american car over my eclipse, i never thought i would ever say that, but after all the problems with my 96 gst, i am sick of it!! maybe if after i get my car fixed, and the damn thing works fine for more than a few months, like doesnt need anything fixed till like a year from now, i might think about keeping. I am about spend more money fixing it, then i paid for the car.

i cant wait till its fixed though, i forgot how fast my car is, and im wanting to order 1g BOV and upper and lower ic pipes. i just first got the get the spark plug wires un-crossed so the car running enough to drive it to somewhere to get it fixed, bc right now, it dont run enough to move it down the driveway and back up the other side, yeah, i made it only half way up my driveway the other day!
