I have a 1992 eclipse gs. I just bought a new performance air filter. I am having problems putting it on. I but it on, but need to know more. Is it important to have the air flow senser on. If not how to take it off and make it run good. Do i have to have it in the box. If any of you guys have done this can you tell me how. Thanks

Return that air filter!
Buy a K&N drop in filter, and cut off the factory air box, leaving just ehough so there is a ring and one bolt to tighten down. This is DSM 101:)

thnaks for the compliments:)
As far as oil burning to fast? I have heard of burning oil too much. What color is it? Black, grey, blue? The color of it can tell you what problem it is.
