AboutLinda Expertise I have done a lot of work on older Mitsubishi's. Whatever has gone on with someone's car has I am sure happen to the one I work on. A lot of things, though might be the computer it could be a sensor too. Whatever I am not sure of, I will then hunt up the question useing the net. Don't know much about body work or painting a car.

Question i am trying to install a stereo to m 97' eclipse spyder. But i had a power wire connect for it ,but i ended up pulling it out and i don't know were to get the power for the stereo. I also have an upgraded air filter that's about 4.75 in big and i can't find one that big and it's hard to find performance parts for the car no one sell's them were i am around.
Answer Jacob: You could run a wire from the battery to the radio, just move it around inside the engine area, through the firewall, just have to look for places to do that and then to the radio, well you should try to get a power wire with a fuse in it so if to much power is pulled it will blow the fuse not the stereo. That is what my son did for a radio he put in when he could not find a long enough wire to get the stereo to work. So he got mad, and did the wire with the fuse from the battery to the stereo. You hook the wire to the + side on the battery. You should also try to order or go to a parts store to get yourself a repair manual for your car, they cost around $20.00 and well worth the money. It would show you places in the firewall to feed that wire though.Try to get a Haynes they are easier to understand, with less engines and years. As for the air filter, you will have to check on the net. I know there are all kinds of sites that sell high performace parts. Just put your car in, add performace parts and something should come up. You might have to work a bit but you will find such a site. I am overhauling a 90 F150 pickup and was looking for a camshaft. Just a Ford 1990 F150 and you should have seen the performace sites that kept coming up. So I am sure you can find something that way. I hope this helps some and God bless: Linda
