I have used this book to replace a thermostat, spark plugs, wires, and a PVC.

It has great directions, (don't expect the pictures to be a lot of help on 90% of the projects you have to do).

My only real complaints about this book are:
1. They do not always show the Mitsu Eclipse pictures, sometimes it's from the Talon, the 2.4L Eclipse, the 6v eclipse, etc.

2. They have directions like "remove coil over cables" and there are no directions on how to do this. (It's not rocket science but if you are buying this on how to properly remove and put back together important parts of your car, this can be a little annoying).

Overall, good for the do it yourselfer, otherwise, just bring your car to a mechanic.

Like most auto repair manuals not published by the manufacturer, this manual leaves out a lot of information necessary to quickly repair problems. For instance, the electrical diagrams have wiring color codes, connector pin-outs, etc., but there are no diagrams to help locate any of the components. The manual devotes about half of its pages to topics the average user will already know, such as standard maintenance instructions, but fails to provide anything vehicle specific. The detailed engine rebuild procedures are useful if you need them, but given the longevity of modern automotive engines this data could probably have been better published elsewhere and replaced in this manual with more information on common failures. If you are looking for information that will help you repair the most frequently occuring problems, this is better than nothing but much less helpful than it could have been.

oemdsmparts_com says that this book is a must have because maintaining the eclipse engine can be intimidating if you dont have some type of manual to refer to. As you know all cars are different and the mitsubishi eclipse has its share of problems. The book comes in to aid the encountered problems. If you read the book closely the book is self-explanatory, The book does cover 4 types of engines that are found in the eclipses. make sure that you know what engine is in your car and the book will be good.

Good book to get the wiring diagrams, information, and other needfull things for the eclipse.
