Can anyone help me. My 96 eclipse will sometimes die for no reason when I come up to a stop sign or light. I've had it into the mitsubishi dealer on 3 seperate times, they seem stumped!

Could be a problem with the idle air control motor/throttle position sensor and EGR valve-

Hi pattrucker,

Did the dealer do a scan on the vehicle?

Apart from what rasmataz has mentioned, there is the MAP and speed sensor to check.
