I have a 1993 eclipse that when the engine check light comes on after the car warms up I will loos power above 2000 rpms.

When I back off of the accelerator and the rpms drop down under 2000 rpms the engine runs fine.

No problems starting and it runs fine until the engine check light comes on.

Thank you very much for your time

Need to have it scanned for the code/codes in the ECM. The computer has a problem, that is the reason for the light, which should point us in the right direction
