The high-performance, precision-handling Mitsubishi Eclipse sport coupe may seem to have more in common with a racing machine than a street machine. With all-wheel drive and its optional turbo-charged engine, it may feel more like flying than driving. The hard fact is that an easily replaced part that costs under $25 can quickly bring you back to earth, however.

When the air filter is not changed, your "road eagle" can turn into a "street turkey." The Mitsubishi Eclipse Air Filter is an important part of the fuel system, and can have a great effect on performance and fuel efficiency. Without an air filter, your engine would soon become clogged with dirt, dust, sand and grit that would score cylinder walls and ultimately block fuel delivery.

A dirty air filter may continue to protect the Mitsubishi Eclipse engine, but it will literally "choke" it, causing the fuel-air mixture to become too "rich" - containing too much fuel and not enough air. The engine will idle too fast and waste fuel. Eventually, excess carbon may built up on the valves, interfering with their proper operation and leading to other problems. A new Mitsubishi Eclipse Air Filter should be changed as part of every lube job and tune up.
