recently my friend bought a 1993 mitsubishi ecliple 5 speed non-turbo. It had been sitting for roughly 10 years, but only had 50000 miles, and the price was right. Anyways, we drained out the old gas and put in some new gas. With this gas we put in fuel injector cleaner, and fuel system conditioner. The car started, and had a hard time idling, but eventually after being run enough would idle and rev. We took the car out for a ride, and upon reaching a hill and flooring the car, the engine would lunge on and off, enough the chirp the tires ever half second or so every pulse. It seemed to me that the car was still not getting enough fuel, or something was wrong with the computer. The car's gauges showed no errors or check engine lights. We then installed new plugs, plug wires, and a new fuel filter. doing this the car ran better, but still would lunge while accelerating. I was thinking of maybe of replacing the oxygen sensor, and removing the injectors and thouroughly cleaning them. I have no idea where else to look after this. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
