Your post is 5 months old, i bet by now you have taken it in and got it fixed or at least found out what the fault goes to.
so here is what you do the next time that light comes on ,even if it goes out the next time you drive. you have a code stored in your memory! go to an auto parts store like advanced auto or auto zone etc etc they will check your code for free.ask them for a print out of the code and they meaning .write it down if you have to ,sometimes there are more then one code.
then with that ,you can try to post and see if you get a faster response. example p0103 mass air flow low voltage. this is how todays industrey diagnoses your problem and goes right to the trouble part.happiness is no check engine light
SOURCE: My check engine light stays on.
You can take your car to Auto Zone and they will scan the codes for FREE. They will also let you know the part causing the problem. 99% of the time it's a sensor that you may be able to replace yourself if your handy with cars. Without the codes, it's random guessing to fix the problem.
SOURCE: i have a 1999 gs mitsubishi eclipse my check
It appears that there might be a TSB (technical service bulletin) issued on this vehicle by Mitsubishi. Check with your local dealer to verify for certain. One link with brief summary of this on a 1998 model (yours might fall into this class too?) can be seen here and is as follows:
1998 Mitsubishi ECLIPSE 98 - Transmission TCM PCM > POWER TRAIN : AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION : CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM) [Part 103100 ]
TSB No: 01 NHTSA ID: 622435 , May 01, 2001 : Replacement:
Summary: subject regarding diagnostic trouble code p1390 pcm relearn.
A fuller discussion on a 1996 with this code can be seen here. Scroll down to the answer.
Perhaps these will provide a bit of information prior to contacting your dealer. I've never worked in a dealership that charged for looking up & providing info on TSB's. Good luck.
