PLEASE READ AND HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!
:/

I know it looks long but just read it and Help me!!!

Okay you guys...
I bought an eclipse like 2 weeks ago, and its giving me this little problem...
Im no mechanic, but i do catch along VERY quickly...

Okay so I bought the eclipse i changed the oil, and it was BLACKKKKKKKK,
I was like DAMN!!!! OKay so i put in some castrol 20W 50 because the car has like 140,00 miles

Now that i downloaded the manual it says to put in 5W30 or 10W 30
Idk if that affects it but i mean it shouldn't THE ENGINE IS STRONG! and WELL it should Plow right through the oil...

So anyways, i changed the oil and oil filter, then I Changed the Fuel filter... I mean it was eating gas like crazy so i thought i should...

BUT HEY, PRIOR to this THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT IT!
I Had to change the Master Cylinder, because The clutch was all LOOSE and i couldnt shift gears, all i could do was start it. I noticed it had NOOOO Clutch fluid and i was like WHAT!!! I had driven it about 80 Miles with LITTLE to NO fluid but I fixed the problem and Bled the car,

anyways the car started and shifted gears Great...
So i was all happy, Considering this is my first car....

IT stopped making a loud rattling noise when i fixed it...

Okay so i have been driving it for about a week and now the car begins to turn off on me and the revs go a little crazy like when i look the revs drop like 500 RPMS and then Shoot back up....
It jerks and it kind of scares me when im driving!!!!


So when im rolling to a stop in NEUTRAL, the car turns off on me!!!
:(
I changed spark plugs and the wires LOOK NEW SO i stayed with those...
I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS!!!!!

So i i saw the grounding cable for the battery was PEALED REAL BAD so i fixed it but it gets a little loose after i tighten it every time...

So i check frequently..

...

But it still jerks when im driving and it stops when i stop accelerating but when i accelerate it continuous and its throughout EVERY GEAR!

I turn it off i begin slow and all seems great but when the car begins to drive for like 5 mins THAT HAPPENS!!!!

It turns off on me thats scary!
So help please..


I dont know what it is!!!
This is my first car and i dont want it to be a nightmare!

And yes i have read all the comments on mitsubishis, but all i need is help..

I bought the car for 1200 and it drove greattttttt until i parked it at my house...
:/

I hope it has nothing to do with the transmission,
the last thing i want to do is ad a new clutch kit or a tranny rebuild :(


GIVE CERTAIN ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!!!!!!
