The ECU had to be fixed and new capacitors were put in, it's a general Mitsubishi recall and I took it to a dealer and had no problems with it whatsoever.
This is a fun sporty little car, the only thing I regret about it, is not getting a nicer and faster model. The SOHC vs. the DOHC is a joke because there is a huge difference between the two in performance and options.
I have both a 91 eclipse sohc and a 93 eclipse gs dohc and you are definitely right about the differences between the two, the dohc is so much quicker and much better options.
