I had sparks coming from the coil pack itself and my car missed and cut out. I had to replace the coil pack. I am wondering if your problem is actually the coil pack itself. I got a secondhand one which is faulty as well but anyway I hope this is some help.

Also I took it to an auto electrician who put insulating tape around the area that was sparking to insulate it but this is only temporary repair.

there is a wire that is broken within the wire harness. I had to run a switch from my battery to a switch inside the car. For some reason the coil stay hot (charged). Find the broken wire from the coil pack back to the battery. Agout six wires I think, Check the coil pack, PLUG, it is made of plastic and some times wires work loose. Good luck, K

1993 3000gt. car started when cold, ran 15 min. at idle and just shut off. Have plenty of fuel pressure, but no spark. It did the same thing last night. It started ran a few minutes, sputtered and shut off. Have checked all fuses and relays.

It seems that if it was the crank or cam sensors, it wouldn't start at all. any suggestions

thanks

to check if getting spark simply hold one of the plug wires when you try to start it, u can use some thing metal to stick in there to arc it off your exhaust if your a panzy bout it. If it doesnt shock you or arc off your exhaust u gettin no spark

my guess would be the crank sensor then cam then ptu! then coil pack but test the harness first and so on! then look into the ECU! Having same problem 93 3000gt! hope i dont have a electrical never ending problem to solve! willknow soon!

i have a 1999 eclipse non turbo and im not getting any spark or fuel. I changed the cam sensor crank sensor coil pack spark plugs and wires fuel pump and then i got an ecu from the junk yard but it was a 1997 ecu i hooked it up and it ran perfect for a day then next day went to start it and nothing no spark or fuel. so i did research and found out that in a 1999 eclipse you can only use a 1999 eclipse ecu in that year car so i went on ebay and bought a 1999 ecu made just for my car so i hooked it up and i heard the fuel pump kick on but still no spark by the end of that same day of trying to figure out why it wasnt getting spark the fuel pump no longer was kicking on. i think my car is burning up the ecu. its not out of time i already checked that also. if anyone has any suggestions please please help!!!

i currently own a 03 eclipse gs, and my problem is, when i start my car, the rpms would drop under 400 then dies, and the only way i could keep it running, is if i apply a little gas, what could be my problem?

I have a 1993 Mitsubishi 3000 GT SL package. It does not have spark on three and six. Sometimes it will start and run perfect for about a minute or two of them starts missing and shuts off.

Here's the bad news, I have replaced the crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor, the coil pack, the power module underneath the coil, the cam belt, 2 idler pulleys on the cam belt, the ECU unit underneath the dash.I forgot. I also replaced the fuel filter, and the thermostat and the spark plugs. Then I gave up and I took it to a repair shop for six months. When I picked it up, it still did not have spark on three and six. I had a tow truck, take it to the repair shop and I had it towed home from the repair shop.

The good news was, he replaced all the spark plug wires, and put new spark plugs in. I am pretty lucky he didn't put new tires on it.

Anyone has a solution I would really appreciate some help. Thank you very much, Jim

the eclipse is a tough little machine when it is running but the blocks and the wiring on these cars are OUT-RAGEOUS!

if u don't have spark check the coil. but engine can still run with only one coil. also if your coil burns often check your alternator voltage... also try to check for error on computer you may get a random misfire code. i also were told that the map sensor could be bad too... im just trying to help because i own a 01 mitsubishi galant and have the same problem

guys, i had the same problem as most of you.. after checking coil and everything leading to it, i discovered the Crank sensor was malfunctioning.. this sensor is just above the OIL FILTER on the 420a engine.. if this sensor is not operating, the ECU will not be able to tell when to trigger the coil.

cheers and good luck. .if you need help, email me.

I have a 1998 eclipse, my neices, she had the check engine light come on and was told the map sensor could be going or some exhause sensor(she lost the printout) and she went to her BF house and it just died on her, I looked at it and it is cranking but no spark and it is getting plenty of fuel, not to sure of the exact pressure but it is alot, any Ideas? would the map sensor cause it not to get spark? or what is the exhaust sensor?
