No spark and starter problem..please help!!!

[Stangmurdera]

I currently put an engine in my 90 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST and am having major problems. I started it for the first time this past weekend and I had no problems. I was getting spark and the engine sounded good except for an oil leak from the banjo bolt holding the turbo feed line. I fixed this issue and put some of the car back together and now I can't even get the car to spark. On top of no spark, the starter runs as soon as I turn the ignition on and will not stop even when I remove the key. The starter turns over for about 10 seconds and then stops by itself. I had none of these problems when I started it this weekend. The only thing I have done since then was remove the canister and some of the vacuum lines that I don't need. I printed a diagram of the needed vacuum lines from a dsmtuners thread. Are the starter and no spark issues related? What should I check for? Please offer any advice to help me get this car running finally. Does anybody have a wiring schematic that could help me?

First, if you don't have a repair manual, like a Haynes Repair Manuals, I would get one. It has many of the wiring diagrams you need. It is possible that the two problems are connected. There is a few things I would check. Make sure you crank position sensor is working correctly. Next I would check to see if you are getting a signal to the coil packs from the ignition control module. If you get a signal to the coil pack, start checking grounds, all of them. If there is not signal to the coil packs, check if you have signal to the ignition control module. Also check the starter cylinoid to see if it is working right. It could also just be a relay or fuse, so check all of them too. It might also be a broken or shorted wire in your wire loam. Hopefully it will be one of those. Good luck.

I do have a Chilton's but I'm not good at reading those schematics. They seem so difficult. I need a wiring diagram for dummies. How do I check my crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor? Also, I checked to see if my coil was getting a signal from the ignition and one prong does get a signal. Should there be a constant and an accessory? I changed out the starter with another one I had and the starter did the same thing. How do I know where all my grounds are? I have done lots of work but I am not good at electric problems yet.

Okay I'll try to get you some "wirring diagrams for dummies".
do you have the 2.4l engine?

Those diagrams look great and would work great if I can get them for my car. My car has the 2.0 4G63 Turbo engine.
