Hello, I just got a 92 Eclipse Turbo, tried to start it, and It will turn a 1/4 turn or so, then the starter quits. I tightend down the battery termnals, and still the same thing. I got the car dirt cheap becouse the guy tolde me it was the computer. I did not here any clicking from it, see any scars, or smell (well the car smells anyway, but not like fish), but i also dont hear the fule pump, and I put in a gallon of gas and the gauge did not move from empty. I looked at the cams, and they spin too. It my be the eginge is bad, but why would it turn? As manny times as i tried to start it it must have turned at least 2 revs.
The car did have a copuple injector, and the cam angle sensor wires dissconnected. I didnot see anything elce disconnected. Im farly shure it is the starter!? Would bad rings or somthing like that cause this problem??
I did smell gas in the oil... It is not the battery, It's a one year old optima redtop, and I put it back in my 95 and it fired right up.
thanks,
Jeff
