i have a 1991 Eclipse GSX and i cant get the damn thing to turn over. im getting fuel and everything and i dont know why it wont turn over... maybe no spark or something, i dont know...any idea on what i can check over to get this car runnin. please help!!!!!!!!!!
 
simple way to check for spark is take the spark plug wire off put a screw driver inside of it and then make sure you put it close to the good ground [ex. valve cover]. Let somebody crank the car if you see sparking arching you have spark.
 
I would add to the possible cas that perhaps you may be the lucky recipient of leaking Rubicon capacitors which sometimes kill the computer. Cam angle sensors are relatively cheap and I highly recommend one in your tool box. Finding one at the dealer will cause you to puke. Price wise that is. Good Job Karma.
 
Quoted 790$ canadian at the dealership, that is cost too!
When installing it, make sure you put the dot in the same spot it was in.

Good luck
 
Where can you buy a Cam Angle Sensor from? (besides a dealership) Does Mach V or a similar place sell them?
