Oh is it the alternator? Thanks for the correction. I didn't follow where they went.

Turns out that - while there were several wires hooked up to positive terminal - the two white wires that go to the main fuse box were not connected. D'ohThey were kind of hidden, tucked underneath the upper IC pipe. I only noticed when I was standing next to the battery location on the side...

"The ECU being bolted up doesn't matter.What have you verified up to this point? You've received a number of suggestions, what is still missing?"Yes, thank you for your suggestions. I figured it didn't need to be bolted up but wanted to know to eliminate the possibility.I have not...

I had one more idea -The ECU case on mine is metal. I know from experience with computers that being grounded might be necessary for it to work, but I didn't think of it at the time. I did not fasten the ECU to the car. I just plugged it in hanging there.Well, it's worth a shot but if anyone...

Thanks for the suggestions.Now I recall being able to leave the headlights on without even having the key in the car. So at least that eliminates the ignition switch as a culprit.It's well grounded. I recently had gone over it and installed the thickest wire I could find for ground to the...

I don't know where to start. I have about a couple of hours to work on the car before I have to give up and sell it.OK this electrical diagram will be really helpful.http://dsm-club.org/doc/pdf/2g/electrical/96_ELECTRICAL_WIRING.pdfI wonder if mice ate the ignition switch wires (where you...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1995-99-Mitsubishi-Eclipse-GST-M-T-Cabin-Wiring-Harness-W-Out-ABS-/132233728862Holy crap that's a lot of wiring I don't want to waste my time. Is there like a main wire I can try to fix? (I'm technically inclined - electronics and more).I turned the key and nothing...

I have to apologize because my question cannot possibly have a positive answer. But I really just need to know if the computer in a 1995 GST is required to be operational for the car to have any electrical power.I parked my car in my mom's parking lot for about 8 months with the battery...

So far it seems the main problem was the coil pack. The diagnostic was "cyl 2 injector circuit" and another code - I forget the name but basically, it reached the limit of how much extra fuel it could add. So I believe the failure of the coil pack caused fuel in cyl 2 not to ignite (no...

I drove it to the shop and had the timing and balance belts and all new pulleys and pulley bolts and timing tensioner done. The car still has some other issues, due to the original issue, but the belts are all fine. It's much quieter now, no more squeaking.I didn't get under the car, but from...

I had a flat, I put new rims/tires, new battery and changed the oil and it fired up without much trouble and I adjusted the idle and got my bi*** purring like new -- other than the harsh squeaking from the pulleys. I have a complete set of pulleys with new bolts and timing belt and balance belt...

I'm starting to second-guess myself. I did pull on the pulley and it didn't budge, will give it another shot later.I first thought the (non-existent) belt normally would stick up a bit higher than the edges of the pulley, but looking at the other belt, it's flush. The clearance is just...

http://imgur.com/wopyhmoMy car has not been right for about a year and it's been sitting.NOTE: Since labeling the image I'm wondering if the plastic-looking buildup might have just been debris (like rubber) from a prior worn belt.I still don't see how a belt could fit there, from another...

The problem was an injector after all. The code went away.I replaced the injectors with some I got on parts trader and it ran different, but poor.I checked the spark plugs and they were flooded. I did a compression test and it was all pretty well balanced.So I replaced the spark...

One thing that I just remembered, there was extremely hot weather when I dropped it off with the mechanic. I wonder if a capacitor failed in my ECU. I want to take it out tomorrow and see. Actually I was going to have it EPROM'd anywayEDIT: " you certainly have the art of speculation nailed...
