Hey guys I'm VoDkA and I'm new to DSMs and all that. Just recently purchased a pretty little 98 eclipse from a friend and I've gotta say it's a pretty fun car.
She's just a mostly bone stock 420a that might have performance cams, an exhaust, nothing major. Was running great until I decided to take it out for a half hour burn down the highway and back and just before I got back into town, it started running rough, misfiring a few times, then when I popped it into neutral it shut off, never to be started again. Engine cranks it's heart out but refuses to start. Checked for spark, there was nothing. So obviously I know my problem is spark but I don't know much about these cars (yet) and I'm wondering what the most likely problem is. You guys know these cars better than I do so is it the coil pack? Is it the ignition rotor? What could it be? I had some new spark plugs for it waiting to be put in so I put them in and that of course did nothing. I didn't really expect it to help haha. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
