Hey all, Im having a problem with my 98 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS 2.0 420A.
I had swapped the old motor out because it had a hole in the block. The engine I had put in came from a vehicle with an automatic transmission. It was verified that it ran before it was pulled. I am using my original wire harness to from my vehicle with a 5speed transmission.
I have ran a OBD-2 Scanner and have gotten no codes. I have used noid lights at the injector senors and i do not get any light what so ever. No pulse when cranking. No light at all. I am getting fuel to the rails.
This car sat for a while when I got it and after the engine swap was done because I had gotten so agitated with trying to figure it out why it would not start. I keep reading different threads on here about what it could be.
The motor does crank but does not start. The gauges on the inside of the car do light up for a bit, The check engine light and all the others when you have the key on the ON position. It will start for a 1-3 seconds if I have starting fluid sprayed down the intake.
I know I need to get a multimeter to this thing but I am a little confused as to which wires from the ECU or resistor I am suppose to check. If anyone can help me with a bit more simple guide, It would be highly appreciated!
So far, I know I need to check the resistor pack, the injector wires for a 12v that is supposed to be on during the ON position, the wires coming from the ECU. Am I missing anything else? I know that I also need to check if there is a break in any of the lines.
I do not have a anti theft system on this vehicle. I am also gonna pull ECM from the car and open it to see if anything seems off.
If you need any more info, Please let me know. I will try to update as I go. Thanks!
