Hi guys. I just bought a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS off a close friend of mine. Long story short, it was his high school car that he junked about 5 years ago and I thought it would be funny to buy it and bring it back to life. No laughs yet, just cries
I drove it from Yuma, Az to Los Angeles, Ca (about 220 miles) after doing its maintenance and getting it to run. The Eclipse drove fine with no obvious issues. I tried turning it on the next day and it would just crank but didnt start. I played with the coilpack pigtail and it started up right away. Drove it to work and it decided to no turn on again. Once again I played with the coilpack pigtail and it turned on, buuuut this time it bogged out as soon as I would put it in gear(stick) and accelerate. The scanner shows P1391 INTERMITTENT LOSS OF CMP OR CKP SENSOR SIGNALS. I once again played with the pigtail and it turned on for about 5 minutes and bogged out. Code is gone. My fuel pump is fine. I can hear it turn on and we can smell the fuel. I also replaced the coilpack pigtail and it turned on right away. It stayed on for about 3 minutes and bogged out again. I checked for power at the ignition fuse and it has 12v so thats good. I purchased a Duralast coilpack from autozone and it only reads 0.6ohm at the terminal. My old one also reads 0.6ohm. I warrantied the new one and the 3rd one also only reads 0.6ohm. Their computer says it should read anywhere between 0.7ohm-1.5ohm. Sorry if this post doesnt make too much sense. This is my first time working on a car, but I have worked with other equipment.
