1990 talon tsi dsmlink v3. Car sat all winter in a garage, before winter was over I would start the car a few times a week just to keep oil flowing, during start ups and idle no issues. First 70 degree day I take her out no issues. Second day I drive it for about 15 mins, car bucked a little so I headed back to the house. I let her idle for a min in the drive way to see if I could get it to act up again, then the car immediately dies. Try to start again smoke everywhere smells like raw fuel. Gas is new I filled up after running the old gas out. After diagnosis I find my injectors are firing, cas tested ok and tried a new one no luck. Come to find out I only have spark on cylinder 2. 1,3, and 4 get nothing. My coil pack and ptu are new Mitsubishi parts and my wires are new ngk. Does this sound like an ecu being bad, I’m starting to think so because it ran perfect before these random issues. It also started acting up when it got above 70degrees.
