I need some help here, because I have no clue what I am supposed to do. I have a 95 Eclipse RS. Sometimes when it gets really cold (below 20 degrees) at night and my car is not parked in the garage: It will not start the next morning. Just turns and turns and turns. Sometimes it does this when it has just been sitting for a few days too. The spark plugs and wires are fine, fuel pump and relays both have electric current to them when they are supposed to.
When it warms up in the afternoon, the car starts just fine.
Anyone have a clue???

please help!:cry: :cry: :cry:
 
Has anyone heard that PLATINUM spark plugs can do this. I talked to a technician at a dealer service dept. and he says that platinum plugs are bad for the 420A.
???

Is there voltage making it to the plugs? pull off one of the wires and see if its sparking, I'm guessing your not even sending voltage to the plugs, I'm guessing its the coilpack, I've had isses with mine in below freezing temps, I replaced it and was fine.
