420A 2gNT Eclipse won't start

[sensational7]

very vague question but i currently own a 1996 eclipse 2.0L that unfortunately does not start or run, ive replaced the battery, starter, and the fuel pump sounds good, i’ve figured its wiring since the wiring on this car is horrible but im getting abit lost and could use some direction.

(ill add requested photos if needed)

Spark, fuel, and compression. Check for those 3 first. Pull out the plugs and they should probably be fuel-soaked if you've been cranking it and it won't start. Clean em, crank the car with them out and watch for spark. If you have that then check compression.

Plug wire order might be off. Post pics of said shitty wiring

Turbo or non-turbo?

i checked my plugs, turned out i didn’t even have spark plugs for my car and the tubing for the spark plugs were dry/ were not fuel soaked.

i also don't have pictures of the wiring but a basic explanation is that there are loose/cut/random wires all along the engine bay.

Well that explains why your plugs are not fuel soaked and you don’t have spark?!? Sounds like a problem with the starter? Does the motor turn over by hand? Your fuel injectors will not squirt fuel if your not getting a rpm signal same with the plugs. The motor needs to at least spin over before anything will happen. See if the motor spins by hand at the harmonic balancer first. If it does check the voltage at the starter and the starter relay.

Why does your exhaust have no bolts connecting the header to the head?

-Good luck, Daniel

I was gonna unbolt the exhaust to try to get more access to the starter but I didn’t have the right size for a wrench.

No the motor doesn’t turn over.

Quick question, the plugs send signals to the injectors so they can send fuel?
By that fact, me getting spark plugs should allow the injectors to squirt fuel? And how do I spin the motor at the harmonic balancer, I'm kinda new to this stuff

Both the spark plugs and the injectors are driven by the Powertrain Control Module (The ECU in 420A speak). The PCM knows when to do so based on the Crank and Cam sensors.
Until the engine is spinning the PCM won't see those signals and won't fire either.
