Dear Dsm lovers..,

I drive a 420A nonturbo eclipse from 1996 and live in the Netherlands..,
My car doesn,t want to start.., i did the keydance and came up with these codes..,

12 42 55

Does somebody maybe know the problem why my car won,t start?

With kind regards
Aeren S..,

(please excuse me for my bad english)
 
42 = bad MFI (ASD) relay or it's connector or circuit.
12 and 55 are normal codes.
12 = Power to PCM was disconnected (battery disconnected).
55 = end of codes.

ASD relay is here: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/dsm...6-where-asd-fuel-pump-tcu-relays-located.html

By the way, your English is fine and we are happy to help. The only improvement you could do would be to use an apostrophe instead of a comma on the words won't and doesn't. The apostrophe is the key to the left of the Enter key (with the " above it).
Are parts hard to get there?
 
Thnx..,

Yea it ain't easy for my car.., the Eclipse that i drive was imported from the States to the Netherlands.
Because most other Eclipse drivers have the european model with the 4g63 engine in it.
If i go here to the mitsubishi dealer to order something,there computer does not recordnice my VIN# neither does the Dodge/chrysler dealer :S
So i have to read and learn a lot from this forum..:D

If i need parts if usually order them on Ebay US and have to wait a month or so..
That really Sucks..!!:(

Anyway thanks for the meaning on the Codes..,
