Resolved 97 Eclipse RS no spark

[dustin560]

i have a 97 rs 2.0 non-tubro fuel test good compression is good. Bought the car no motor and put a used one in no spark off any point on coil.

Things I have tryed 2 differnt coils, asd realy, fuses look good, crank sensor was broke so i put a new one from Autozone in. not sure what to try car turns over just no spark. tryed cam sensor off a 96 eclipse i have nothing differnt, tryed the pcm out of the 96 no change.

any ideas? i thought maybe ground or ign switch? any ideas would be helpfull my 96 just though 2 rods =\ so id like to get this 97 going got someone wanted to trade a gts for it any ideas will be helpfull

Just to be sure you bought the car with no engine and then put a used one in ?

First check all connections around the car. Check your coilpack connections. Are you throwing any CEL? Make sure you have all the spark plug wires in the correct locations. Have you actually tried holding the spark plug to the chassis to see if it "sparks"? Or are you just assuming that there is no spark? What tests have you done specifically? And we can help you more. The more you tell, the more we can weed out. We only know what you tell us. Happy 2012!

Yeah tell us how many cylinders are getting spark if any and if you can tell us exactly wich cylinders. Also check your resistance of the spark plug wires with a multimeter.

Sounds like a problem i had ended up being the ECU, Turn the key to where you would start the car, then see if you CEL comes on. also see if your getting power to you Fuel pump.

Im not sure about the 420a, but in the 4g63 setup the compressor and coil pack wiring harness connectors look the same and will interchange.

Well its been a while but I wanted to just let everyone know. I did use a spark tester on all 4 wires no spark at all. I tested compression and fuel pressure were both good. I let the car sit for a year now. I paid someone too look at it and some how I plugged the crank sensor plug into the coil and the coil plug into the crank.

The wires to both had been spliced when I bought the car but I wasn't even thinking they were wrong when they plugged right in. Stupid I know, just a sign to check every thing you do more than once.

Got it running for 200 though, still made 2300 off the car. Thanks for the ideas though!
