I just purchased a 95 eclipse gst, the car ran great , than on my way home from work, the car misfured a few times than was fine, I got home, turned the car off, than next morning I went to start it, and it just cranks and doesn't fire... I have spark, fuel, air, and timing... I've read various things like coolant sensors and such, but would that prevent it from not starting at all, it sounds like it isn't even trying to start....

Any advice would be apreciated, thanks!
 
check the following:

your spark plugs
your cranck sensor
your Coolant temp sensor
your cranck pulley if its separated

check your timing if it skipped a tooth or two.


get back to us if nothing from the above works for you


good luck
 
Sounds like a cam/crank angle sensor. I believe the 95's have the shitty cam angle sensor behind the intake cam gear which is a PITA to replace. It will actually be easier to get a 1g CAS or 97-99 2g CAS and wire it up to replace.

Otherwise check your compression. No compression = no fire.
 
well, it looks like the timing belt... and most deff bent valves, basically no compression in any cylinder... shit is now 2 DSM's i have that jumped timing... maybe i should have taken everyones advice about not buying one..... :(
