Resolved Help 2g Eclipse RS no spark

[Daniel b]

So I bought a 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse gs 420a engine, it cranks but won’t start and has no spark, I have changed crank sensor and coil pack. Any ideas?

 

[Daniel b]

Which relays? Just because you unplugged the coil doesn't mean they don't have power.

The two in the front right of engine bay

But they just click randomly and scanner won’t connect and they click when I mess with wiring I think it needs a new wiring harness and fuse box because it’s just a mess like all the wires are halfass connected

If I were you. Anywhere there is a splice, I would cut it off and redo it correctly. Replace any broken or damaged connectors. Make sure every single wire is not damaged and properly connected. And make sure everything is hooked up where it is supposed to go. The only reason wiring sucks is because people make it suck. The concept is quite simple.

Thanks yeah I’m probably going to some research tonight move my car in the garage and try that.

yeah but like the wiring seems at a point where it will need a new wiring harness I will send a video but I also removed some stuff that’s why it looks really messy.

If you think it's not repairable, hopefully you can find an engine wiring harness at a junkyard. Or maybe call Miller Imports. It's not too hard to replace.

yeah it’s just like I found a few wires that look bad that they wrapped in duck tape but I mean not anything serious so I really don’t know maybe a bad ground

so what was wrong with it?

 

[Daniel b]

so what was wrong with it?

Speed sensor.

 

[Sirius1995]

Speed sensor.

You didn't have spark because of speed sensor?

 

[Daniel b]

You didn't have spark because of speed sensor?

Yes I tried it on my other 420a eclipse as well

 

[BLACK'98DSM]

Speed sensor is not related to the ignition system in any way...

exactly, that's why I'm confused as well

I know but when I remove speed sensor no spark I tried it 2 times

Then there's an issue with your wiring. Something isn't hooked up right.
