I have a 99 eclipse 420a wit an older hahn stage 2 kit. Car dont get driven much. 39k miles since new in Oct 99. Today i went out and everything was fine. When i went to leave where i had gone, the car started and then the motor died as i went to leave. Ill get a sputter once in a while but wont stay running. Pulled the plug wires and noticed that there was one wire with good spark while the others was a very low arc to the point of almost nothing. I changed out the coil pack and have the same results. Is this normal? Any ideas?
 
OP, follow the spark, fuel, compression strategy. Make sure you have each of these. If you are showing weak spark with no start, you might want to check to see if your timing belt is scrunched up.

Any cels?
