New DSM Owner

[Numba1Stuna]

Hey there guys, just picked up a 92 N/A Eagle Talon this last Saturday. Got it for a hell of a price, traded a pistol and $200. Near mint interior, dash still has it's glow. The only issue is it's not running. Turns over, but doesn't try to start. Figured I'd take a crack at it for the price. I was able to spend just a little time on it last weekend, and it doesn't sound like the fuel pump is kicking on, so I will investigate that further when I get a chance this weekend.

One thing I'm not sure of, and I hope you DSM Vets can assist me with, is identifying the engine. I know it's a SOHC, but not much else. The PO literally only had the car a month and he couldn't get it to run, lost his job, and sold it. Before him a lady had it since 2006, as I can tell from an old registration. The story goes that she blew the engine somehow and replaced the motor, whether it's identical to the original motor is beyond me. Used google and that didn't work out too well. So your input would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not new to bloody knuckles or slinging wrenches, . I've got two Turbo Toyota Supras(currently doing a complete rebuild on one), Turbo Ford Probe, 3000GT N/A, and now the Talon. Maybe I could post a few pic of them if you guys would like. Anyway, thanks for the help in advance, and happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks man, no offense taken, much appreciated. Knew it wasn't a powerhouse engine. Just want to identify it to purchase the correct parts. Is there a specific/exact name for that engine or is the only way to identify it as Mitsubishi 1.8L SOHC? So when I'm looking on Ebay/parts house/etc I know how to describe it. Thanks again guys.

Sorry, I didn't put the engine code, 'cause I didn't know it! Anyway, I looked it up: it's a 4G37. So the complete line is: 1.8L 4G37 SOHC non turbo.

Thanks man, you've been more then helpful, and now I know what type of parts to scout for when looking. I'll post a tech section soon with what I find out in regards to the fuel pump and starting issue.
