pville, Louisiana
was driving my car and it was running fine
so i decide to turn around and when i did my car just died
i checked under the car and there was oil on the ground the oil filter was loose
since then i had it home and put oil in it and tried to start it
it want start i dont have spark in cylindes 1 and 4
i changed the coil pack power transistor cas and everything except for ecu and cps
i dont know what it could be
 
i just bought a 98 rs 420a 5 speed with same problem (no oil) so i tried to do like the other guys have said before about "priming "the lifters and just having a friend turn it once more was all it took to have the lifter seize up and bent a valve as i watched be carefull.This isnt the first eclipse/Talon i've had to replace valves in and its not fun.good luck
