I have a 96 eclipse 420a non Turbo. A couple days ago I used engine degreaser and cleaned up the engine. That night it got pretty cold and that morning the car wouldn't start. It turns over and tries to start for a couple seconds then dies. I'm getting fuel. Anyways I hooked my scanner up, no codes, then tried again and it started. Ran fine all day. This morning same problem tries to start but wont. I'm thinking its the cam or crank sensor? Any ideas?
 
You should check all of your electrical connections on the motor and in the bay since you used engine degreaser. A good thing todo if you havent already is get yourself some di-electric grease at your local parts store or a home improvement store and put some in the connections this is a cheap trick to prevent bad connections especially on our older vehicles.
