Thanks. i guess I'll try that next. I'm also gonna take another look at the mfi fuse. I checked it twice and it didn't look burnt. I'll go over it again though just to be sure.
if you do check the fuse, use a voltometer and set it on the ohm's setting. that'l tell you if you have a circuit (in other words if your fuse is still good)

Can you tell me where to find the crank angle sensor? I haven't spent much time under the hood of a mitsubishi. Is it gonna be a pain in my *** to get to?

Have you checked your fuel filter because that would also keep it from getting any fuel if everything in it settled and clogged it up while it was sitting. Just a thought. It's a cheap fix
