well you can take the top timing belt cover off and see if its loose. when you crank it does it crank faster than normal?

it might be that there is no fuel getting to the engine. Check the fuel pump.

That happened to my sister's car too. We took it to a garage, and the mechanic said that my sister's car (Eclipse GS spyder, 4G64) had 2 timing belts. Which I am not sure if that is true?

I have the feeling that's the main computer....is it ECM or ECU? I don't what it's call. I had the same problem and code shows that computer are not working. What I did was, I go on ebay and get refurbished computer for about 200 bucks and it works great. THe only thing that u need to do after iinstalling the newer computer, u just need to go to Mitsu dealer and get them reset the computer. I think it's about 60 bucks to reset.
