Starting Problems
 

Hey all whats up? i got a 95 eclipse gs with a starting problem. it's getting spark and turns over but wont fire up and run at all, anyone know what the problem may be?

RE: Starting Problems
 

is it getting fuel?

RE: Starting Problems
 

How do you know its getting spark.

Well, it could be a few things. 3 things are needed for combustion.

Oxygen, Fuel, Ignition... all in the right ratio.

Find out what it is your missin'!

RE: Starting Problems
 

if you have fuel, do a compression test. they solve everything

RE: Starting Problems
 

if your car doesnt start because of compression you would have some serious problems :D. Compression is part of the proccess but i dont think it should necessarily be part of that list only because its by the mechanical parts. Its not something that i dont think would give this issue

RE: Starting Problems
 

how could it NOT cause a no-start? just because his compression is off doesnt necesarilly mean something serious happened? his timing could just be off a little bit and that could very well cause it not to start

RE: Starting Problems
 

Timing being off yes that will cause a no start. But in that case wouldnt it be easier to just check the timing marks on the cams for that?

I was talking chemically.... lol

RE: Starting Problems
 

yea i changed the plugs and they smelled strong of fuel

RE: Starting Problems
 

well its gettin air and fuel, and check the plugs for spark. but it looked weak the spark looked weak
