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?

 

is it getting fuel?

 

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'!

 

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

 

if your car doesnt start because of compression you would have some serious problems . 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

 

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

 

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

 

yea i changed the plugs and they smelled strong of fuel

 

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