That would explain why it seemed like timing, I guess I should have started with the basics. My apologies...

 

ill try the firing order that you suggested doc. ill post if anything happens. o and thanks guys for tolerating my newb questions. this is our first mitsu car we ever had.

 

Its all good. you'll have the 2.4 if its the spyder, good luck!

 

Good Luck!

 

So? Did it Fire?

 

unfortunately we can not try it because its snowing outside and we do not have a garage. so yea, gotta wait till the snow stops.

 

i tried it again and no it dd not fire at all. it cranks but still doesnt start. theres been one thing that has been on my mind. what if the guy that had the car before us switched the engine out? how would i know if its a 2.4 l. this could probably be the case here.

 

Take a picture and post it.

 

here are the pictures of the engine.
