Ok. I have a 1995 Eclipse GS. Non turbo. 5 Speed.

I started my car and something clinked. I took it up the road real
quick and on the way back, the check engine light came on. Since
I am going to school for Collision/Refinishing, and the Automotive
Mechanics building is right next door, I sent my car over and they
ran the scan tool on it. It popped up as an O2 sensor. They said it
was no major issue.

The next day, I went out to start my car and it was idling extremely
bad. 300 rpms or less, and it died and wouldn't start again. It tried
to crank over at least, but it just seemed like it was getting no
spark. One person thought it was missing at 2 and 4. They ran the
scan tool on it again and it popped up as a coil pack. So I went and
bought a new coil pack. When I returned and switched them out,
the connectors were not the same. I was then told that Mitsubishi
changed the coil packs in them because the originals did not work
correctly and that if I wanted an original, I'd have to go to the junkyard,
but I could buy the new connector if I wanted. So I bought the new
connector.

When we got back and tried to splice in the new connector, we
found that the wire colors are not exactly the same, but we still got
it connected, and when we tried to start my car, it wasn't getting any
spark to 3 or 4. We finally got spark to 3 and then finally 4. And the car
tried a little harder to start, but still wouldn't crank over completely.

My dad stepped in and said that the spark plugs were probably fouled
because of how many times we had tried to start it. But since I was
4 hours away at school, I didn't have any tools to take out the spark
plugs and even see what was going on with them. So he drove there
and pulled them out to find that my practically brand new spark plugs
were covered in gasoline. He had brought me four new ones to try, and
after replacing them, the car still won't start.

It sounds as though it was trying, but just isn't firing at the right times.
I was told to check the fuses, but the fuses all seem to be fine. I don't
know what else to check on for it.

 

Help help help.

 

Are you now getting spark on all 4 cylinders? Also check to see if your getting compression.

 

There's spark to all four cylinders. Already checked that out.

 

What abt compression?

 

As of right now, I had no way to check it. When I go back to school, I could probably ask them to check it when I ask if they can take the car in and figure it out.
