not firing on cylinders 2 and 3
i just bought the car tonite. with known problems. its a 1997 mitsubishi eclipse spyder gs-t. the motor has been swapped in the car. not sure exactly what it is maybe someone can figure out by the pics. im only getting spark on cylinders 1 and 4 though. car runs but runs really really rough. anybody have any ideas? i was told to check the coil pack, which i will be replacing tomorrow. other than that any other things that would cause this problem? im also not sure which coil pack to get. i went to autozones website and coulnt find one that looked anything like it.

RE: not firing on cylinders 2 and 3
If the car runs at all, that means you must be getting some spark, because the car cant run on even 3 cylinders.
CONFIRM that they aren't firing... because that makes no sense.
If its running ****ty, check the timing, check/replace spark plugs and wires.

cam postion sensor maybe....its not even there. there is however a removable rubber plug where the sensor goes. it seems like the car is going into some kind of weird mode. it will start the first time firing only on cylinders 1 and 4 but if it dies i have to disconnect the battery in order to get it to start back up.
