So I have a 2004 Mitsubishi montero limited. And it currently went start I went and brought an ignition switch and crank shift sensor thinking that will fix the problem. We it tries to start but won’t fully start now. At first what made me think it was the ignition switch was, it would take 20 minutes to an hour to get the truck started. then one day went to go start the truck and it wouldn’t do anything after putting the ignition switch on you can hear it trying to start but nothing again so brought the crank shift sensor thinking that would fix it well still nothing. Any ideas what it could be? I also checked every fuse and relay and one of the spots in my relay box wouldn’t light up. Checked everywhere and can’t find a replacement for it

 

Is it "No Crank, No Start", or "Crank, No Start" condition?

 

At first it was no crank, no start now its crank but not starting. Like its trying to start but wont

 

It sounds like it's ether a lack of fuel or lack of spark issue. That's where I would focus onat least at the beginning. Check to see if you're getting spark. That's the easiest.

 

The spark plugs was recently done. And we are checking the fuel stuff in the morning but we have also found that the ignition switch when it’s taking out with a screwdriver put in it. It will try to start but when it’s put back together and the key is installed it won’t even try to crank. Also the fuel filter isn’t kicking on.
