[:@]my 1990 Eclipse GS 2.0 is doing the exact same thing.

I too checked for spark, fuel delivery, replaced my ignition coils, power transisitor, wires, plugs, air/fuel filters and all she'll do is crank and fireoff!
I too can use help!

Guys and Gals,

Having the same type of issue with my 96 Eclipse.

Fresh re-build, but won't start up.

Have a string going on another forum that shows the progression (and frustration).

http://www.carforums.net/showthread....ge=1&pp=10

Hope someone can help me.

Plan to post the solution whenever it decides to start.

Thanks,
Mike

For some reason there is a lot of this type of probem going around.. No Spark.. and spun #1 Rod bearing...I fixed the bearing and can't fix the spark the engine did strart and run great for 300 miles.. now it has no spark . I changed the Crank and Camshat Sensor's The fuel pump runs fine I rechecked the Valve timing and it is spot on..I also checked the coils and they are in specs.. Thinking PCM found one in a salvage yard but it was for a 5 spd. instead of a Auto.. Did I say I checked the relays also.. they are working...all wire harness that were unplugged before were rechecked for bent pins or not connecting.. I am past my Wits End what could it be. With no Check engine light. and can't find a dealer with a Mois Dianotic machine from Snapon. I can see why for $7650. any other Ideas would be appreciated .. Thanks.. Oh I am still waiting for the report from you as to what was the Problem...

I too am having the same problem. I have a 91 Talon TSI AWD (auto trans)that I've been playing with for about 8 months now. Replaced the cylinder head and timing belt, put it together and it will not start. I checked the compression and all cylinders are about 150-160 psi. As I doug deeper into my no start situation, I found that I was getting spark and had pleny of fuel pressure, but no injector pulse. So, I replaced the ECU from a '94 Eclipse gsx turbo (manual trans) and now, no spark or injector pulse. I just wanted to make sure that the ECU could affect the primary ignition circuit and cause a no spark situation.

Right now, it's too coldtomess with (Central Ohio), so if I findthe soultion, it won't be till spring. It's one of two project cars right now, so no rush.

Make sure the timing is good. And a couple other things to check is the cam position sensor and crankshaft position sensor. If either of those are no good the car wont start

ORIGINAL: silvercoupe97

It can also be the ASD relay and ECU.
Here's some more info on the ASD that I just posted up.

I just found this link about "Solving the mysteries of Chrysler ignitions." It really breaks it all down and not too technical to follow.

I think I may have figured out my problem with the no start: According to the ECU reference chart found on www.mitsubishiecu.com, the ECU I won from ebay is for a 90-94 1.8L non turbo, and from what I've read, they are not compatible. So, now I have to fightwith the seller for a refund or excahnge.

No alarm. I was getting spark, but no injector pulse with the old ECU. No spark or injector pulse with the replacement ECU. Just need to find a cheap ECU that works.
