#137909, "Car starts then dies and looses spark"


          

Im having huge trouble with a 99 eclipse nt with a turbo kit on it. I have replaced the fuel pump, crankd sensor, cam sensor, and coil pack. I cant figure this out. it will start then run for about 10-15 seconds sometimes longer. it will die or if u rev it up it will die. the tach drops to 0 and it shuts off. it will crank after but not have any spark unless I let it sit for little while then it does the same thing. any help would be appreciated
thanks

Are you using a FCD or DSMLink?

Sorry guy, I clearly need to read more carefully before I post. If you are loosing spark, the first thing you need to track down is why. You say the car runs for about 10-15 seconds or longer before shutting off due to the lost of spark. I would check the spark plugs after its done this, to see if the spark plugs are being over saturated with Fuel to the point they are too wet to spark. Another thing is that it is possible that some of the spark plugs could be faulty. Next place to look would be the knock sensor because knock sensor is basically a microphone that is there to listen for spark knock which is also called detonation, pinging, and pre ignition. If any of these conditions are too extreme for the ECU to make adjustments then it will shutdown the signal to the coil pack.

Posting this based on past experiences with a scenario similar to this so I hope this helps.
