My 1995 eclipse RS decided to embarass me in front of a potential buyer and not start. Ive never had a problem with her starting before. I admit it had been a couple months due to a bad battery, but after the initial embarassment I had purchased: battery, starter, coil, plugs, wires and relays. Im still not getting fuel or spark. I noticed last night that the cel light doesnt come up when trying to start the car, which tells me that the ecu is nonresponsive. Does anyone have a pin out of the ecu harness? I wanna see where the ecu gets power from so I can possibly find an alternate power source to test the ecu and see if its bad. I have an ECU from a 1997 RS but I hear its not compatible. I have no other 1995 eclipses to test mine in. Im also wondering if Ill be needing to flash/reprogram another ecu to work in my vehicle.

If anyone has any input I would be forever in your debt. I have someone interested in giving me their 1993 3000gt, with a freshly rebuilt motor, in exchange for my 1995 eclipse RS as soon as I have it running. Going from 140hp auto to 222hp 5spd would be wonderful.

1997 ECU will not work.

Try taping your ecu with like a screw driver or some light and then try starting your car, I had a bad ecu. My 95 eclipse would not start sometimes and I would tap the ecu with a screw driver and bam car started bought new one and never had that problem again. Let me know if it works

I like it! Most problems in life can be fixed with a big enough hammer.

lol I will have to try the tapping, I just figured I would replace it. But is there any way to test it and make sure its not a broken wire somewhere? I dont wanna replace the ecu for that money and have it still not turn over..

I will at least be checking for continuity when I have time, thats why I wanted the pinout for the ecu.

well I think a volt meter should be able to tell you if the wires are producing enough spark to the ecu. But if I am wrong taping the ecu should tell you that it needs to be replaced because its shorting, this is what I experienced personally and I bought new one for 230 at discount.

No.

This thread is going to get locked up if this line of advice continues.

OP: You have been given pin-out diagrams and suggestions. Try them out and come back with results if you want further help.
