21395, Update on no spark problem. Posted by PUNKINPLAID, Apr-25-02 12:22 PM
Okay. after further checking the wiring harness I found that a group of wires found there way down to the cv axle and cut one in half and exposed and some what flattend the two white wires that lead into the altenator. My dad who is an electrician repaird that and we tried the engine again. Still no spark Tomorrow Im yanking the timing cover to see if the bealt skipped a tooth. Now the only error code i get is a 32 which is EGR valve but that has nothing to do with spark. Another thing is even while turning the engine over, The plug that goes into the coil receives no voltage. So here are some questions. 1. How accurate are the PCM error codes? 2. Does any one have the Electrical Trouble shooting part of the mitsubishi Eclipse shop manual (section 13-A)?

if i were yo i'd check over that wiring problem you had. that could be alot worse. then i would check the fuse box ubnder the hood to see if your ALT fuse is still workin. has the car ever run right? maybe there battery was installed wrong.

thats the thing though. every wire except for those have continuity. and now those wires have continuity. no fuses are blown. We have replaced the coil with a new one. and teh cam and crank sensors with used ones. After the timing gear inspection imgoing to DaytonaBeach Mitsu and buying brand new cam and crank sensors.

have you checked the ASD relay here is a description of what it does
MFI RELAY (Automatic Shut Down) The MFI relay (automatic shut down relay) supplies battery voltage to the fuel injectors, electronic ignition coil, generator, and the heating elements in the oxygen sensors. The PCM controls the relay by switching the ground path for the solenoid side of the relay on and off. The PCM turns the ground path off when the ignition switch is in the Off position. When the ignition switch is in the On or Crank position, the PCM monitors the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor signals to determine engine speed and ignition timing (coil dwell). If the PCM does not receive the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor signals when the ignition switch is in the Run position, it will de-energize the MFI relay. Along with the fuel pump relay, the MFI relay attaches to a bracket on the drivers side of the dash panel.

thanks for the info. never knew about that. how would you go about testing it?

well its a relay, ask your dad, basically apply voltage to the + and - and see if the state of the relay is changing. your dad will know

I am having the same problem and i have replaced those relays two times in hopes that they were bad and they're not. I'm clueless as to what the problem is. I too have a 95 eclipse and if i'm not mistaken, there are a few 95's that are have this same problem. There's one here too at a shop with the same situation. So hopefully someone will get the problem straightened out and share! Good luck.
