AND IT ALL COMES TUMBLING DOWN........

car for the past couple days has been spontaniously dying. first time just takin a left turn then i was able to start it right back up.happened again that night. next day drove it and it died on me a bunch. then i learned that if i armed the car and disarmed it it would start right back up, but if i didnt i could spin the motor over forever without starting. the third day the alarm arm disarm thing didnt respond as well got stuck out in garland for 45 minutes after getting some 110 octane. jacked car up and checked crank sensor-disconnected and reconneced- i didnt have tools to take it out but looks brand new like the day i put it in not but 2 months ago. checked the cam sensor looks fine- msd box i bypassed and still same issue- i can watch the led on the top of the msd when connected and see if its getting/sending signal, no blinky blinky, just a half ass blink at the very begining of a crank and doesnt happen every time. errr. what could the problem be? i was thinking possibly the alarm system but learned that it has ignition kill on the csm-2(code alarm's remote start module)- so i pulled the module- still didnt start.the brain has starter kill but no ignition kill if im not mistaken (code alarm pro 5500). anyway i have no spark- i remember a while ago i had to get my computer replaced for the very same thing- could spin the motor over but no spark. that time it started for me once after but took some coaxing, then never started again. my issue now is goin on 4 days- and i had to pull my car with a tow strap to my house behind my girlfriend in her 98 protoge, what a scene.

any suggestions?

does anyone have a stock 96 computer i could plug up to see if that's the case?

i also purchased a new alarm and will rip the old one out soon to do some diagnostics with the alarm removed.

happen to check the fuel and ignition relays....when they go out/start to go out they will cause the car to die for no apparent reason and then make it a biotch starting back up...

well, no i haven't--your the first person to ever mention those relays- i have looked through my chilton's and i dont see where they are located. 1996 mitsu eclipse gs 2.0 non-turbo

any one know what's goin on?-- please help
if it is the relays- where are they?

are they the two little black boxes next to the clutch/brake fluid resivouir's (sp) at the top right of the engine bay????

big black box between your ECU and the headlight

there is no ignition relay there-- they are located next to the master cylinder and resevoir on the driver side of the firewall.--
it was the ignition relay-- just swapped it out with one from my door poppers since my entire consol was conveniently removed. and took a second but fired up-- THE ECLIPSE IS ALIVE--- so now to autozone to get a replacement!!!!!!--
thanks for the imput

still same freeeakin issue--- xpt i can start it more than last time
--- can start it but then just dies at unspecified amount of run time-- sometimes 5 sec- sometimes 30 sec-----\
PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE
COMPUTER???? PCM??? ECU???
GOT FUEL--- PRESSURE IS FINE- GOT AIR---- NO SPARK----- I THINK THE SIGNAL IS JUST BEING CUT

Are you shorting somewhere?

that might cause the relays to go bye bye..

the relays were still good- even the one i replaced

Kareem

Do you have an upgraded fuel pump? Upgraded coil? Hit me up on AIM, I'll try to help.

have 255lph walbro pump and replaced factory coil pack----- getting fuel- getting air-- no spark--- think problem is before coil

is it fouling plugs? too much fuel, not enough fuel...

As much as I hate to reply to this with no info on the problem, I just have to tell you that is a fuckin beautiful car. I am speechless. I don't care for the front but Jesus the rest is fucking insane.
