19990, Electrical Problem?
Posted by XavierS, Apr-18-02 01:20 AM
Okay guys, here's the situation. I have no power going to the ecu, fuel, or ignition. The ecu I replaced just in case it was that (stock). Now has anyone had this problem or possible know what or where to look for the problem. I'm wondering if the wire harness that connects to the ecu needs to be replaced or what. I can't find any burnt wires anywhere. Please help! Don't know what to do and the dealer refuses to look at the car. They say it's no long a "Mitsubishi" hahahaha. Oh well, they didn't want to be held responsible for any damage to the car since it was beyond their expertise. Even the electrical problem they refused to look at. All they'll really do is just an oil change or tranny fluid change.

yep, fuses are good and relays are new. They have been replaced twice just to make sure. The starter gets power, accessories get power, but no fuel and spark. You know how when you turn the key you can see the light for the check engine or the radiator light. None of that shows. So I replaced the ecu thinking it was that and still the same thing. I have no idea!!!!

Sounds like your ignition wire isn't geting powered up, thats the only thing i can think of. Find the black/white wire at your ignition harness, and use a test light to see if it powers up when you turn your key forward. If it doesn't, then it could be your ignition switch. That would be the first thing i would check, since that wire makes all of your dash warning lights come on, and controls fuel, spark, ect...Double check you fuses both in the car and under the hood..Good luck..
