Thanks

this may sound stupid, but maybe the battery is low

Hahaha yeah what he said. Or if that does not work, a new starter should do it. But like he said, check the batt first, if thats the problem, hit yourself in the head a couple of times with a 2x4 for us jk

ya its funny that the car turns over as in the starter turns the car over and it just cranks and cranks just won't fire up ....... You get what i am saying STARTER IS FINE AND BATTERY IS FINE

if it's cranking, it's not the battery. You may not be getting enough spark, since you said two cylinders aren't showing strength in their spark. If you are getting spark, check your timing belt.

Tbelt missing 1 tooth. Replace TBelt, if not, check fuel filter, that usually helps.

95's have a known problem with their ECUs. The telltale sign it's going bad is if it spontaneously shuts down, and after a few minutes or hours starts back up again like nothings wrong.

Swap it out with a known good one.

Mine only has the problem were when its been off for awhile it takes 3 cranks to start the thing. When the cars been on for awhile it turns on the first time. ECU related, but try replacing your fuel filter, I havent so that might be the problem. Nothing big to worry about really, just hope that the car dosent turn off in the middle of a train track when the train is underway and the car dosent turn on, then you would be in a world of s... yeah you get my point lol.

3 cranking sessions. My motor does not shut off like his, once mine is up and running it stays like that.

I had a friend run accorss this problem. He replaced the fuel pump, filter and injectors and he never ran accorss that problem again. But yeah the best would be ur filter first, then the pump, then injectors. BTW priming it 2 times worked for me so yah

Anything else i should look at ?

i'd check the ASD and Fuel Pump relays...

ok so today it was nice out so i decided to do a compression test on my eclipse Gs CYL 1(90)2(90)3(65)4(80) i think this is why is isn't starting anything else i should look at ?

You did the compression test wrong, and you still haven't replaced your ECU.

i did the compression test 3 times and the way the instruction said to do it and it read the same everytime i just find it odd the every cyclander is that low also will a 98 gs ecu fit in my 95 ?

So you have fuel, and you have spark (albeit weak)

The results of the compression test are low. I know it's on a cold motor, but still, they're low.

I don't want to say you did it wrong....but....how did you do it?


If they're all universally low, I'd start looking at the timing.
