Hello dear persons;
97 eclipse, its an off white color.
Key doesn't turn over engine. But enough with that, it looks to have been "tinkered w/" if you catch my meaning.
I used a wrench and connected the one bolt w/ the other on the starter and the car turns over. However there is no spark off coils. I did old school screwdriver test and mult meter test, no spark.
The meter test from 1 to 4 and 2 to 3, was in Ohm parameters, supposedly, I have no FSM for this car as of yet, so I'm going off interweb info. The meter said the wires were getting the correct voltage as it turned over, maybe, i think. idk. it was very high voltage.
The Cam angle sensor, i think, (420a) it's on drivers side of engine, looked old, but i cleaned it, it's getting voltage to the harness at least. dont know how much it should be getting but it looked consistent with what i read.
tl:dr summary:
No spark, don't think there is a bad Dist Cap, the wires look new, voltage going to them consistent w/ supposed parameters. I'm thinking either one of the CAS or CKPS are bad, if there is even two sensors. Everywhere i looked was different answer, no one agreed to what the acronyms even meant. Is there a way to properly test the sensors before replacement, as they are expensive. Thank you.
Bonus question: By bridging the starter, I attached my compression guage to one cylinder. Zero to 5 psi. Dry test. no wet test done, too discouraged. No coolant, though residue looked brown, maybe head gasket, teeth on timing belt in good condition. What would be more time worthy, testing and perhaps overhaul, or lighting the car on fire? jk, i don't know how to overhaul anything.
