Problem for Mitsubishi 1997 Eclipse

Replaced alternator, now car won't start




By donr654 on Jun 14, 2009

" "
Pulled positive bat. cable, car died. Replaced alternator, all electrics are hooked up, all fuses & breakers good, good fuel pressure in the rail, got spark @ the plugs when motor truning over. Acts like it wants to butjust sputters a little bit when throttle is applied while cranking.

disconnecting the battery on an alternator is a no no. that was how they used to ck generators but an alternator can be damaged with no load in the circuit. Try changing out your MAF sensor. 1st sensor coming out of the air cleaner. good luck.
