1995 Mitsubishi mirage 1.5 motor not receiving spark from distributor

several things cause no spark with a logic probe 2 led version (red & green) with ignition on test both sides of the ignition coil they should be red if positive side green power problem to ignition + side red and - side green internal open in coil both red then place on - side and crank engine flashes red green then coil is bad does not flash then remove distributor cap and test magnetic pick-up coil if flashes replace module does not replace pick up coil.

Replace Distributor

before you go any further
pull the oil filler cap from the rocker cover and see if the cam shaft and rockers are moving when you are cranking it over
suspect a broken timing belt as that will not allow any spark

Check for spark; pull the plug fom the coil, place @ 1/4" from grounded metal, crank over and look for spark.

Please let me know wat you find.

Thanks,
Tom

Hope this help (remember rated this post).

It could be that the valves need adjusting or redone. When they heat up it swells the rubber and the metal. If you have a bent valve it should do it all the time or it could be one of the valve springs is going. Either way it sounds like it is something in the valve or the valve seats or the springs.

when you have no rpm signal and no fuel and or spark you most likely need a crank sensor

Could be multiple. I would look for bad Motor Mounts or Worn Shifter Linkage Components, to address the Transmission Issues. The Idle Issue could be an Idle Air Control Valve. 1995 is before OBD2. So, Check Engine Lights are useful, but not as much as they are 1996 and up.You didn't mention a Light on. Get a Repair Manual. You are going to need it.

have the 02 sensors checked.

built int the distributor cheaper to replace the whole distributor
