I have a 97 eclipse and the mechanic says it's

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your 1989 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Here are a few things that you can check to try to get spark to the spark plugs: Check the spark plug wires: The spark plug wires can become damaged over time, which can prevent spark from reaching the spark plugs. Inspect the spark plug wires for any cracks or breaks. If you find any damage, replace the spark plug wires. Check the spark plugs: The spark plugs can also become fouled or damaged over time, which can prevent spark from reaching the spark plugs. Remove the spark plugs and inspect them for any damage. If you find any damage, replace the spark plugs. Check the ignition coil: The ignition coil is responsible for generating the spark that ignites the fuel in the engine. If the ignition coil is faulty, it can prevent spark from reaching the spark plugs. Inspect the ignition coil for any damage or signs of wear. If you find any damage, replace the ignition coil. Check the distributor cap and rotor: The distributor cap and rotor are responsible for distributing the spark from the ignition coil to the spark plugs. If the distributor cap or rotor is faulty, it can prevent spark from reaching the spark plugs. Inspect the distributor cap and rotor for any damage or signs of wear. If you find any damage, replace the distributor cap and rotor. If you have checked all of these things and you are still not getting spark to the spark plugs, it is possible that there is a problem with the engine's computer. In this case, it is best to take the vehicle to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair. Here are some tips to help prevent these problems from happening in the future: Change your spark plugs and spark plug wires according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Keep your engine clean and well-maintained. Avoid running your vehicle on low fuel. If you notice any problems with your vehicle's performance, have it checked out by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible.

It is not the TCM, it is a failed transmission.

Hi,
I think if that injector nozzle is blocked, you have to replace that injector nozzle.Most cars today uses electromagnetic type of nozzle.
Your mechanic could replace that nozzle.

first the cam sensor shouldn't be upside down from the 95. they both should be with the plug facing down. they 95 CAS has a different plug than the 99 CAS.
the 95 has round pins and the 99 has flat pins.

95-96

--------------------
97-99

-----------------------------
also the 95-96 relays are opposite the 97-99

95-96

------------------------
97-99

besides that it could be the ecu. i also have heard of the locating pin on the intake cam shearing off, allowing the gear to turn with the timing belt without the actual camshaft spinning.

HI: Well It Sounds Like The Timing Belt Was't Put On Correctly.And If your Not Getting ANY Compression,Good Chance that your Pistons and Intake And Exhaust Valves Hit eac Other BECAUSE it Was'nt Timed correctly. Run A Compression Test before you go any further..This should help you.Let me Know by Voting on my Assistance i have given you. Thanks WYOCWBOY

This really sounds like a vaccum leak at the intake. Just spray a bit of starting fluid at the intake manifold, with the engine at idle. You will hear a change in the engine. Replace necessary gaskets.

You could have a couple of issues.
Heater core
Radiator blockage

You should not drive the car to avoid overheating the motor. Have the system checked by a mechanic. You could simply have air lock.

Youfr front end is either wheel balance if your steering wheel shimmies side to side or if it shakes up and down it may be alignment. Neither is good for your tires, Try the balance first (cheapest fix)

Here is the factory electrical manual. It should have everything you need. (Mitsubishi has the best electrical manual i have ever seen)

Do a cooling system pressure check for a blown head gasket.
