Subject: Team3S:
ignition coil capacitor... spec, availability
Hey guys,
My new
bosch coil tests out to be exactly the same spec, so my ignition
coil was
good after all. What a waste of money :( especially because there's
no
returns on electrical items. I'm disappointed that the stealth shop
manual
has an incorrect standard spec under the "primary coil resistance"
section of
the ignition coil spec (DOHC turbo model) The only other things
that could be
causing the problem are that rusty capacitor that I just
swapped out, my
harnesses, or my ECM. I will go through the last diagnostics
and keep
everyone posted.

Re: Team3S: Won't start
Don't crank your engine again until you check
your timing belt. If that is
not broken or missing teeth, then check to
see if your ignition timing is
good. If that is good then see if
someone stuck bannanas up your tail pipes
or put sugar in your gas
tank.

Team3S: RE: Won't start
I have to agree with the timming belt
idea,,
3 months ago I went out and started my car on a cold morning and
it made a
little sound and would not start,, I took off the timming belt
covers and
sure enough the belts had jumped,, they were really loose and had
jumped 2
teeth.. becareful not to turn it over again until you are sure,, you
wil lbe
able to tell if it is them by taking off the covers ..
Problem
with mine was the belt was actually ok,, it was the adjuster was
rusted and
would not push out anymore to keep the belts adjusted,, but
living in NJ you
kinda have to deal with the rust,, good part about it is I
did not bend any
valves.. Lucky me.
hope this helps you out

Re: Team3S: Won't start /checking
You got me stumped. In order for
a car to start it needs: Gas, air, spark,
cranking motion, and correct
timing. If you have all of that, then it
should start. Anything
else that could go wrong would just be bizzare.
Even if you have something
draining your battery, it should still start if
it can crank, has spark and
fuel like you said.

Team3S: Diagnostic Tools
Where would I go about getting a diagnostic tool
for my car? Would
those generic ones in the local auto store work, or
do/should I get a
hold of an actual Mitsubishi one? Thanks.
