My Evo X isn't getting spark. I'm thinking it's because of the airbags going off and the immobilizer not allowing the plugs to fire. I have tried everything, checked compression, checked fuel, checked spark, when I bought the car from an auction (it was wrecked) it did the same thing but it cranked slowly, so I changed the battery, cranks faster but doesn't start. I tried switching out my buddies crank sensor and still nothing. When I bought it, it didn't come with a airbag module, could that be it? I already tried my buddies airbag module and still nothing. It can't be timing because it would still spark just at the wrong times. I have checked all fuses they were all good. the car was hit on the drivers side. I have added some photos of my airbag warning lights. Can anyone give me some solid advice?

Could it be the coil packs? It's been in a wreck so it could have possibly cracked and you're not getting any spark. Just taking a wild guess. I doubt the airbag module has anything to do with it not cranking

How would I check the coil packs?

You can use a multimeter to check them. I don't know what values you should be getting. Search it online or call a Mitsu dealer. Inspect them visually too for any cracks. If you don't have a multimeter you can find one at a hardware store or you could try changing them with your friend

I'm going to try switching mine out with my friend

Does the X have a fuel safety shut of switch? Some cars cut fuel during an accident and it could be as simple as resetting a button.

Does anyone know what the airbag strip over the vin number means? Like if that's the reason it wo't start?

Man you still at it haveing the same problem? Maybe you should just find a good evo shop and have this bad boy towed in. Im pretty sure you posted on here like a few weeks ago with the same problem still right?

Yes, Im waiting for my obd2 to come in, funny thing is I just got done talking to the dealer and they have no idea what it is, they couldn't even tell me anything. I have no evo shops around me I'm just going to wait for my obd2 scanner to come in and hope it tells me something, I just need a sense of direction of what's wrong. I want this evo to come back to life, they don't make them anymore. I rebuild cars all the time, never have I came across something like this.

And you checked all the fuses right?

Found the problem, someone had intentionally pulled the pink wire out of the cam sensor and hid it into the wire bundle, once i put it back into the connector it started with no problems! Getting her painted and registered as soon as I can. Glad I could restore this totaled evo back to life
