I have been on the road for over a month now , its time for me to go home. I have a 2005 Evo VIII MR with onle 4731miles on it. It drove fine last night, but when I went to it this morning it cranks but won't start. I have checked all the fuses in the interior and engine. I've played switch around with the fuel relays. Battery is good and even tried to jump it. Gas tank is full. I'm out of ideas , anything else I can do before I send it to the dealership, which it is possible they may not be able to find out what it is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Can you hear the fuel pump priming? It's not that loud but if you remover the back seat you should be able to hear it once you turn the key to on. If it's priming then you should check and see if you are getting spark. Pull your spark plugs and make sure you are getting spark, have someone crank the car while you hold the rubber on the plug wire and see if it's sparking, be careful of shock and gas fumes. Those should be the first things you check. Did you get your car flashed?

 

Make sure you hold it with pliers, and keep it close to the cylinder so the spark goes back in there.

 

I hear a ticking sound behind me, is that the fuel pump?
I dont have spark plugs, the car is completely unmodified

 

DO NOT DO IT THIS WAY.......If there are any fumes then the spark will ignite the fumes and you will have a nice big flame shoot up.

 

LOL every car has spark plugs.... Its not a mod, its more of a necessity.

 

Honestly, I dont think this guy should even touch his car...no offense, but he thinks he dont have spark plugs.

 

The fuel pump should hum not tick. As for the plugs I didn't ask if you changed them I told you to check them for spark. If you don't have fuel or spark the car will not start. Those should be the next things checked after fuses. Have you put another key in the ignition? Because the evo has an immobilizer that will cause the car not to start.

 

all the 4g63's i have seen on older eclipses have the spark plug cables coming out the opp. of the cam gears, this one has a triple 22gauge wire connector

 

I agree he should not be doing it if he does not know to check for fuel and spark, but if you do put it up to the cylinder like you suggested you can get a nasty flame up.

 

why worry? call the mitsu dealer on monday get the car towed. You will get some rental car and worry free sorry to hear that.

 

That's the coil pack. You have to remove the coil packs and the plugs are under those. Pleas do not work on you car, you will hurt it.

 

i dont hear any hums

 

im 700 miles from home...a rental would be pointless

 

Then call a place that's open and have them fix it because you don't seem to have the proper knowledge of your car to be able to diagnose and fix the problem. Did you check all the fuses in the fuse box under the hood?
