crank, no start
Asked by WayTuTall Jul 09, 2018 at 10:03 PM about the 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
2000 Mitsubishi eclipse 2.4L cranks but wont start, new cylinder head, timing
belt, sprockets, cam and crank sensor, new fuel pump, After above work was
completed, it ran beautiful. About 3 months later, while driving. It's just like
you shut off ignition switch. Fuel pump was determined to be non
operational. Replaced it with new one. Turns over, but won't fire. Shot some
starting fluid down it's throat. Non responsive, no sign or sound of
combustion igniting. Is it time to stop filling fuel tank, and drown interior for
final Barbecue?

All fuses good. Compression checked out great. All dash indicator warning lights illuminating. New battery. All plug connectors check out to cam and crank sensors. Fuel pump is new and operating. Alarm system deactivated. Fresh garlic cloves hanging from rear-view mirror. Holy water added to radiator. Exorcism performed 2 days ago by professional exorcist. Final steps are scheduled for wooden stake through the console, followed by a single Silver Bullet, shot right between the headlights at close range.

Check the crank sensor blade. It is convex shaped. It is possible that you put that on backwards. The convex (cone) part goes towards the engine. If it is placed backwards, the crankshaft position sensor will not pick up the signal when you are trying to turn the engine over. And you will not get spark or fuel. I found this out because I had the same problem and tons of "Google" Searches and much reading finally paid off and I was able to find the problem on my car. I know it's a pain to take off the crankshaft bolt and the lower timing belt cover, but if that's your problem (which I suspect it is), then all that hard work will be worth it. Because it will fire right up after you fix that one small issue. The books and forums don't specify how important that one small detail really is.

Reluctor wheel could be free spinning if the roll pin broke on the crank sprocket...that was my problem. It resulted in no fuel and no fire. Everyone needs to not exclude the obvious mitsubishi roll pin design flaw. I mean seriously...lets design a car and base its whole functionality on a hollow piece of metal an 1/8 of an inch thick. Great idea!
