No start issue revisited...still

[SPD_FRK]

Have you checked your ignition module? That won't throw a code, and will directly relate to what problems you are having.

Taking a quick break to look through some things again, but I am off 1 tooth on the crank...1 frigging tooth! <_< craptastic


If the ignition module was faulty I wouldn't really get any spark, or a correct sequence even would I? Where is the ignition module located on the V6 then, isn't that all consolidated within the distributor assembly?

Should be part of the distributor.

Should be part of the distributor.

Well the timing belt is back on and timing marks are all lined up where they were before....and still a no start....getting pissed now lol.

Guess I will put that side back together and check out the distributor at this point

Pulled the distributor out a bit ago and found the rotor extremly hard to rotate by hand. Upon taking off the rotor, and the plate below I found some melted plastic on the bottom side that was causing the resistance. At this point I am thinking a new distributor is in order as I have checked everything else this far.

Good luck, sounds like it is a good chance it is the distributor if it looks like that.

Here are the photos of the UDP. You can clearly see where it is contacting the pulley against the timing belt cover;

Here are the photos of the distributor...tell me what you all think lol.




I ended up finding a good deal on Ebay for a distributor from a 3g eclipse with only 15K miles, only had to pay $82.50 shipped. Once the new one arrives this next week it should be the "fix" for the ongoing issue.

New distributor is installed and I still have the no start issue...what a great start to the weekend LOL.

Ivory8g and myself will be diving into this tomorrow to see if we can't find the cause for the problem. At this point everything has been checked out "ok" or been replaced with new parts...

Also, get a voltmeter and see if you get power to the injectors. On the injector plug - one of the wires should be constant +12V and the other one should be pulsating 0V to 12V while cranking

On the power wire of the injector terminal I have 12.43-12.57 volts. When checking the signal wire I am only reading 0.01-0.02 volts of signal on all six injectors. I checked the signal voltage at the connection for the seperate bank injector harness and still have same voltage readouts.

What would be the cause of a low, or basically non-existant signal voltage?

Have you checked the MFI relay?

[SPD_FRK]

Have you checked the MFI relay?

That is something I have, and still am reading a little more on checking out. When I pulled the MFI relay it did feel pretty warm to the touch. My fuel pump relay works, but it is possible the MFI relay crapped out...
