Just bought a used Mitsubishi Eclipse GS, 1994 model with the 2.0 DOHC non-turbo engine. I drove it home knowing that it needed some new parts under the hood (perhaps an idle control valve), and the next morning it wouldn't start. I can hear the starter cranking away when I try to start it, but there's no spark in any of the plugs, so it won't turn over. I'm getting fuel to all cylinders, so I'm reasonably confident the problem isn't with the injection or delivery systems. Timing chain is brand new, as is the head gasket, the alternator, the water pump, the belts, the spark plugs, and the spark plug wires. Should I now go and test the ignition coil, or what? I'm a little at a loss as to the next step in diagnosing the problem. Please help if you can!
