As I'm wholly unfamiliar with this specific application, does anyone have a detailed procedure for diagnosing a sudden onset, no spark condition on a 94 Mitsubishi Eagle Summit with the 1.8 L, 16 valve engine?
Thanks in advance for your response and information.

One cylinder or all? How much milage? Have you replaced the plugs?
This isn't a generalized question about how to diagnose a no spark problem, the issue is specific to this application as the latter is quite unlike any I've previously encountered. I would most appreciate responses from those that might have wiring diagrams, schematics, pinouts, diagnostic procedures or leads to information about the specific system used in this application.

Mitsubishi offers all this online for $20 a day (expensive compared to Honda or Toyota!).
You can download, save, and print all the information you need.
lol. What does "mileage" have to do with "diagnosis" ?!?!
Thats a good, albeit admittedly relatively expensive lead, thanks. I'm attempting to assist an elderly woman on a fixed income and hoping someone may have something free to share but if not will avail myself of the info at your provided lead. Again my thanks.
since you have an obdI vehicle which does a lot of self diagnosis, why don't you get the car's engine computer to tell you what's wrong?

Can you give some more detail on your original comment that, "the issue is specific to this application as the latter is quite unlike any I've previously encountered"?

Spark plugs maybe? What do you *know* is the problem?
he hasn't even /started/ to *know* because he hasn't done even the simple stuff like pull the engine computer codes.

Precisely why I asked. No one here *knows*.
Contrary to the piss poor advice and inane questions you've garnered to date, this thread, found with a "mitsubishi 1.8 L no start" seed, may be just what you're been seeking.

Almost certainly the problem is the coil assembly or ignition control = module inside the distributor. See

That's god damn amazing! How do you do that?!?! Can you tell me what's wrong with my 93 4 Runner?!?! It won't start either?!?!
of course! he just plugs in to the psy-di* port and can tell you /exactly/ what's wrong.
LMAO! Do I need to push the truck closer to my dektop or do I just need to walk my laptop by it?!?!
Years of (mal)practice coupled with extension of my library of invective prose.

Car engines have to have three main things to run, Air, Fuel, and Ignition. cuhulin
